fishee Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Hello all, anyone used a vitreous flue pipe? Seems to be a commonly used material in houses and is half the price (and weight) of a steel flue. I can't think of any reason it would be unsafe ~ can anyone else? Suggestions and advice please. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaotic River Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 I recently replaced a rotten steel flue pipe with vitreous. I used short stainless steel self tapping screws to secure the sections. The boat passed the BSS exam at the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Have known a few people who have tried this type of flue but I think there was an issue with longevity. It would be better if it was heavier. Part of the problem is the aggressive flue gases produced by a typical NB stove, due in part to the types of fuels burnt Phil Edited September 26, 2017 by Phil Ambrose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
