Hi, we are installing gas fires on a job, there are existing 7" chimney liners coming from the masonry "ceiling" of the fireplaces, what are regs regarding the connection of the new flue to the existing chimney liners? Is it corgi or building inspector's governance? I've consulted a few...
I need to find out what the ventilation requirements are for a New World Merlin (017079) 6.3kw living flame gas fire.
The client thinks they purchased it from B&Q some years ago but do not have a copy of the manual.
Anyone out there with a copy that could confirm the ventilation requirements...
I realise there's another recent post on here about a gas fire going out after a while, but I had the same problem when servicing a fanned flue fire the other day. I was told about the problem before I touched the fire. The fire lights and stays on for about 10 minutes then reduces to low flame...
Hi Guys, just had a call from a customer phone and they have said that there gas fire stays ignited for a few minutes then goes out?

Hi everyone im working on a house where they need to take the chimney down due to a new roof required. However they want to keep the gas fire is there any way round it.
Sometimes it works and sometimes it don't!
My 5 year old gas fire (serviced every year) has suddenly started to act up. Using the sliding lever at the top, moving it all the way down it fires up the gas - never fails to fire up the gas. However, after counting the recommended 10 seconds and...
Going to look at an old Bermuda vp gas fire and was after advice before visiting.
Ignites ok but will not go onto higher flame settings. Was working ok 6 months when I replaced thermocouple and electro magnet. It is the earlier model without oxy-pilot. Just ignites over burner.

Hi Guys, I went to service an LPG gas stove today. I carried out the service to the manufacturers instruction and everything was fine. I put my FGA in the flue outside and the ratio was fine. When i tried to turn off the FGA it wouldnt and kept saying "High Co" the co% was 7.6. The flame picture...
Hi guys, been to a property today where a previous GSR has capped off the fire. The landlord wants a new inset fire fitting so I've been, taken out the old fire and inspected the chimney, which is lined and passed the flue flow test.
I don't do many fires and as a result i think it will...

Hi,
New World Merlin MF 017079.
I have this gas fire, but a gas engineer told me not to use it as I don't have the instruction manual that shows how the ceramic coals should be arranged. Correct arrangement is needed, to avoid faulty combustion & CO. I've looked online to no avail; the...
