Schiedel 0-90 degree adjustable connector to sit stove out??!

Right. Situation as follow. http://http://www.justflues.co.uk/schiedel-vent-adjustable-bend-p-516.html?osCsid=f65ce8e806a131b460dca59c7be4bd9c

I have bought a Charnwood c4 Stove. Fits in fireplace with plenty of room left and right however The back is extremely tight from what the sweep has told me and suggests the fitter uses a schiedel connector to sit the stove further out to allow 75mm Charnwood recommend.

He did say that many installers would do it and sign it off but he wouldn't himself as There would then be too many bends in the system?!



Any thoughts and comments appreciated. Thanks

Charnwood offer a 'Vertical Rear Flue Adaptor' to enable you to space the stove away from the back wall, but I'm not sure that it will then still be possible to sweep the flue from within the stove

Correct. It the wont be possible. Just done a bit of a looksie and measurements and think it would sit out approx 30mm from back wall.

Unfortunately, the link on your first post didn't work, and I am not familiar with the Schiedel connector.

Does your stove have a straight stove pipe coming out of the top of the stove, and does it connect to a flexible liner?

suisidevw

Yes. I will do when all in place. That's the aim anyway! Subject to it being able to sit just off the wall!

It says it is for Gas flues on the description?

I can't really visualise your installation, but I was mildly interested in the following quote from AlleyCat's corrected link, given my recent rants about the pros and cons of register plates...

"Vent is for atmospheric appliances which have negative pressure flues meaning that when the system is primed and running at normal operating temperatures, air is drawn into the flue via the joints, assisting safe evacuation of flue gases"

I'm really sorry to hi-jack yet another of your threads - I'm quite a nice guy deep down!

Back To Topic...

It occurred to me that there will be little visual difference between the Schiedel connector and a short length of flexible flue liner, so you might be able to achieve a similar result by shortening your stove pipe slightly, and bringing the flue liner down and across to the top of the shortened stove-pipe.

Alternatively, you would not be the first person to lean your stove-pipe over slightly in order get it pointing in the right direction! Some would call it a bodge, but in a quirky old cottage, some might say it adds to the rustic charm.

Thanks for link correction. Would obviously be solid fuel one!

You can buy offset stove pipe which may give you the clearance you need. Something like..

Or you could buy two bends and create your own offset, something like these..

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6-Vitreous-Enamel-Flue-Pipe-Matt-Black-15-Deg-Bend-/180931041777?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Other_Fireplaces&hash=item2a205499f1

Some sites give the dimensions of the pipe so you can work out the offset of various bends with different angles.

Adds a fair bit to the cost mind.

Thanks Wonky. I thought I'd have had to do something like that however the sweep said my chimney already has 4 bends in it, so putting something like that in would make 5/.6?!
