Hi Can anyone help with this please? Does BS8511 apply to the installation of cooking ranges such as Rayburns? If so, this would seem to imply a chimney requirement of over 3 feet due to the height of the range. Any ideas?

I have managed to come up with a plan that has rads on the same side as the sf stove (I have decided not to include the calorifier in the gravity system). The only problem is that the stove will be at the front of the boat, so the pipes will run backwards rather than forwards (2-3 rads , furthest being about 30ft from stove). Will this still work?

Thanks Tony. Do you mean that the stove, calorifiers and all the radiators have to be on the same side of the boat?

Hi We are having a boat built later this year and want to have a lowered well deck, at the same height as the internal floor, so that it becomes an extension of the indoor living space (gas will be in stern locker, water tank in bow locker). I am thinking that this means the deck will be below the waterline, and am wondering about drainage of rain and other water. Does anybody have any ideas please? Thanks for your help.

Hi We are having a boat built later this year, and want a sf stove with back boiler to run 2-3 radiators and for hot water. I have seen references to 'gravity fed' systems, but am wondering how this works (boats are quite flat!). Are there limitations to how well this works - eg length of pipe runs, positioning of rads/calorifier etc? (Boat will be 62'). Do people use other (pumped?) systems with sf back boilers, and what are the advantages and disadvantages? Thanks for your help.
