Installing Worcester plume management kit

[singled5678]

Merry Christmas

Does anyone have any dealings with fitting?

I’m going to have to use a 1 meter extension with the original kit. To get the plume away from a CCTV Cam and Pir.

What I want to know is do you have any tips how to ensure I mark the brackets position correctly? Also what drill bit is required for the plug..

Thanks

Can the cctv & pir be relocated ?

That will be your only diy option

Unfortunately not... I just wanted to raise the plume high

That could be possible,have a chat with with the people that do your periodic gas servicing as there are safety implications.

Good luck,

+1! This is not something you are allowed to do yourself.

Can you direct me to where this is stated?

Presumably a recent installation to have suddenly become an issue.

Contact the installer.

Not familiar with Worcester flue some need dismantling to fit a plume kit. Either way needs doing by someone qualified and testing afterwards.

It’s part of your flue!
Flue installation is covered by bs5440. Requires installer to be competent

Thanks Phill, all the best

It’s common knowledge, and common sense, flue gases are lethal and their management under the remit of a Competent person ie a Gas Safe Registered Engineer.

Yes I just wanted to know the regs to go back to someone, I will contact the installer. Basically the bulb had gone in my security light and I’ve not used it, of course I now fix it and the PIR keeps picking up the plume.

Thanks all

Actually it's the gas safety installation and use regs that make it a criminal offence to work on a flue system for reward unless you are a registered installer. For DIY work for yourself you merely have to be competent, which would mean understanding exactly what can go wrong and how to avoid it, and being able to do the appropriate testing after, as well as reference to the manufacturer's installation instructions. If you're not competent, again it's a criminal offence.

PIR keeps picking up the plume.

It might be less trouble to move or mask the PIR.
