Both flue and air held together with cooking grease.

Spent the first hour cleaning!

We’re they Smokers aswell ?
 
Looks a bit damaged to me o_O

Both air and flue cracked in the centre of all 4 sides. Residents complaining of headaches...co escaping.

The closest flue brackets (unistrut/threaded rod), only had 1 screw holding it up. The screw and plug where half out, clips/pipes all wonky.

Can see any other reason for the spigot breaks apart from the weight of the unsupported flue/air.

Crappy ex council install.
 
Evening mate. Have you sent either me, @ShaunCorbs or @Riley your gas safe details over?


Hey buddy. Sent to Lou recently, still awaiting confirmation.

I’ll send you a copy now.

Cheers

As CBW1982 flue connector spigots look broken! If so I.D. it & replace them.

Another firm ID it, I went to fix.

Both broke, one of the pics is me lifting the spigot while the bolts are still done up on the boiler.

Cracked all the way through.

Renewed spigot, some flue/air, clips, full service, grease clean, additional access panel for inspection in ceiling.

Hi all. Hope you have all been keeping well. A while back I decided I only wanted to fit one brand of boiler and decided on Viessmann due to space for servicing and changing parts if ever needing to. I am finding my decision rather hard due to the different clearances on flue runs and cupboards...
