Logic plus roof terminal

[mutley racers]

I need to fit a boiler in a pitched roof house extension which I have not done before. As it is pitched I might need an extra length of pipe. Is it the same extension piece for ordinary flue as a roof terminal? And as the joint might be in the void from ceiling to tiles, I guess I need to cut in an access hatch?

 

[gasmanrob]

Yes it's the same flue as horizontal extension.
yes you will need an access as you will need to clamp the flue and screw the joint

 

[stevetheplumber]

i usually try to fit flue then match boiler to it often difficult to get straight through ceiling joist and rafters often easier to put 45s in to allow movement

 

[GasmanxxxR1]

Yeah allow 45s on the flue for joists etc right where you want to go. Obviously you will need access to the roof void to install the flue

 

[mutley racers]

When I meant an access I was meaning as a flue in the void. I have a roofer taking the slates off so I can access The joint and clip from there

 

[gasmanrob]

If you have access to work on it you'll have access to inspect it also don't forget co detector

 

[mutley racers]

this co detector do I need to put in the void and link it to the boiler to cut it off if it ever goes off

 

[mutley racers]

Or do I just need to put in a normal co alarm in the void as well as access panel

 

[mutley racers]

Also, where do you guys buy your access panels from

 

[mutley racers]

Anyone know of a good place to buy the above?

 

[mutley racers]

Also, when you buy the terminal kit, is it a 1 metre flue and then the roof terminal bit? Sorry for the daft questions but not fitted one on my own before

If you've got inspection hatches and can inspect the whole flue, I don't think you have to have a CO alarm.

You've got the terminal that goes above the roof and then the flue which goes in the roof space, which you can cut, join on to, etc.

I thought that since the updated version of tb008 in 2013 it was not enough to only have inspection hatches?

Also, do you know where to buy inspection hatches

 

[anz]

No, inspection hatches are the preferred method.

But if that is not possible, they allow you to use the CO alarms.


I can't help you with the inspection hatches, I've always had the joiner do them.

Cheers anz. Much appreciated

Afternoon chaps. Just wondering if anyone on here is close to Croydon and wants a days work on Saturday helping out on the above install. So basically helping me put in a vertical Flue in a pitched roof extension. It will most probably need a join in the void and so an access panel putting in. As I have never done this I would like help on the job. I have a roofer coming so the roof work involved.

Cheers chaps

 

[mutley racers]

Anyone up for a days work then chaps?

if you know a chippy ask him/her to fit a access pannel/ loft hatch.

I thought it was good to just fit a access panel 300×300. do I need a loft hatch? There is hardly any space up there. About 3/4 of a metre I guess

 

[mutley racers]

When installing a roof terminal, do you buy the slate from the manufacturer or one from a builders yard

 

[quality]

The ideal vertical kit comes with a lead flashing / collar for the roof penetration

I just got one and it was seperator. I would get the Ideal one, seems good quality

I just bought it all from Williams and co and there was no kit. Had to buy it all separately. Do you get a metre of flue plus the terminal then

 

[mutley racers]

I see anz has said it comes with a length of flue. Shame as I ordered 2 extra lengths

Can someone explain to me how this cutting measurement works? So I have a flue that is too long, where do I take the measurements from to cut? Sorry if I am being dumb. I just can't make sense of it

Ah ha, I think I have got it now. This means if I want to slot a piece in to the middle where the X is marked. Am I correct

 

[stevetheplumber]

yes dont forget to add the 100mm on
