Hi,

I need to order an insulated Stainless steel 316 flue liner.
Have any of you found a supplier at a good cost? It seems expensive stuff.

thanks!

Thanks for the info guys, very useful.

Just to add a few details for anyone who reads this who is building a new chimney for a solid fuel stove (details are based on recommendations from good stove suppliers):

I ran 1 inch copper pipes to and from the stove, this copper pipe needs to be at least 3m long both on the flow and return before it changes into a flexible qualpex etc.
I also ran 1/2 inch qualpex pipes to and from the stove - the flow to the stove is a cold water feed, the return is a drain. I ran the qualpex pipe-in-pipe which is a corrugated tube the qualpex pipe comes in - its easy to change the qualpex pipe by pulling it out of the corrugated pipe if there is ever a leak.

The chimney is built using an all-in-one flue gatherer sitting on lintels about 3 1/2 feet off the finished floor level. This should be high enough for the majority of stoves.

I left enough room in an alcove within the chimney for the plumber to connect all the pipework, it should be easy to build up blocks as required afterwards to make this alcove smaller if needed.

The chimney is built up with standard clay pipes that are 8 inches internal diameter and 18 inches long each, the mortar joints on the liners need to be kept clean to help get the flexible flue in afterwards. Blockwork goes around these clay pipes.

It's better to have the chimney go straight up with no bends, but if there are bends just keep them as short and at as little off vertical as possible.

Not sure if I need a chimney cap to stop rain/ birds getting in.

For what its worth I also ran 1/2 inch qualpex to and from every radiator location back to a central point where the central heating manifold will be. This way every radiator will have its own flow and return and the rooms can have individual temp control. A bit of an overkill maybe but its simple to run the pipes and no calculations needed to worry about different pipe diameters looping between radiators.

Standard practice is not to run qualpex less than 1 meter to a boiler and cylinder. In the case of a stove I would incease this distance. It saggs. BADLY.

Additionally, Excel Industries does flu in dublin. they also supply all over the country. Call them and ask them for the nearest stockist!

Good advice re qualpex near the stove, I did put 1 inch copper pipe (flow and return) for the last 3 metres to the stove, and my (potential) stove supplier says there is no need for any other pipes, so I can probably leave the qualpex buried but he also said that the copper pipe should run vertically from the stove up to roof level and then can head to the thermal store, making sure its copper all the way to the thermal store.

Its hard to get to grips with stove plumbing and chimney design with SO many different opinions/ advice out there...
