Chinemy flue liner - single to double

rampantbunny

Might be a pipe-dream here (literally ) but I'm wondering if there's such a thing as a single to double flue liner.

To explain; on my house plans I have a chimney stack that will contain a single flue run. Aesthetically, I find the single flue exiting the chimney to look a bit on the anorexic side, so would like to see two flues on the top.

So, what I'm hoping is available is a product that will sit into the last section of single flue, and split\branch this into two flues just as it exits the chimney i.e. I will be faking it.

I don't know if the chimney is wide enough to accommodate this (certainly looks pretty big on paper) but will work that out and any performance issues if there is a product available.


[EDIT]
Suppose I could gradually lean the real flue to one side of the chimney stack as it approaches the top, and just plonk a single flue liner on the other side if I had to. Might even be better in terms of not restricting air flow.

Hmmm.. possible to lean chimney flues?

Haven't heard of such a thing but that doesn't mean someone hasn't thought of it.

What if you were to set one of these low to the cap:

From below it might appear as a double flue?

Just put a false pot on top no?

I think that's what the OP was leaning towards at the end of the post. (I'll get me coat)

Angle the "real" flue to come out one side of stack and pop a blank on the other side.

Had to read that twice to get the 'leaning' part. Maybe I should get my coat instead..

Thanks for posting the pic Gulliver...looks a bit wide though but it is something close to what I imagined might be available.

And john_cappa, false pot it just might be. As Gulliver said, angle the real flue over to one side. The only question I have is, is leaning a flue the right thing to do. Maybe there are regs for this, but I can't think of a more boring search tbh

Just saw my spelling of chimney in the subject. Hope no one thinks any less of me (if that's possible seeing as I've started a thread on probably the most uninteresting subject on boards)

There is no problem putting the flue at an angle in the chimney.

The Victorians often did this where symmetry was more important than practicality

Is there a subtle message in there Francis, that persuading the flue to exit on one side of the chimney is not a practical thing to do?

No - not at all - may UK Victorian houses had chimneys which where blocked which were just there for aesthetics

But I have just one chimney on my house it say "I only need one as I am Passive - so there!!" :pac:

Ah I see Francis - your chimney is making a statement...an interesting thing.
But not to be outdone, I might settle for a chimney without a flue entirely...now that's a statement - plus my symmetry issue is nicely resolved!

I'm possibly using too much sarcasm in this here post, but I don't mean offence.
