Hi,
Have spent some time with google groups trying to find a definitive answer but still not sure... I need to install a liner into an old stone chimney but have had conflicting advice on what's required. It's for a decorative flame effect gas fire, house is stone built around 1920. The chimney looks to be about 12-14" diameter, when doing a smoke test smoke appeared in one of the upstairs rooms through the open fireplace, hence my need for a flexible liner. Some say a standard 7" liner will be fine, others indicate 6" or 7" twin wall liner is required. Doing on the job on a tight budget, but safety is of course important. The instructions mention a 7" flue liner should be used but don't mention twin wall, although a diagram of a Class 1 chimney is shown. The appliance is described as 'For decorative effect only' manufactured to current issue of EN 509. Can anyone offer any advise please? Many Thanks Mike |
