Any gas reg savvy types about??

Hi, As part of a big renovation we will be installing a new flueless gas fire in a ground floor extention. I do realise these are not readily accepted by some plumbers, but that is the plan. I just need to ensure we comply with the regs regarding ventilation, i.e, a vent of 100 sq cms must be provided.
Can anyone confirm how this has to be achieved. With difficulty it could be done directly through the cavity wall to the outside, but there are issues with siting the vent on either of the 2 available walls.
This ground floor extension however backs onto a cold, i.e, unheated storeroom. Would it be possible to vent into this and then again to the outside??
Thanks for any help,:T

afaik you have to vent direct to the outside.
you can possibly use a trunking system through the storeroom.
(but ive not read the latest regs).Get some gorm.0 -

Wow, rapid response mate, thanks
I was just hoping I could use the cold room as a temp buffer if that makes senseI like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

The answer is yes you probably can as long as the other room contains a vent to outside (which may need to be larger). Your RGI can advise you better.0

That was exactly what I was thinking, ie double up the size of the secondary vent. I have a corgi guy due shortly to extend the gas installation after damage during the works, I'll talk it over with him:TI like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

You only need a vent of the same size if you are going through 1 wall, it only needs to be bigger any more than 1 room/wall!!!0
