Evening all,
How do you deal with unaccessable flue test points.
Normally I'll just test from outside but I looked at a boiler with a plume kit fitted.
The boiler was in a kitchen cupboard with a side exit flue which meant that i couldn't get the probe in the test point.
I've looked on Kanes web site but couldn't see any sort of short probe.
Is there an acceptable way of improvising?
 
I use a piece of hose one side slightly split in the middle to make a cone shape for easy entry in to a flue. Use the other end to stick my probe in.
 
If you have water U gauge with rubber hose of decent length then cut
off 8 or 9 inches and push over end of probe.

Put into test point and pack around with a bit of tissue to exclude air.

Also use this method on Isar and Icos boilers except push over test
point.
 
Thanks fellas,
I'll use a length of rubber hose
I'm going to see if i can get my hands on a short length of 6mm pipe then at least i can use the cone from my probe to sit in the test point
 
if its threaded use a flexi kane make a flexiable probe
