Introduction
When it comes to achieving both efficiency and safety in your chimney system, the London Gather Hood 9 x 12 inch - Ø 200 from National Flues stands in a class of its own. Designed to facilitate a seamless transition between your fireplace opening and the flexible flue liner, this gather hood is an essential upgrade for modern heating systems, no matter if you use wood, smokeless coal, gas, or oil. In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the key features, benefits, installation process, and the reasons why this product is the ideal choice for your home.
Key Benefits and Features
Durability and Safety:
Constructed from high-quality 316L stainless steel, the London Gather Hood is built to withstand extreme temperatures of up to 600°C. This durability ensures that your chimney system remains reliable even during the coldest winter months. The gather hood adheres to the BSEN 1856-2 T600 standards, highlighting its robust design and safety features.
Enhanced Chimney Efficiency:
The design of this gather hood provides a considerably larger gas flow area, allowing combustion gases to escape efficiently through the flexible flue liner. This feature is particularly important for maintaining a clean burning process and ensures that your chimney operates at peak performance.
Versatile Compatibility:
Whether your heating system is powered by wood, smokeless coal, gas, or oil, this gather hood is engineered to deliver optimal results. It is specifically designed to work in conjunction with Mi-Flex 316 and 904 flue liners, making it a versatile and reliable addition to your chimney installation.
Secure Installation:
One of the standout features is the secure adaptor equipped with metal flaps. These flaps are designed to attach firmly to both the top and base of the chimney chamber, ensuring that the gather hood stays securely in place, thereby enhancing the overall safety of your installation. Moreover, the appliance is integral to meeting the requirements outlined in Building Regulations Document J.
Installation and Maintenance
The installation of the London Gather Hood requires precision and adherence to safety protocols. It is imperative that the gather hood is completely enclosed within the masonry chimney. Do not leave any flexible components exposed, as this could compromise both safety and performance. Using a high-temperature sealant or fire cement is essential to create a gas-tight seal. The metal flaps must be firmly screwed into the existing brickwork to prevent any potential movement or detachment during operation.
Regular maintenance is also crucial. For solid fuel installations, it is recommended that you arrange for chimney sweeps at least twice a year. This routine maintenance not only prevents buildup of soot and combustion by-products but also helps in early detection of potential issues, ensuring that your home remains safe and energy efficient.
Addressing Common Concerns
Is this gather hood compatible with all types of heating appliances?
Yes, the London Gather Hood is versatile enough to be used with a variety of fuel types including wood (with less than 20% moisture), smokeless coal, gas, and oil. The design has been carefully engineered to adhere to the highest industry standards, making it a reliable choice for various heating applications.
What if I am not confident about installing it myself?
Professional installation is highly recommended. Our gather hood is designed to be fitted within the masonry chimney, a process that must comply with specific building regulations. Hiring a qualified installer ensures not only safety and compliance but also the optimal performance of your chimney system.
How will this product improve my heating efficiency?
By providing a larger gas flow area, this gather hood ensures that combustion gases are expelled more efficiently. This not only enhances the overall performance of your chimney system but also contributes to a cleaner and healthier environment inside your home.
Are there any additional accessories I might need?
Depending on your specific installation setup, you might need high-temperature sealant, fire cement, or ceramic rope to ensure a gas-tight seal. It could be beneficial to explore our range of installation accessories, which are designed to complement the London Gather Hood for a fool-proof installation.
