Hi all.
I seem to have snookered myself, but maybe (hopefully) there is a way around it...
I have a stove planned for my living room, with a flue going straight up through the ceiling into the bedroom wardrobe space above, and on through the roof. Installer had planned on using Dinak DW or T600 flue, but...
- 125mm flue outer diameter is 175mm
- Receommended clearance between flue and combustibles (joists), 60mm
- Space between joists (in first floor), 285mm
So that suggests that my joists are 10mm too close for this to be compliant?
- Can I solve this problem with a heat shield on one side (I think a heat shield needs 25mm circulation, but what are they and how thick are they?)
- Any other flue system/brand that may squeeze in here? Related - is that 60mm clearance a manufacturer recommendation or a regulation?
(The roof joists are wider spaced, so this problem just exists at first floor level)
Thanks, James
