The London Gather Hood 9 x 12 inch - Ø 125 is an essential component for anyone installing a flexible flue liner in their chimney system. Crafted specifically for Mi-Flex 316 and 904 flue liners, this gather hood transitions the fireplace opening to the flexible flue liner, ensuring a seamless connection. General applications include use with wood (under 20% moisture content), smokeless coal, gas, and oil appliances, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 600°C (T600 designation).
The gather hood attaches to the base of the chimney, and appropriate provisions must be made to secure bottom fixings to ensure a gas-tight seal using fire cement, ceramic rope/tape, or high-temperature sealant. Regular maintenance through sweeping by a competent person is crucial for maintaining chimney efficiency and safety, especially for solid fuel appliances, where sweeping is recommended twice annually.

Installation of the London Gather Hood should be carried out with careful attention to detail. Firstly, ensure that your chimney base is properly prepared and stable. The gather hood is fitted at the bottom of the chimney to transition your open fireplace to the flexible flue liner. Use the provided adaptor to attach the gather hood securely to the Mi-Flex liner. To achieve a gas-tight seal, it is essential to use fire cement, ceramic rope/tape, or a high-temperature sealant, following the recommended installation guidelines. Additionally, observe all relevant building regulations, particularly Document J, which highlights the necessity of enclosing the flexible flue liner within a masonry structure. Remember, proper maintenance of the chimney system, including regular sweeping by a competent person, is crucial for both efficiency and safety.

London Gather Hood Buyers Guide
When it comes to upgrading your chimney system, the London Gather Hood 9 x 12 inch - Ø 125 from National Flues stands out as a top-tier solution. This comprehensive guide will walk you through why this persistent component is an essential part of your installation, how it works, and what you should consider during purchase and installation.
What is the London Gather Hood?
The London Gather Hood is designed to facilitate a secure and efficient connection between the open fireplace and your flexible flue liner. Its primary function is to expand the area at the base of your chimney, ensuring that gases are evacuated safely and effectively. Crafted for compatibility with Mi-Flex 316L and 904 flue liners, this hood is adept at managing the diverse needs of wood-burning, gas, oil, and smokeless coal appliances. Its robust construction and high temperature tolerance (up to 600°C) make it an optimal choice for both residential and commercial installations.
Key Benefits and Features
One of the main attractions of the London Gather Hood is its straightforward design paired with exceptional performance. Here are some key benefits to consider:
- Efficiency: The design ensures a seamless transition for gases, minimising backflow and maximising exhaust performance.
- Durability: Constructed from natural stainless steel, it promises longevity even under demanding conditions.
- Versatility: Suitable for multiple fuel types, it offers flexibility and convenience.
- Compliance: Meets necessary building regulations, giving you peace of mind during inspections.
These features then translate into real-world benefits. A safe, secure gather hood helps prevent potential hazards and maintenance issues, thus safeguarding your home and enhancing overall energy efficiency.
Installation Considerations
Installing the London Gather Hood requires precision and care. Ensure that your chimney’s base is properly reinforced and clean. It must be securely affixed to guarantee that the connection between the flue liner and chimney is both stable and gas-tight. Always use the recommended fixings – whether that’s fire cement, ceramic rope/tape, or high-temperature sealant. For those who appreciate a step-by-step approach, detailed installation instructions are available and should be followed diligently. Remember, the longevity and safety of your chimney system depend heavily on correct installation practices.
Addressing Common Concerns
For many homeowners, a common concern is how the gather hood integrates with existing chimney systems. Rest assured, the London Gather Hood is designed with user-friendly installation in mind. It is compatible with a variety of chimney and flue liner setups, meaning fewer compatibility issues. Some questions often raised include:
- Will it fit my flue liner? Yes, it is specifically tailored for Mi-Flex 316L and 904 liners, which match many standard installations.
- Is it safe for use with all fuel types? Absolutely, as it is engineered to handle wood (provided it is under 20% moisture), smokeless coal, gas, and oil appliances.
- How often should the chimney be maintained after installation? Regular chimney sweeping is recommended at least once annually, or twice for solid fuel appliances.
Why Choose Optional Accessories?
While the London Gather Hood is robust on its own, pairing it with optional accessories can further optimise your installation. Accessories such as additional sealing materials, maintenance tools, and compatible chimney caps enhance both safety and performance. For those seeking a truly bespoke installation, we offer a range of accessories specifically designed to complement our gather hood. These add-ons can make the installation process quicker and ensure a more efficient system in the long run.
