About Flues.
CLASS 1 . A fire (Gas, Oil or solid fuel) that require a "CLASS 1" flue. By simple
definition this is a flue that would be suitable to burn coal in. The most obvious and
familiar CLASS 1 flues are the brick built chimneys that we see around on most older
houses. CLASS 1 need not necessarily be brick however. Today CLASS 1 flue
system is built in steel, volcanic pumice, as well as the traditional building methods.
Some gas fires require CLASS 1 systems to support them, usually where a large open
fire is envisaged, this because the larger the fire the more air will be transported up
the flue and CLASS 1 flues are normally at least 7" in diameter.
CLASS 2 This type of flue is less robust than a CLASS 1 system and is almost
exclusively the province of the gas market. CLASS 2 flues, again may be built from a
variety of materials, but often are constructed in aluminium. Adding a liner to a
CLASS 1 flue reducing the diameter to 5", normally, will turn it into a CLASS 2. The
smaller diameter and lesser materials, ensure that CLASS 2 flues are used for smaller
"Reduced draught" open gas fires, glass fronted gas fires, and some gas stoves.
