The Screw-FIX Nose Cone - Ø 125 is a precision-engineered accessory designed to streamline the installation of MI-FLEX 316L and 904 flexible flue liners. This nose cone attaches securely to the leading end of the liner, enabling it to be smoothly pulled down an existing masonry chimney, minimising snagging and reducing installation time. This item is suitable for appliances operating up to 600°C (T600 designation) and can be used with wood (under 20% moisture), smokeless coal, gas, and oil.
It's a crucial component in fulfilling Building Regulations Document J, which mandates that flexible flue liners must be entirely enclosed within masonry chimneys. Note that draw cords are not supplied with the nose cone. Regular sweeping and maintenance are vital to ensure chimney efficiency and safety, and all servicing should be performed by a competent professional, preferably HETAS registered.
The chimney and appliance should be inspected and cleaned at least once annually, with a recommendation for biannual cleaning for solid fuel appliances to avoid any blockages or deposits.
Before beginning installation, ensure the masonry chimney and flue liner are clean and free from obstructions. Securely attach the Screw-FIX Nose Cone to the leading end of your MI-FLEX liner before insertion. Gently pull the liner through the chimney, using the nose cone to guide it smoothly and prevent snagging. It is important to note that draw cords are not included, so ensure you have the appropriate tools for manoeuvring the liner if necessary. Always consult a HETAS registered professional for installation, and perform regular chimney sweeps to maintain safety and efficiency.

A Comprehensive Guide to the Screw-FIX Nose Cone - Ø 125
When it comes to upgrading your chimney installation, the Screw-FIX Nose Cone - Ø 125 is an indispensable accessory that promises a hassle-free installation process and lasting performance. Manufactured from high-grade 316L stainless steel, this product is designed with precision engineering to cater specifically to MI-FLEX 316L and 904 flexible flue liners. In this buyer's guide, we will explore its features, benefits, installation tips, and how it meets the stringent safety standards of modern chimney systems.
Why Choose the Screw-FIX Nose Cone - Ø 125?
Durability and Performance: The robust 316L stainless steel construction means you are investing in a tool that will withstand demanding conditions over a long period. Its excellent resistance to corrosion and high temperatures ensures that even when subjected to the rigours of chimney installations, the nose cone remains in peak condition.
Streamlined Installation Process: Perhaps the most significant benefit is its ability to guide the flexible flue liner smoothly down the chimney. Traditional installations can be fraught with the risk of snagging against rough masonry, but the Screw-FIX design mitigates these issues, reducing installation times and potential damage to the liner.
Versatility in Application: Whether you are working with an appliance that burns wood (under 20% moisture), oil, gas, or smokeless coal, this nose cone is up to the task. Its compatibility with various fuel types makes it a versatile accessory that adapts to multiple heating systems.
Installation Tips and Best Practices
Preparation is Key: Before installation, always check the condition of your masonry chimney and the liner itself. A clean, obstruction-free installation path is crucial for optimal performance. Consider scheduling a professional chimney inspection to ensure that your system is ready for the flange and liner application.
Step-by-Step Installation:
- Attach the Screw-FIX Nose Cone securely to the front of your MI-FLEX flue liner.
- Ensure that the liner is properly aligned within the chimney to avoid any misplacement.
- Carefully pull the liner into the chimney, using the nose cone to steer it through corners and bends without snags.
- Confirm that all joints are secure once installation is complete. This careful process not only enhances safety but also improves the overall efficiency of your chimney system.
Professional Installation: Although the process is designed for ease of use, it is always recommended that chimney installations and maintenance be carried out by a HETAS registered professional. This ensures that all components comply with safety standards and local regulations.
Safety and Regulatory Compliance
Building Regulations Document J mandates that any flexible flue liner must be fully enclosed within the masonry chimney. The Screw-FIX Nose Cone - Ø 125 is designed to meet and exceed these requirements, providing a reliable solution that is both safe and effective. Additionally, its CE and HETAS approvals are a testament to its adherence to the highest industry standards for quality and performance.
Maintenance and Long-Term Benefits
Regular maintenance is integral to the longevity of both your chimney and the flue liner accessory. Annual cleaning is recommended, with biannual servicing for solid fuel appliances. This practice not only ensures efficient performance but also extends the life of your installation, reducing the need for costly repairs in the future.
Ease of Maintenance: The design of the nose cone allows for simple removal and cleaning, making it user-friendly and straightforward to maintain. A well-maintained chimney is critical not only for performance but also for ensuring that your home remains safe from potential hazards such as blockages or fire risks.
Evaluating the Cost-Effectiveness
While the initial investment in a quality accessory like the Screw-FIX Nose Cone - Ø 125 might seem significant, the long-term benefits far outweigh the costs. With improved installation efficiency and reduced risk of installation errors, you save on potential service visits and maintenance disruptions. This cost-effective solution is ideal for both retail customers and trade professionals seeking reliable performance with minimal downtime.
Options for Additional Accessories
When planning your chimney upgrade, it is worthwhile to consider other complementary accessories that can further enhance performance. Although the draw cords are not included with the nose cone, there are other MI-FLEX compatible accessories available that can assist with the manual handling and installation of your flue liner. These accessories, when chosen wisely, can offer a complete solution to your chimney installation challenges.
