I would really appreciate some advice before we let our gas fitter in to connect up our new Yeomans CL5 gas stove. He is HETAS certified but has not given us totally accurate advice so far (regarding the hearth).
Our chimney was a strange diagonal design which is apparently used occasionally to save space with the ajoining house (1850s). Therefore the chimney space was deemed completely unusable by our gas installer, and it has been boarded up (so a flat chimney breast with no recess). The flue will connect to the chimney.
Can someone please advise how the flue will go into the wall and whether a register plate is used? How is the flue insulated from the plaster board that has been used to board the chimney?
We received the free installation pack with the stove, which comes with a "galvanised stainless steel register plate (1000mm x 500mm with a thickness of 1.5mm)".
Will that just sit behind the stove looking ugly? If so, how can it be cut down/what are the minimum dimensions?
