Hi all
My CH/HW Worcester combi has an SFL (Selkirk) IL flue system fitted thus:
Boiler -> vertical flue connector -> 450mm of vertical 125mm flue pipe -> 120 degree bend -> connecting flue pipe into liner installed in existing chimney.
The first vertical SFL IL pipe's outer insulating wall has corroded through in one small section (2" dia) so I need to replace the section of pipe.
My question is how do I remove the flue pipe?
I know it's a push & twist type fit so I thought I could just untwist it but it won't budge. Even with a boa constrictor it won't move and all I've succeeded in doing is squashing another bit of the insulating wall!
Does anyone know the best way to go about this?
Pete
