Wasn't sure whether to post this here or in General forum. I went for here.
This may be a stupid question, but can anyone help clarify what size flue pipe is required for a Stovax Brunel 2CB? The specification on the Stovax website says 5". However, the actual installation instructions (under Brunel 2CB technical information on that web page), give the diameter as 6”, with this note:
“May be reduced to 128mm (5") if burning approved smokeless fuels or burning wood in an appliance approved for use in a DEFRA smoke control area”
(in Installation Checklist, 2. Essential information) I’ll only be burning wood.

However, every retailer’s website I’ve looked at repeats the 5” diameter from the Stovax web page, but also says the stove is not DEFRA approved. So I’m left a little confused.
I have a used Brunel 2CB that will be installed and properly signed off this year. Due to clearances to combustibles it will be easier to run twin wall right down to the stove. 5” is going to look less ridiculously chunky on this small stove than 6” (7” external rather than 8”)
I’ve emailed Stovax but to date have had no reply.
Cheers
