sealing fridge flue

[james_stan]

Hi All

Final stages of fitting an RM122 and I was wondering about sealing the flue pipes
from the 'lazy-t' to the outside. Given that the T is open one end, is it necessary
to seal the pipe joints ? The flame of course is also open to the air so I'm guessing the
principle is to 'catch and exhaust as much as possible ..'

Any other views ?

Cheers

I've never fitted one, but isn't the idea of a flue to draw the gases out? I'd seal it

You you might think so but the fitting instructions only call for sealant on the exterior flange
to bodywork face. Also the so-called lazy T is completely open to air on the down side this
presumably to create an updraft somehow.

Next purchase will be a CO alarm/monitor I think !
