Asbestos in modern flues...

[Yorkshirepuddin1]

Hi folks. Can any one offer some help /reassurance? The aluminium flue (pictured) contains some yellowy material that looks like rockwool but the other piece has white stuff which I'm a bit worried about. Please have a look and tell me what you think. Many thanks.

Can you post pics of the full lengths ? The yellow one would have been white originally but flue gasses have been leaking into it. Is it off an adjustable length

Hi mate. I'm not sure. I can get more pics of it tomorrow and post again. Panicking a bit.

Insulation is usually glass fibre type and not harmful , unless you eat it .

Are there any brand marks on it, I know Selkirk has never used asbestos. Is this a flue youve taken down or bought second hand to reuse?

No worries. This is second hand flue. Shiny aluminium and looks modern but the stuff within the twin wall I'm not so sure about
