Connecting Flue Pipe - Clearances
Single wall connecting fluepipes can reach extremely 
high temperatures; therefore, clearances from the con-
necting fluepipe (chimney connector) must comply with 
the requirements of Part J of Building Regulations 2000 
(Combustion Appliances and Fuel Storage Systems). 
This can be achieved by following the recommenda-
tions of Approved Document ‘J’. These are as shown in 
Figure 12.
