Hello,

My son bought a stove for our workshop but it's just a stove with no pipe or anything else, looking for advice on the fitting side of things please.

I have worked out pretty much almost all of what I need in terms of pipe but need to know if I need joining bands or cement, dampers or cleaning access holes etc.

Also do we have to have twin wall or can we just use normal 5" vitreous pipe?

Thanks

Just for starters....the stove needs to be on a concrete (or similar ) hearth. Sizes are specific to avoid injury or tripping.
I use twin wall stainless, that locks together with a bayonet type system (only turns a few degrees) and no other jointing was required.
A soot chamber is available for your external 45 degree bend and is a good idea.
Go for a stove that draws it's combustion air from outside if possible - or you'll need other ventilation for it.
Support the twin wall as sturdily as possible from as high as practical.
There may be regulations on the type of timber and minerals you can burn......dried hardwood and ovoid coals are the way to go.
I'll not say any more, I presume full regs are available from HETAS or whatever on line, but I'll wish you well with your project!

as my brother is a plumber i used old part radiators to line the alcove about 4-8" from the 4kw hot spot workshop burner with at least 50mm to the wood walls as an air gap
[looks like they dont do workshop stoves any more [https://www.thehotspot.co.uk/product-category/relax-workshop-stoves/]
i hang all my large metal record "G" clamps and heavy duty bar clamps on or around the radiators but far enough away to not effect the paint this gives me lots off metal mass to absorb the heat and stop heat being lost through the wall insulation

my stove sits on 600x600 paving slab
