Hi,

I have recently removed a flue from the house and was looking at re-using it for a log burner. Its double skin and the internal diameter is 125mm so its suitable for a log burner. However it has 4 connecting lugs to join each of the flue parts together and a band which goes round the outside. The outside is a a sort of stainless steel mottled effect. Does anyone know of this make - I had a look at selkirk and they seem to have 6 lugs.

Also if anyone has any flue of this type they dont want to use then I would be very interested in hearing from you as I need some 45 degree parts to go through the wall if I proceed.

Thanks

Don't mess around with flues as if it goes wrong you'll kill yourself or your family. Get an expert (HETAS) in to sort thoings out.

Never use a second hand flue, Even though it might look ok, once re-installed its got to last at least 10 years. Also if your not sure it could even be a gas flue liner, that is much thiner that a solid fuel flue liner, unless your an expert you wont really know the difference, My advise - dump it and get a new one. Flue liners are not expensive any more, you can pick them up on Ebay for around £13 per metre delivered.
