Any help would be much appreciated.
I am installing a multifuel stove 4 KW. Chimney is clay lined and house only 20 years old. Bulilding control have advised no liner needed asth flue is in excellent condition. Now th problem.
The flue is not central with the fireplace and is in fact several inches to the left. The stove pipe will therefore not go straight up into the clay liner.
Two ways I thought of overcoming.
1. fit the register plate into the throat which is wider than the flue. and seal register plate with fire cement. Stoive pipe will then discharge slightly to the right of the actual flue liner into the original throat cavity. The throat is in good condition and angled into the clay liner.
2. Use a bend in the stove pipe. Although I am not sure I have room for it. Obviously need to be less than 45 degrees.
Anyone any suggestions or have come across this before? Obviously it will need to comply with building regulations when building control come to sign it off.
THANKS
BOB
