In this guide, we will cover every aspect of this essential flue accessory, from installation to maintenance, ensuring you have all the information needed to make an informed decision.
Product Overview
The London Gather Hood 9 x 9 inch - Ø 180 is a state-of-the-art chimney fitting designed to expand the gas flow area from open fireplaces to Mi-Flex flue liners. Constructed from high-grade Natural/Stainless Steel (316L), it combines durability with excellent heat resistance, making it suitable for appliances that reach temperatures up to 600°C. Designed to work with various fuel types including wood (with less than 20% moisture), smokeless coal, gas, and oil, this gather hood is a versatile solution that ensures safe and efficient Chimney operation.
Key Benefits and Features
Efficient Gas Flow: One of the standout features of the London Gather Hood is its ability to create a larger flow area, which significantly improves gas evacuation. This design ensures optimal drawing of gases up the chimney, reducing the risk of back drafting and improving overall system efficiency.
Seamless Integration: Uniquely compatible with Mi-Flex 316 and 904 flexible flue liners, the gather hood works as a vital bridge between the fireplace opening and the flue system. This integration ensures that there are no gaps, which could lead to system inefficiencies or safety hazards.
Building Regulations Compliance: Adhering to the strict guidelines of Building Regulations Document J, our gather hood is suitable for installation in fully enclosed masonry chimneys. This adds an extra level of assurance that your installation meets UK safety standards.
Durable Construction: Made from robust stainless steel, the product is designed to withstand the extreme temperatures generated by modern heating appliances. This durability not only extends the lifespan of your chimney system but also reduces maintenance costs over time.
Installation and Maintenance
Proper installation of the London Gather Hood is critical to its performance. The fitting should be installed entirely within a masonry chimney. Use certified fire cement, ceramic rope, or high-temperature sealant to establish a gas-tight seal. The collector is designed to be fitted securely at the base and top of the chimney chamber, thus ensuring that the flow of gases is directed efficiently. It is highly recommended that installation be carried out by professionals who understand the nuances of chimney system assembly.
Maintenance is another vital aspect. To keep your chimney system operating at peak performance, have your system inspected and cleaned by a competent professional at least once a year, and twice yearly if you’re using solid fuels. Regular maintenance ensures the longevity of your installation and helps in identifying potential issues before they escalate into costly repairs.
