The twin wall flu has quite a few rules of its own. I got stovefitterswarehouse.co.uk to do a design for me. It's free and they give you a complete parts list. They're also about the cheapest about so likely I will be buying my stuff from them.

I don't think I mentioned this but my fire and the info I am giving is based on the wood burning version. Also just to mention that I only started to look in to this last week and obviously any advice I give should be checked by a HETAS engineer as I am certainly no expert ;). So assuming yours...

Expert o_O Yes I did, I've spent quite a bit of time over the last week looking into my design including having a TV above and taking into account all of the manufacturers installation parameters I'm currently struggling to make it work. When I spoke to the technical people at Stovax they...

I've managed to get answers direct from techincal guys at Stovax and if it helps anyone else here they are.. The constructional hearth would be located at floor level and a concrete floor of 125mm would suffice. Also note that the image in the post does not comply with the installation...

Hi Russ, Was the roof design done with the knowledge that the existing back wall would be removed? Mark.

Hi all, I'm currently building a house and the downstairs living room is going to have a media style wall with an in built raised fireplace and I'm hoping for some help regarding constructional hearth requirements. I've looked at the installation manual, read through the building regs, searched...

Thanks very much for your answers! (y)

Hi all, Hoping for some advice. I am currently fitting a couple of new radiators and I am trying to establish if I can fit the valves as per my pictures. This first picture I am fairly sure is OK... But I'm not so sure about the one below.... Note that the photo's only show the...

Hi all, I'm hoping for a little advice regarding my self build. I am planning on fitting all of the radiator pipework myself but have not yet decided on whether I am having a combi boiler or a solar heated water tank for my hot water or even a combination of them both or something else...

@denso13 Thanks for that, very much appreciated! (y)

@denso13 Thanks, will this work for s trap, p trap and horizontal outlet toilets? Also like your "Doogle" thumbnail :LOL:

@ETAF Thanks for the advice, I should be able to get the fall correct as the joists are eco-joists the ones with the metal and therefore loads of space to pass the pipes through. It's the position of the "closet flange?" that I'm struggling with as I 'm worried that if I get it in the wrong...

Hi all, Hoping for some advice. I'm a self builder and I am about to put in the plumbing for 2 ensuites and a main bathroom. Each has a toilet and it's the waste pipe to soil pipe plumbing that I need a little help with. 1 toilet will go up against an outside wall so I'm OK with that one as I...

For future would applying PVA help? I have been told that it is not required for brand new boards but if it helps???

Hi all, Hoping for some advice. I have had some plastering done and lots of tiny cracks have appeared in it, many of which are not on any joins The walls were brand new plasterboard, screwed and glued and taped. It was quite hot when the plastering was done but the room is at the back of the...

All lights will be LED. Yes all circuits on edition 18 units.

I've got one but I am trying to bend some pipe in a small space and the one I have is to big. I actually also bought a Rothenberger ratchet one only to be told afterwards that it's not designed for hard copper pipe just multi layer pipe and soft refrigeration copper.

Thanks to everyone for their input , it's very much appreciated . (y) I now think I have enough opinions and new information to push me towards not having any form of angle changing system, it's just a pity that I could not have a ground based tracked system as they appear to significantly...

Thanks to all for all of the help! (y) If I decided to take the power from another circuit then am I better to take the power from a lighting circuit or a socket circuit via a fused spur? This question is for both the alarm panel and the network hub I guess I'm just concerned about interference...

I have attached a few more photos. There are actually 2 benders. One for 8mm, 10mm and 12mm. The other for 14mm and 16mm. I've also included the box that they came in that shows some other items which may help.
