Discuss Vertical condenser flue in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
Why do you ask ?
Just google it and compare would be my advice.
Are you talking about a flue or Plume kit ? a proper V/Flue will have a terminal on top can you put up a photo of what's been done
Will get a photo in a couple of days, of my Dads. Is an oil boiler.
As it it an oil condensing boiler your dad now has, and if the vertical flue is proper flue kit for that boiler, - then it will not have a rain cap and does not require it.
It allows the plume to go higher to disperse better.
Rainwater will just go out the condense discharge and can’t damage the boiler.
Some universal flues (non balanced) can be used and are an exception because they can have rain caps, but tend to direct the plume downwards.
None of this information on oil flues is safety related, so I see no reason on it being withheld.
Just make sure any work on a flue to be installed or altered, is done by the relevant oil or gas qualified person.
Universal flue? Are you sure, I've never heard of a universal flue.
Vertical flues with no terminal? I must be miss-understanding. This sounds like madness. What about rain water going down the air intake? What about manafacturers instructions? What about regs? What about safety? What about combustion? What about leaving it alone and getting a properly qualified person in?
What I ment was google a picture of the relevant flue as some people think it should look like a Chinese hatgoogle what?
