starman Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Simple question - what’s the external diameter? Need to get the correct size roof collar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frangar Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 I think it’s 4.5 inches. Or at least my Epping copy is. I’m fitting it into a 6 inch collar...using some fire rope to pack the space out together with some high temperature silicone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem is that if I get the stove and flue in the right place in the back cabin then I've got a space between the rear slide and the hand rail that's too tight to accommodate a chimney collar.

Oh that’s a bit of a bugger. I must say the new flue pipe I got from midland swindlers has got much thinner wall that I thought it might have.....I haven’t checked to see how it fits on the stove flue adapter......that’s fridays job.

GRLMK38 Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 The outer diameter of the top of the smoke box is 4.5in, if that helps. The flue fits on the outside and sits just above the rotating damper shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
