Chris T Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 Hello, I'm looking for someone to fit a new collar which has cracked where the flue meets the stove top. Had someone look at it who said it could be replaced in one of two ways, but they have never got back to me. Can anyone suggest someone who could do this, we are in the upper Macc? In view of the CO2 risks I'd rather leave this to someone who knows what they are doing. Thanks for any suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It realy is the simplest of jobs and very easy to seal with modern stuff like Envirograf for instance. Your problem may be if the flue is seized at the deckhead. How old is the flue? They dont last forever and if twer me I would buy flue and collar from Limekiln and fit new. You may have to put a bend in the pipe but thats cheap to do as many places will cut and weld for not much money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris T Posted September 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 Hello, it's a Becton B5MUG 4.5kW. I only know that the flue is at least 4 years old as that's how long we've had the boat. The stove isn't used that often as we don't live on board so no idea if it will be seized (probably!).

Machpoint005 Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) Don't worry about CO2 escaping - it's carbon monoxide (CO) that is the silent killer. There will definitely be CO2 and quite likely some CO too going up the flue. Edited September 4, 2020 by Machpoint005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't believe the number of times I've corrected various folk at a large machinery outlet about that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
