I have a 4Kw multifuel stove, brand new with certificate I am planning to put it in my conservatory & I have a few questions on both the method & legality before I make the final decision whether to do it or not.
I have been reading about the special flashing kits that enable the twin wall flue to exit straight up through a polycarbonate roof - this is the method I was contemplating, here are the details:
So based on the information above is it do-able? if so how tall would the flue need to be on exit to meet regulations?
How far from the wall would the stove need to sit (it is a plastered/emulsioned wall)
Would the twin wall flue have to be stainless steel?, or any twin wall?
Finally I am a very experienced multi-disciplined DIY'er with over 20 years experience (and no disasters!) basically If I can't do a job to a high standard I won't do it, so basically I am planning to do the installation myself is this permissible?, I believe you can do the installation yourself then contact your local authority to get it inspected & certified etc is this correct?, if so what would be the cost of having this done.
Any help or advice much appreciated
Thanks in advance
I have been reading about the special flashing kits that enable the twin wall flue to exit straight up through a polycarbonate roof - this is the method I was contemplating, here are the details:
- The stove will be against a cavity concrete block/brick wall (not PVC framework)
- 4Kw output multifuel stove with a 5" flue outlet - both top & rear
- The roof is 35mm Polycarbonate.
- The distance from the flue exit to the wall of my house would be approx 3.5 metres
- Distance to next door's wall even further, however very close to the wall of next door's outhouse
- there is a vent fitted in the conservatory if required?
- The flue could go through the wall using the rear exit on the stove, but obviously this involves more work, tools & materials
