Horizontal flue in ceiling void

[Zirconium]

The long horizontal flue (serving a condensing boiler} is leaking where it is attached to the external extension which goes through the external wall. Any suggestions about how this join can be fixed? Is it a question of squeezing sealant in the gap where the external pipe enters the internal pipe? If so what sealant should I use?

A well fitted flue from a condensing boiler with the correct gradient rise shouldnt leak,call in a competent GSR engineer to test the boiler with a FGA,sounds like a flue seal was damaged on installation.THIS is a safety issue get it sorted immediately.

No, the flue needs to be dismantled to see where it is leaking from and may need replacing. This needs to be done by a registered gas engineer. Until the flue has been checked/repaired do not use the boiler as it could be leaking products of combustion into the property.

Thats the second best decision you've made today my friend put a post here [DLMURL="http://www.ukplumbersforums.co.uk/im-looking-plumber-gas-engineer/"]I'm looking for a Plumber or Gas Engineer[/DLMURL]

Products of combustion include;-

Carbon monoxide
Carbon dioxide
Nitrous oxides

All will kill u pretty quickly

Turn boiler off and get a gas safe engineer urgently!

Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Water vapour, Formaldehyde's.

I don't hear about many people laughing them selves to death through inhaling products of combustion, its normally an evil headache, aches and pains before the heart failure.
