Hello everyone.
The flue from my glowworm CXi boiler sticks out the side wall of our house in front of the kitchen window. It's around a metre away so isn't a safety issue, but it's a bit annoying all the same as it's directly in the line of sight.
A bit of research suggests that a 'plume kit' could be added to take the plume upwards. My boiler is 15 years old, however, and the pictures I've looked at seem to suggest that my flue pipe might be an older one that cannot have the plume kit fitted to it? Ie, I think mine has a fixed outlet nozzle, whereas newer ones are detachable so the plume kit end can be fitted? Have I got this right?
If so, it probably wouldn't be worth the cost if the whole flue would need replacing too.
Thanks.
