Chimney Vent
Flue Vents for Gas Fires, Wood Burners & Boilers
Flue vents are a critical component in any active heating system — designed to safely disperse combustion gases, regulate airflow, and maintain efficiency. Whether you’re installing a wood burner, upgrading a gas fire, or replacing an existing terminal, choosing the correct flue vent ensures compliance, safety, and long-term performance.
What is a Flue Vent?
A flue vent is fitted to the top of a working flue system to allow harmful gases — including carbon monoxide — to safely exit your property. It also helps regulate draw, improve combustion efficiency, and prevent issues such as smoke blowback or poor burning performance.
Why It Matters
Incorrect or missing flue ventilation can lead to dangerous gas build-up, inefficient burning, and failure to meet UK Building Regulations. A properly fitted flue vent supports safe operation and helps meet requirements under Approved Document J and BS 5440.
Choose the Right Flue Vent
Selecting the correct flue vent depends on your appliance type, flue size, and installation setup. Below are the key factors to consider when choosing a flue vent for your system:
Flue vents are sized to match your flue system — common diameters include 125mm, 150mm, 175mm and 185mm. Always match the vent to your flue to ensure proper airflow and performance.
Stainless steel flue vents are ideal for longevity and resistance to corrosion, particularly in exposed locations. Galvanised options offer a cost-effective alternative for standard installations.
Choose based on your appliance — wood burners, gas fires, and boilers all have different ventilation requirements. Some flue vents are designed specifically for anti-downdraught performance in exposed or windy areas.

Installation & Best Practice
Flue vents should always be installed in accordance with manufacturer guidelines and UK regulations. For gas appliances, compliance with BS 5440 is essential, while solid fuel systems must follow Approved Document J. If unsure, always consult a qualified installer such as a HETAS engineer.
