Chimney liner question

[willismp]

Hi,

Just had a HATAS chap install a SS chimney liner and made the connection to stove. The adapter between the flexible liner and rigid flue pipe has not been sealed with anything.

We questioned, he said so condensation can run down the outside of the pipe and go into the flue and then stove. Makes sense, however also could the smoke not also excape?

Cant find the regs on line, any ideas?

thanks

Mark

Hope this works?

This is not my actual house, but the same adapter and flue,

thanks

CouLd not be 100% sure, but it sounds wrong. That joint is normally sealed, and the condensation to worry about is INSIDE the flue, as it is corrosive.

I always run a bead of silicate cement round the joint though I don't believe that it is necessary as there is a sleeve that slides up the inside of the flexi liner that is attached to fitting, directing the smoke up the flue and not out through the joint..
