flue liner in plasterboard boxing

[ecogas]

Hi,

i went out to look at a job and found gas fire fitted with a flue liner which runs in 12" x 12 " plasterboard boxing, ive only ever fit fires to brick chimneys or pre cast flues/ balanced flues, Just need advice on regs to confirm the installation is ID, as the boxing would have a wood frame and the flue liner should be a certain distance away from combustible materials, Any aadvice on this would be appreciated,

Regards

Fairly sure flue liner is only for lining a chimney. Your installation should have been twin wall.

I stand to be corrected tho

do you mean a twin wall flue liner is OK in this set up???

anywhere I could get this info from

No he means twin wall as in...insulation between inner and outer lining . Flue liner is only for use in a brick chimney, where there is no chance of touching, either by combustible materials or skin. Think it's in Doc J flue liners only within brick chimney.

With rain wall do you have to have inspection panels at joints?

if it is single wall flue liner it needs shutting down, wrong material for job.
