Potterton performa flue

[solutions]

Came across this

Need to know if Potter ton performs flute parts can still be had or if modern high efficiency potterton/baxi flutes are compatible/interchangeable. Have shut Boiler off its not leaking co but it's producing stupidly high Parts per million. The roof terminal looks like it has blown over in the wind as is way off true and I can see the black of the flue is not sitting down on the slate so rain water has been tracking down the outside of the flue. It has no proper support at all so suspect the high readings are because the inner flue has seperated at a joint.
Any pointers as to sourcing replacement flue parts would be greatfully received.

No one with any pointers?

Guess Sunday is a no one on the forum day.

new boiler and start again

new boiler and start again

Is that genuinely the only option?
I will happily quote to fit new but had hoped flue was still available.

Thanks for piping up though guys, was starting to think I was alone in here today.........

Echo echo echo......

It's baxi stuff so all the Multi fit flues should fit it I would think !!

tbh the only way you will know is ring baxi/pot up

Is the boiler a condenser? If not the multi fit won't be right.

As Shaun said only way to know is phone them.

No it's non condensing. The last of the non he models they made I think.

I once saw a an old performa with a he flue on it....it melted the plastic inside the roof terminal! Some people are rough! Your best bet is probably eBay mate.

The HE flues will definitely not fit ,they have a plastic inner and will melt,however flue components are still available for standard efficiency versions

The inner flue clamps tend to rust and snap, causing high FGA readings. Check them, new clamp is only a couple quid

+1 seen them do this before clamp part number is 247751

did you whip off the cover to see if the fan connection was actually ok still? replaced quite a few of these over my short tenure on the job.

Your not wrong there moogwai. The original flue install is criminal. Good to know the he flutes are out of the question. Makes sense given the plastic exhaust not getting on with the higher temps of a non he Boiler exhaust.
Thanks for your post.
