We're fitting an oil fired combi (worcester greenstar heatslave 12/18) into a smallish single storey stone building. There is nowhere suitable for a horizontal flue terminal so we are considering a vertical RS flue. We have a redundant chimney stack and would ideally like to route the flue up the chimney. The chimney runs down a corner of the building with a brick breast and stone lintel.
We have platform access to the top of the chimney and access at ceiling level from inside. Ideally we'd route down the chimney to ceiling level then out at 45degrees into the room then vertically down the wall to the boiler. The total run is about 4metres (worcester spec 6m max so presumably it's a fanned flue?)
To get to the question, first off is this a good idea? and secondly how workable are the worcester 80/125 RS flue components. Will I be able to cut them to length and join them up in confined spaces? Any advice appreciated.
