Hi,
20230221_154733.jpg

We have 28 year old Valiant Combi Boiler in our Bungalow airing cupboard, where the vertical fan flue goes up into roof.

As you can see in photo, we need a firestop plate,
A) for fire safety
B) Hopefully seal around pipe may stop warm air travelling through gap into roof space, and causing condensation, although not sure how hot that pipe gets to be honest

Tried Google search, but wasn't made any wiser I guess I need something which fits to the ceiling which I can put around the pipe in 2 halves.

Please could someone point me in right direction, as to what I need to order and roughly how its fitted.


Thanks
 
 
Thanks mate, so I basically need something similar to this which will fit my flue pipe, or are they all standard diameter?
 
Should be stnd that one fits 100mm od dia
