FAQs

What is the maximum length this flue can extend?

The telescopic flue can extend up to 1000mm.

Does this kit include everything needed for a horizontal flue extension?

This kit includes a 1000mm telescopic flue, a 90-degree bend, and a multi-directional exhaust nozzle. Always refer to your appliance manual to confirm if additional components or sealants are required.

Can this flue be used for vertical installations?

This specific kit is designed for horizontal installations. Please consult the Alpha product range for vertical flue components.

How do I clean the flue pipe?

The flue pipe itself generally does not require cleaning. However, ensure the external terminal is kept clear of obstructions like leaves or nests.

What tools are typically needed for installation?

Installation typically requires basic hand tools. The push-fit design minimizes the need for specialized cutting or joining tools, but a tape measure and possibly a screwdriver for securing components may be necessary.

Is this compatible with non-Alpha boilers?

This flue kit is designed and tested for Alpha appliances. Using it with other brands may compromise safety and performance and is not recommended.

Troubleshooting

Flue sections do not connect securely.

Ensure the push-fit ends are clean and free from debris. Check for any obstructions within the sockets. Verify that you are using compatible Alpha flue components.

Appliance error code related to flue or ventilation.

Double-check all flue connections for tightness and proper sealing. Ensure the telescopic section is extended sufficiently to maintain a secure overlap. Verify the external terminal is not blocked.

Difficulty extending or retracting the telescopic section.

Ensure the section is clean and free from dirt or grit. Gently try to maneuver the sections. If resistance persists, consult the appliance manual or a qualified installer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This flue kit is designed for horizontal installations. Ensure the appliance and existing flue system are turned off and have cooled down completely before starting. Connect the push-fit end to the appliance's flue outlet or an existing flue component. Extend the telescopic section to the required length, ensuring a secure overlap. Connect the 90-degree bend and the multi-directional nozzle as needed to complete the flue run to the exterior wall penetration. Always ensure all connections are secure and sealed according to the appliance manufacturer's instructions.

Compatibility: This flue kit is specifically designed for use with Alpha heating appliances that utilize a 1000mm horizontal flue system. It is crucial to verify compatibility with your specific Alpha boiler model and its installation manual before purchase. Ensure that the diameter and connection type match your existing flue system.

Care: Regular visual inspection of the flue system is recommended. Check for any signs of damage, corrosion, or blockage. Cleaning is typically not required for the flue pipe itself, but ensuring the external terminal and nozzle are free from debris (leaves, nests) is important for proper ventilation.
