    If I wanted to run some metal flue up the exterior wall [full hieght of two story house]....- should it be done in single wall or twinwalled insulated sections? [regs or recomended guidelines wise].
    Also, what is the minimum distance allowed between the rising flue and any window frames that might be near it.

    Any info appreciated - wayoutwest.

    It should be done in twin wall to keep the flue gas temps up as it helps with draw
    The distance to combustibles is determined by the flue manufacturer but it can be as little ad 80mm
    The flue should be a min size of 150mm
    No 90 degree bends and no horizontal pipe longer than 150mm
