Incorrect falls on flue classification

[gmac]

Incorrectly clipped is AR without looking at incorrect falls.

I thought no clips was ar, clipped but incorrectly and flue sound and no signs of spillage was NSC,

On one of the apartment blocks they came back saying it was passed last year by someone else and looking a reassessment and to classify it as NSC as they spoke to other engineers who were willing to issue cert stating flue NSC, when I refused they refused to pay and proceeded to get it signed off by someone else,

Another question, should I be reporting this to the hse??

Yes definitely if the HSE and tech bulletin 008 and 001 were no followed.

Down to your Engineering judgment in conjunction with MI's.
In general I would be looking for flue to be supported at every joint along its length.
If you believe flue is inadequately supported and at risk of moving and dislodging a joint then its AR.
If has some support and you deem it secure enough then NCS.

Wgen you say every joint, would you put a clip either side of the joint then if you know what I mean?

No just one clip on boiler side of joint. Also use pan head self tappers to fix flue pipes together

debatable if you should screw flues that dont come with screws as your now modifying the flue from manufacturers design

Baxi and valliant mostly .i would rather be in a court defending using screws apposed to a few dead people. Positive fix.

That makes sense
