It seems that Kopex may not be a good suggestion after all. All the
advice I have got from shops and chimney specialists is that I need a
class 1 liner (which Kopex isn't) unless I buy one of the rare gas fires
that can cope with class 2 or Kopex.


A quick trawl through the instruction for several gas fires shows
about half as being suitable for _any_ flue type.

Class 1 liner? I had both a Stovax stove and an open gas fire fitted last
year. Both required liners (as our chimney was breached), but were told the
regulations had changed with respect to open gas fires so a flexible class 2
liner was fine. This cost around £360 or so, including fitting (though this
might have been for both of them and not just one).

If I were you I'd check out whether a class 2 liner will actually do as this
is a lot cheaper.

HTH.
