To install, simply fold the metal flaps at right angles and screw them into the brickwork, securing the hood firmly in place. Remember, flexible flue liners must be fully enclosed within a masonry chimney per Building Regulations Document J, and this gather hood helps comply with those standards.Maintenance is straightforward; the chimney system should be designed to facilitate easy sweeping and inspections. We recommend using a HETAS registered sweep for solid fuel applications, and cleaning should occur at least once a year. For solid fuel appliances, twice-yearly sweeps are advisable to clear any deposits or obstructions, such as bird nests.
