The definitive guiding to choosing and installing a wood burning or multifuel stove
For rear of stove connection. You must be able to access this part for sweeping; if your stove is in a recess you must have large left and right air gaps to facilitate access and sweeping.
To strengthen flue pipe connections use short metal to metal self tappers, available in our Useful Items collection.
As with all vitreous pipe the bottom end narrows to a lesser diameter to enable insertion into other pieces of pipe (male is always on top). Key reason is that any condensation that trickles down inside pipe cannot escape. Straight lengths can be cut using a grinder and 115mm cutting disc (available from this online store).
Top tip: No fire cement or glue of any kind is used when connecting vitreous pipe to vitreous pipe - it is just push-fit. When to use fire cement on flue joints? Use the SEARCH function and type "sealing flue joints".The T piece was perfect for changing our existing woodburner to rear exit for the new chimney we have built. Looking at various websites it was very confusing until we found Stove Fitters. Their website contained all the information needed to buy the relevent parts and aid the construction of the chimney. Delivery was very quick and prices good compared to other stores. Would definitely recommend.
