Plume management kits.

[andsam]

Which manufacturers have the plume management kits? I know Glowworm do but is there more.

 

[chrishutt]

Also Vaillant (who own Glow Worm). Otherwise there are boilers that have twin pipe flues/air intakes that can be run and terminated in a flexible way - effectively the same as a plume management kit - most obviously Keston but probably many more.

Halstead but they're very expensive, Worcs were due January so should be with us soon...

Last we heard about Worcester was that they are due out the end of this month.

Keston ....dont go there

Why? What's wrong with Keston (apart from crappy suppport bracket, noisy ignition, feeble condensate trap, leaky flue pipe, etc.)?

 

[gazthepottertonengineer]

Baxi and Potterton have just bought out kits for all there condensing boilers

 

[ChrisR]

TFFT! Do they fit the existing flues Gaz?

Leaky pump valves, leaky aav, and the leaks.
At least the isolating valves don't leak, when they don't provide any...

And you can't fault their expansion vessels, pressure gauges and PRVs!

But I'm actually rather fond of them, despite their faults. I suppose it's because they're a bit idiosyncratic, like me.

A word of warning from an installer, if you have to call out Keston service engineers (which you will trust me) then make sure the customer dosnt miss the appointment, mine did & Keston kindly sent me a bill for £82-25 call out charge, so i sent them an invoice for the several in warrenty visits i made to repair there crappy boilers.
Up until about a year ago Keston boilers wernt to bad, but recently i have has a lot of problems with faulty ignition & very noisy burners, i will not be installing any more despite the flexibe flue system.

PS. if your reading this Keston then start looking after the installers, no installers = no Keston

Rant over!!!!!
