Gas fire to fit on an external wall with a bent flue or a long (approx 1metre) flue

[david]

Can anyone help.

We installed a flueless fire that we fitted when we built our house but it really hasn't been what we wanted - it tends to smell (although it has enough room volume) and also not really look right

What we would like to do is put a flued fire in. The only problem is that it has to go across a corner so the flue would either need to come out of the back of the fire with a 45 degree bend and go out of the wall at right angles or alternatively have a straight flue that goes through the wall at 45 degrees and presumably fixes to an external fan at 45 degrees. Another problem would be that the straight flue would need to be about 1 metre long.

Any help greatly appreciated as the wife is whinging!

Thanks

I suggest you start trawling over the specifications for gas fire fires.

A powered flue (needs electric supply of course) or just possibly a balanced flue type would be what you need to look at. The majority of fires won't be suitable. Almost certainly flue extensions will be available for the powered flue type.

In addition to the usual suspects for gas fires (RW, Valor, Baxi, Crosslee) you might take a look at Vulcana. Although they do commercial/ light industrial type units which may be unsuitable.

Thanks Ed - I'll phone round a few suppliers tomorrow and ask if they do power flue extension pipes
