liner into old chimney for gas stove

[strath44]

Hi Folks,

we are currently getting our roof replaced with new slate and the chimney was to get repointed. It was deemed as unsafe and had to be pulled down and rebuilt with new stone (it was in terrible condition).

We have a Morso Gas Stove which was brought from our old house and we would like to fit it here, the stone mason has suggested fitting the main flu / chimney liner whilst the chimney cap / cope is off and it is stripped down.

I will be getting a hetas engineer to fit the stove but can anyone recommend a liner to use just now so that in a few months when work is done inside the stove engineer can fit the stove in with metal plate and flu attachment later.

This is our gas stove

Thanks folks, got advice and fitting a 125mm or 5in flue liner.

Will be getting it connected at the other end by the relevant person.

I was initially going to fit a 6 inch on the off chance we ever put a wood burner on that chimney however after speaking to morso they recommend 5 inch on my stove and said there could be issues with the 6 inch - what I don't know maybe to do with exhausting the fumes etc.

But yes much different to fitting a flu for a log burner I think the recommended is 6 inch min for them!

"Had a closer look and indeed you are correct - the output collar is 6" but a 5" flue is fine............

Indeed that had even the morso tech initially confused and say fit a 6inch as that is the collar size however they called back to say definitely fit a 5 inch!

My stove is also available as a wood burner etc so I reckon they use the same cast for a lot of stoves!

I should have asked the fitters what they were using at our old house when it was installed there!
