advice on installing wood burner

[bhay]

Hello, I'm a builder I've just built a single story extension on my house and have bought a wood burner for it. I've had a few guys out to look at installing it and twinwall. I've also been told a lot of people fit their own. Is this something any of you would advise using building control to sign it off?
I'm really looking for advise on installing or a good website that I can research regulations etc.
Any help much appreciated
Thanks Barry.

Welcome. It can be done if you are reasonably good with tools, patient, and ok with some roof work and heights. Stay focused on the safety of the installation and your personal safety while working on the roof. There are dozens, if not hundreds of self-installs posted here. Use the search to look for installs.

For learning, a good place to start is with some manufacturer posted installation manuals. DuraVent has some nice guides here:

Northline has an installation video for a straight up installation through a ceiling

TIP: stove pipe (connector) comes in double and single wall. Double-wall keeps the flue gases hotter and has closer (6") clearances than single wall (18"). Chimney pipe (class A) comes in double-wall and triple wall. Triple wall is the bargain variety of chimney. Do you know if you are going straight up or out the wall?

Thanks for the reply, I have read up on clearances to combustible and non combustibles etc it's putting the flue parts together I'm not confident with really, especially stove to stove pipe then twin wall pipe etc. I'm planning on going up 600mm from the stove then 45 to the right to top right ceiling corner the straight up past main roof.
I've attached some pictures, the two block piers are two sides to the chimney which I will finish in studwork.

This will be under different (but hopefully similar) fire code requirements than in the US. Parts and available brands of pipe will likely be different too. For that reason it is best to get regional sources of pipe and their installation requirements.
