Is this flue safe?

[Subby]

This is a flue I have come across today whilst doing my first landlord certificate. It is on a Worcester 24i RSF-L.


There was duct tape on the join in the flue;and the flue elbow connected to the boiler with a jubilee clip and there were no screws.
I removed the tape and tested the flue gas which was fine (incoming was 20.9 O2 and exhaust was 11PPM CO and ratio 0.0002). I put a self drilling screw in the join where the flue and extension met and put the foil tape around (as it was taped before). I tested the room CO which was 0 and fitted a CO alarm to the ceiling.
I isolated the boiler and said I would be back in the morning.
Is this flue correct?

The flue joint where elbow meets turret is standard with big jubilee clip although would like see it pushed down a bit with at least on self tapper securing.
The tapped up joint is obviously a no no!

Is the taped up joint butted together or the silver flue pushed inside thew white flue
Weren't older worcester flues screwed then taped

I think he's taped over the original worcester black tape.

I fitted a potterton gold today and they supply tape to go round elbow/flue

I ripped off the original Worcester black tape to check the joint then taped it back up with foil tape.
The silver part of flue was slotted inside the yellow part of the flue.

This is a standard RSF flue joint then.
