Stove register plate-necessary?

    We just had a multi-fuel stove fitted, the stove sits on the hearth of an existing fireplace. We got a new marble back panel with a designated hole for the stove flue which is rear-mounted. There is a 45 degree bend in the flue which is then directed up the chimney.

    Should there be a register plate or some system that seals the stove flue to the original chimney flue? The chimney did not neeed to be lined. As far as I can tell there is no connection between the stove flue and the existing chimney flue...

    I am just a bit worried about the fact that there was no mention of a register plate or stove flue/chimney flue joiner from the installer?:confused:

    Well by the sounds of it you are in trouble , if there is no connection between the styove pipe and chimney and you have a back place blockinbg access to the chimney....where is the soot gonna go when you sweep it?

    Thanks for that - pardon my ignorance but is that because if they sweep the chimney from the stove the soot will spill down the gap between the chimney flue and the stove flue?
