Morse Squirrel Flue Pipe

[Kristian]

Most chandlers are wanting over 40 pounds for a 4.5inch flue, Ive got a local supplier who has 4inch steel pipe for 20 pounds, is half an inch going to matter??

Thanks Kristian..

It's the external diameter that's going to be important. I'd think the critical bit would be the fit on the stove collar,

 

However, a google on Morso squirrel gives internal flue outlet diameter of 134mm (5.27") for both the squirrel 1312 and 1440, and the minimum internal flue diameter as 125mm (4.9") for the 1412 and 150mm (5.9") for the 1440. Even 4.5" seems a bit on the small side!

 

I'd do some measurements of stove collar and the available flue pipes!

I'd agree that you'd not be able to directly fit a smaller flue pipe - sealing would be nigh impossible. A reducing adaptor should be available - Google 'flue adaptor'. But also, have you got a suitable sized roof collar? And by the time you've paid for that, the price difference shouldn't be too great, especially if you shop around for the correct size flue, elsewhere than a chandlers!
