    Maybe I haven't explained how this is properly.
    The house is double storey at the front. The heater is to go in the lower rumpus area in the lower part of the house. The flu will go up the wall maybe 6ft and then do a turn and go through the brick wall and outside then do another turn and go up the exterior wall and end above the roof line.
    Heres the house. To the left of the pic is the room down the bottom where I want to put the heater.

    Heres the room. Its going against the far wall, just to the left of the grey couch. So the flu will go through this brick wall and go up the outside. If you get what I mean...

    So the only section of the flu that will be inside the house is the first part from the heater to the section where it goes out through the wall.

    Winnie is on it, emissions, as I said up to you if you are willing to take the risk.

    Nice size man cave , I will see if I can find the relevant code info but in Victoriastan if it's not built in I'm sure it has to be triple skin , which includes every part of the flue that can be touched right up to the top .

    Yep understood that, still easier to go straight up if there is nothing in the way upstairs

    Not correct mate, single skin until you hit a penetration triple through that then single through upstairs room then when you hit the ceiling triples again, if it's outside then when you hit the wall you will need a 45deg drop box and triples from there all the way

    The way I see it, is why do something that's not to code when you're getting pinged for other things that were done by the previous owner that weren't up to code. Makes no sense.

    This is the installation of one brand of heater but the details might be relevant including the various codes , interesting to note that individual councils may have stricter rules and more requirements.

    Must depend a lot on local council rules .
