Whether you are a homeowner or a professional installer, this comprehensive overview is intended to answer your questions and help you understand why this gather hood is an indispensable part of your installation.
What is the London Gather Hood?
The London Gather Hood plays a crucial role in the combustion process by enabling a smooth transition of gases from the fireplace to the flue liner. Its primary function is to enlarge the area for gas flow, thereby ensuring that the gases ascend efficiently through the chimney without backdrafts or leaks. This product is specifically engineered to work seamlessly with Mi-Flex 316 and 904 flexible flue liners, meeting the stringent requirements of Building Regulations Document J. The robust build not only guarantees safety but also accommodates diverse fuel types including wood, smokeless coal, gas, and oil.
Key Features and Advantages
High-Temperature Performance: The London Gather Hood is rated for appliances operating up to 600°C, making it suitable for high-temperature applications while ensuring longevity under extreme conditions.

Secure Installation: The hood is engineered to provide a gas-tight seal when installed properly within a masonry chimney. This feature is critical in preventing the escape of harmful gases and ensuring indoor safety.
Durable Construction: Made from 316L stainless steel combined with natural finishes, the product delivers robust performance and exceptional durability, resisting corrosion and wear over time.
Installation and Maintenance
Proper installation is critical to the performance of the London Gather Hood. Before installation, ensure that all necessary accessories – such as fire cement, ceramic rope, and high-temperature sealant – are available. The installation process involves securely affixing the hood to the chimney structure, thereby creating a reliable junction between the fireplace opening and the flexible flue liner. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s installation guidelines meticulously and to adhere to the Building Regulations. Regular maintenance, including professional chimney sweeping at least once a year (or twice for solid fuel appliances), is advised to maintain optimal performance and safety of your chimney system.
Selecting Optional Accessories
While the London Gather Hood provides all the essentials for a secure and efficient chimney system, there are several optional accessories available that can further enhance its performance and ease of installation. These accessories include longer ceramic ropes for extended applications, specialised high-temperature seals, and additional fire-resistant cements. Exploring these accessories could be beneficial if you have unique installation requirements or if you want to ensure maximum safety and operational efficiency. We encourage you to review these options to tailor your chimney setup precisely to your needs.
Detailed Specifications and Compliance
The London Gather Hood meets all necessary standards, including BSEN 1856-2 for T600 operations. With its 316L stainless steel build, the product is not only durable but also resistant to the corrosive effects of high-temperature gases and varying weather conditions. Its compatibility with diverse fuel types makes it a versatile choice in both residential and commercial applications. Always verify that your installation adheres strictly to the specified technical requirements to avoid any issues with compliance or performance.
Addressing Common Concerns
Many users have questions regarding the installation of the gather hood and its compatibility with other components in the chimney system. For instance, concerns about achieving a gas-tight seal are common. Rest assured, by following the detailed installation instructions and using the recommended accessories, you can establish a secure connection that prevents gas leakage. Another frequent question pertains to the maintenance of the system.
