Re: new build in werribee

Oasiscdm,
I understand now. I "think" the reason that it is not common is related to the depth of the entry. I think that a an eight" single wall sits on a 12" anchor plate. I'm not sure if the double walled would also. This is above my pay grade so maybe someone else will chime in.

Did it come with an anchor plate?

Colin,

I used an anchor plate(aka spigot) which sits on top of my arch by way of a square transition section.from there the rest sits on top. Have a look at my build thread and I can post more pics if required.

Re: new build in werribee

In the end I didn't use an anchor plate. In constructing the outer brickwork on top of the entrance arch for the chimney/flue, I shaped the inside of the bricks to create a round cross-section to hold the stainless flue. This worked well as there is three bricks high, and it is mortared in as well. Doesn't move, and seems to draw and work well.

Cheers

Thanks to all

Yeah Gulf I guess that's why I cant find much. most plates are 12" when I have have made enquiries. but must be a way and someone must have tried. Even a single brick landing with a half brick face added to the front plus the inner arch. will give me [230 + 115 + 75] 420mm in depth so I guess I could get a 400 mm plate made up allowing for the double skin.

I haven't purchased anything as yet just doing my due diligence.

Yes I tried looking at what you are doing but the double flue inner and outer makes it just a tad different. yes and more pictures are always welcomed.

Craig, I might have to go down that route but I know a metal fabricator so I can get a plate made up to accept the 2 flues. I also want to be able to remove them easily if necessary. You know just in case.

Re: new build in werribee

Hi all who commented on the last discussion point re double skinned flues.

I think I have solved the problem I will get 2 chimney plates 1 for 10" and 1 for 8" and insert one into the other. Cut down the square portion of the 8" then get this welded together then surround with Brick work for support up too 3 courses high similar to Craig [boomers wfo] and others.

So do you think this sounds feasible?

Re: new build in werribee

Colin,
Last year I ran across some double wall SS pipe at a salvage store. They did not have a base plate but did have a chimney cap. The chimney cap was made to receive the 8" interior and 10" exterior pipes. I'm thinking that there is probably a base plate out there. Might take a little more searching.

Colin,

I used Selkirt double wall SS chimney pipe very similar to the Duravent that the FB people sell. Do a google on Selkirt or metalbestos. I found mine at a surplus store for cheap but be warned double wall ss is very spendy.

Re: new build in werribee

Thanks gulf and Russell.

Russell is it selkirt or Selkirk

Will do some more research. Love your finished product Russell that is so pretty

Re: new build in werribee

Selkirk ultra temp is double wall ss. Metalbestos is the same thing, predecessor I think. I would think one of your down under fireplace stores would have something similar.

Russell

Well searched and searched here in Australia. Although I think your flue is the bees knees. I CANNOT FIND IT OVER HERE. Apparently the distributor does everything except the Selkirk flue . So unless I import one form uk or states its a no go.

That flue is so sexy on your oven. I want one I'll keep looking.

Re: new build in werribee

Colin,
Know any local fabricators good with stainless.....maybe not exactly for that but something along the lines?

[oasiscdm]

Re: new build in werribee

Hi Damon/Russell

Yeah I know someone that could, but what Russell has used, they are so sexy, it could be worth importing one. One chimney plate, 1 m flue and a cowl.

I have found them in the UK. Will check States out.

But you have to admit it looks really good. Compared to what I have seen to date in Melbourne.

You are covering yours aren't you?

Russell - is the cowl and plate stainless steel on yours?

Re: new build in werribee

About three years ago I built an oven that sat just under the eaves of a house and I used a double flue as it went through the roof.
You do need to extend the flue pipe 600 mm higher than the roof. Double cowls are available to fit an inner and outer flue pipe. I used a stainless steel inner pipe and had the other one made by a local sheet metal shop from colour bond in the same colour as the facia and gutter. Colour bond is cheaper than stainless and as it doesn't get particularly hot is not warranted IMO. You also need a Decktight seal at the top. There are two types. Black for lower temp and orange for high temp if using over a single flue pipe, use the orange one, but if over the outer pipe the black one is sufficient. Hope this helps.

Re: new build in werribee

Anchor plate and cap are also SS.
