Flue bracket regulations

[Joef]

The flue runs up from the boiler into the attic. There are then two 45 degree elbows before the flue runs out to the rroof.The flue runs parallel from the boiler to the bit going out of the roof with an angled bit in-between. Where by regs should the brackets go and how many will be needed?

Usually just before it exits the roof I would fit a bracket and probably one in the middle section

I gather your boiler has been turned off? Can you also post a picture of the flue above the boiler please

 

[Joef]

I only went to look at the flue today .It was serviced and the owners were advised to add brackets to bring it up to regs. Whoever serviced the boiler didn't turn it off and allowed it to run as it has been since it was installed a few years ago.

Are you Gas safe registered?

Naughty service engineer.

I'm not gas safe registered. I went to do a few other jobs at the house and was asked about the flue brackets whilst I was there. I said I'd ask and see exactly what needs doing.

I'd want 3 clips on that. One before each 45 and one as it exits the roof

Thank you. That sounds like solid advice.

Thanks for the confirmation. Three brackets it'll be then.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Every meter and every change of direction so at a min 3 brackets required

 

[Stu-B]

Yup, 3 brackets plus i’d be looking to get same manufacturer as flue. That cheeky strap band stuff ain’t allowed.

Who said that it isn’t?
