I am about to upgrade my existing flexi flue liner (single skin gas) to a double skinned liner for my multi-fuel stove. I have a connector to go from the flexi liner (6") into the rigid pipe (5") and the manual tells me to put fire cement around the joints. There is no fixing other than sliding the 2 pieces together and the cement. I was wondering whether to screw some self tappers in to make it more secure (sealed with cement)? Has anyone done this, any advice?

Thanks for that. Did you get a Hetas registered person to check your installation? There seems to be a lot of regulation around installing a solid fuel stove these days!

It was 20 years ago & the honest answer is no(but I am not sure there was a requirement to do it then ). By the way is your fixed pipe the enamelled type, only drilling to fit screws could make a real mess of it, if it is

No it's a metal pipe. I will just use cement as you suggest. I have spoken to a HETAS installer and he has informed me that if you do the work yourself, the you get the local council to carry out an inspection.
