boiler

[hammers4spanner]

why is this coming out of the flue for and terminating at lower level with condense??

 

[tamz]

Never seen that before???
I'd give them a ring but it looks like something that has been made up.

 

[hammers4spanner]

nor have i ,
fga readings were fine , gas rated fine and flue was all good
flame picture good
was just that contraption lol

I've seen something similar on commercial linked flues but never on domestic.

 

[Mike Jackson]

Ideal have something similar on there twin flue set up.

 

[hammers4spanner]

whats it supposed to do???

 

[bigman]

it is a vaillant part its to prevent condensation problems on long flue runs on their non condensing boilers

 

[Nostrum]

Is the flue extra long?

 

[Nostrum]

As above^ I should imagine

Usually used if its a long flue run for condesate

 

[jtsplumbing]

Renni do the same on their water heaters , it's to get rid of condense from 'V' flue

 

[hammers4spanner]

i have seen longer flue runs was only two flue extentions

To stop a storm/heavy rain flooding the boiler on a vertical flue?

 

[bigman]

Seem like overkill on a run of that length

 

[hammers4spanner]

like i said seen longer flues without that ,

something new everyday in this game

 

[GrahamM]

Came across this before. The verticle flue was at least 4m long though.

 

[kirkgas]

I've used a few, but it was yrs ago and I cannot remember the make of boiler

I have seen one like that on an old baxi with vert flue pre condensing boiler I think glow worm hideawys have them as well to take flue condensation away
