I quite often (way more than I'd like) come across non-compliant installations when performing reactive service work on fireplaces.
This Nectre MK1 in Wyanbene had been leaking smoke and products of combustion between the mis-matched and non-attached flue lengths, resulting in poor heater performance, spillage into the living area and what appears to be a number of flue fires.
The only saving grace in this installation, was that the majority of the flue was on the outside of the roof cavity.
Not to mention, the minimum clearance from the combustible wall and external fascia also required re-setting.
The result, new flue kit installation supplied by AllFlames Canberra.
