Flexible flue liner

[Backboiler]

are you talking about putting the pot around the terminal?or the terminal on top of the pot? if its around that appliance will cause a fatality think about what your asking

I'm asking because I have no experience of chimneys or terminals apart from flue flow and visual inspections from about 9 metres away. I want to learn and do the job properly using the knowledge of our wonderful resourceful members. That's why we are here, to learn.

you need to use one of the terminal/pot connectors like tamz has linked. the terminal requires a good air flow across/around it so cant be covered over by a pot.

i know on solid fuel installs you can get a connector to fit a standard open pot, but you cant fit a terminal on a solid fuel liner only a bird cage. wether it can be fitted to a gas liner tho i dont know but i thin you need a terminal?

If you put a chimney can over a GC1 it would seriously effect the flue flow.
Terminals are designed to allow full airflow all around. Would you fit a bucket with a hole in it over a fanned flue terminal?

 

[tamz]

You need a GC terminal unless over 7" then you can use other types.

and with the name backboiler........ never fitting a liner before?? 🙂

that was my thought as soon as i read it
backboiler if your going within 6 foot of the liner wear thick gloves or you'll cut your hands to ribbons
to attach the rope we used to punch a hole min 6 inches from the end

It is a brick chimney. Its a grade 2 listed building so the customer asked if the chimney pot can be placed around the terminal after fitting. Is this ok?

thanks all

You can terminate the GC1 terminal at the top of the pot but not inside it? See alternative approved terminals tamz has posted! If that's what you're getting at Backboiler 🙂

That brings back memories 🙂 Easy install though, 9/10 you're swinging the copex around the aerials 🙂

Oh Dear
Reminds me of pulling the liner out of a BBU many years ago.
Unfortunately the flat was part of a house and the tugged liner was for the other flat.
Soot everywhere, it took two days to clean the place.
The tenants were pragmatic but I couldn't have felt more embarrassed, especially as they were so good about it.
Thank goodness for Interflora!
