The Gather Hood (300x300) - Ø 150 is an essential addition to any chimney system where flexible flue liners are used above open fireplaces. Manufactured by National Flues, this robust and efficient accessory is designed to improve gas flow and ensure optimal performance and safety in your home. In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the product’s features, benefits, and installation process, addressing any questions you may have to help you make an informed decision.
What is a Gather Hood?
A gather hood is a specialized component installed at the top of a chimney chamber. Its primary purpose is to efficiently channel the gases produced by your heating appliance through the flexible flue liner. By doing so, it enhances the draft and overall performance of your chimney system. The design is particularly suitable for use with MI-FLEX 316 and 904 flexible flue liners, making it versatile for a range of heating applications.
Key Features and Benefits
High-Quality Material: The gather hood is made from 316L stainless steel, ensuring long-term durability and resistance to the corrosive effects of high temperatures. This material choice not only optimises performance but also minimizes the need for frequent replacements.
Improved Gas Flow: By enlarging the area where gases can gather before they ascend the chimney, the gather hood significantly improves the efficiency of gas flow. This results in a safer and more efficient draw, reducing the risk of blockages and buildups in the chimney system.
Temperature Tolerance: With a design approved for use at temperatures up to 600°C, the gather hood is well-suited for high-temperature environments. This makes it an ideal solution for installations that require robust performance under extreme conditions.
Versatile Fuel Compatibility: Whether your heating appliance burns wood (with less than 20% moisture), smokeless coal, gas, or oil, this gather hood is engineered to handle a variety of fuel types effectively. This versatility ensures that your chimney system remains optimised regardless of the fuel used.
Compliance and Safety: With HETAS and CE approvals, the gather hood meets strict safety regulations. Its design adheres to Building Regulations Document J, offering peace of mind that your installation is both safe and legally compliant.
Installation and Maintenance
Professional Installation Recommended
While the gather hood is designed for ease of installation, it is essential to have the installation conducted by a competent professional. This ensures that all connections are secure and that the system complies with local safety standards, including Building Regulations Document J. The installation procedure typically involves positioning the gather hood beneath the flexible flue liner, securing the adaptor, and attaching metal flaps to the chimney’s brickwork.
Easy Maintenance
Ongoing maintenance is critical for the performance of your chimney system. The design of the gather hood allows for easy cleaning and inspection, ensuring that soot and debris do not compromise the efficiency of your setup. Regular annual inspections, or more frequently for solid fuel appliances, will help maintain optimal function over time.

Cost Concerns
Investing in a high-quality gather hood may seem like a significant expense upfront, but its benefits far outweigh the costs. The high-grade materials and compliance with safety standards ensure longevity and reliability, reducing the need for costly repairs or replacements in the future.
