Thanks to all for the input re my question about repositioning my floor-
standing Thorn M54 boiler. Where the boiler was previously positioned, it had a straight, vertical flue going up into the old chimney. (The boiler was standing in what used to be the old kitchen fireplace.) The flue is about 5 ft long, and made of asbestos or possibly cement & fibre. I now need a flue that goes vertically up for about 3 ft and then does a 90-degree bend and goes out through the house's cavity wall. Where can I obtain a cheapish flue components that would be suitable? I think all I need is a straight piece of 4" diameter tube, plus a right- angle bend, and a simple flue-terminating ghizmo for the outside of the house. Regarding the straight sections, I guess I could use the old flue, cut into two sections (wearing a face mask in case it's asbestos). Having said that, the flue will be fully visible in my kitchen so something a bit nicer-looking might be prefereable if I can do it without pawning the family jewels. Thanks, Al |
