Mazona 5" Chimney Closure/Register Plate Kit 950mm x 400mm

Product Information

I never thought to ask the installer to do this because I was new to inserts at the time it was put in. (Though not new to wood heat in general, having grown up with a wood stove as our sole source of heat.) A closure plate does not need an access hatch for sweeping as the chimney can be swept either via the stove or through a removable sweeping plate on the stove pipe. I would recommend that you first have the flue swept, then a capping cowl is fitted to the terminal/pot, which would allow the flue to breathe but prevent water ingress and birds from entering the flue.

Repeat this step along the line representing measurement #2 (fireplace rear, in the example, 16” from front of sheet metal and then 14” and 15” on each side.) Because the stove is directly connected to the flexible flue liner, the closure plate isn’t required to be sealed in the same way as a register plate. inch Deluxe Terra-Cotta Top Plates, 7.5 inch Deluxe Terra-Cotta Top Plates, 7.5 inch Deluxe Terra-Cotta (1)

Sealing a Chimney Causes More Problems Than it Solves.

Note also extra inspection hatches also aid fitting and inspection (only possible on larger closure plates and no good if adding insulating beads, ( insulating a liner I do not advise as a rule). Before the closure plate design commences I usually connect my “adaptor” to the bottom of the chimney liner (adaptors can have differing lengths of nose and have two methods of attaching to the liner – bolts or self tappers). If using self tappers they will pass through the liner and both walls of the adaptor (choose a length so they only protrude a few mm into the inside surface of the adaptor). Better still buy our adaptor with captive wing nuts. Martin Lewis: Do you have a Power of Attorney? It’s crucial protection – not just for the elderly – and more important than a will So I cant say I'm too happy with his solution. Problem is he tells me "Thats how everyone does it""Its the industry standard". Before we go any further let’s first make sure we understand the difference between a closure plate and a register plate (both seal off the chimney from the room and are the ceiling above your recess).

Position your stove on the hearth and plan your steel vitreous flue configuration. This may just be one piece of pipe or it may be more complicated. Measuring from this center line and on the line 1” in from the front, mark at 1/2 the measurement #1 in both directions (in the example, we would use 18” from each side of the line. Then make another mark at 1” past that line (or 19” from the center line). Hi everyone. There are a few threads on here about chimney balloons but I wanted some advice on an alternative. Open and close the door on a cheap Chinese stove. Then open and close the door on a DG stove, Arada stoves, Woodford stoves, Hamlet stoves or Saltfire stoves. You’ll understand the difference. If a 904 316 chimney liner is being fitted then a register plate is not required. A plate is still required (to prevent heat being wasted by travelling up into the chimney and also to prevent "old soot smells" into the room as a chimney warms from the heat of the liner) but this plate is called a closure plate which we will come to shortly. It is rare nowadays that chimney liners are not fitted (although stove flue pipes might be connected directly to pot lined chimneys) and register plates are rarely fitted nowadays.When you cut out your hole you can afford to have it a reasonable size. As long as it is smaller than the square and there is material left for the four screw holes to work then all is good. This is an inflatable plastic bag that is inserted into the chimney just high enough to be out of sight, then inflated. The chimney balloon has a small hole to allow ventilation but not large enough to lose much heat. If you ever decide to reuse the fireplace for a real fire, simply deflate the balloon and the chimney is open again. Example: 36” measurement, we would need a piece of metal at least 38” long and we would mark the center at 18” on the front line 1” in from the edge).

In either instance of a fireplace balloon or a glass door, you’ll have to measure your fireplace! The DIY Route Choco - here is the simple answer. It is almost impossible to correctly seal most insert panels to the fireplace front. A lot of air can get through them - this works both ways.....hurts the draft when stove is being used, and can leak cold air into the home when it is not in use.

The plate should be sealed around the edges of the stove pipe and have an access hate to enable the chimney to be swept. Same fireplace (middle). Hearth down first. And now you can see the first three 12mm cement-boards. I put the rear sheet in first (cut using angle grinder although a circular saw or jigsaw with a concrete cutting blade will do). On the rear sheet I ensure the factory cut edge is at the bottom.. If your adaptor/vitreous combination is slid up the chimney out the way the rest of the job is easy. If cowl already fitted and you cannot get to chimney pot jump to next section.
