Central heating flue

[juliesy]

Advice needed please.
We are renewing our gas boiler (after 25 years) and need to know if we can use the old steel lined flue.
Thanks
Julie.

dont think its that easy, have you discussed this boiler with a plumber yet ?

It's highly unlikely as the seal between the boiler and flue needs to match exactly. Also your old boiler will probably be a balanced flue whereas the new boiler will have a fan in it. Basically don't even risk it. The new boiler will be designed to work with it's own flue.

Thank you both, we needed confirmation.
