Hi,
I have just installed a flexible flue liner down to a register plate but before I connect the multi fuel boiler to it what is the correct way to seal the SS liner to my register plate adaptor?
The adaptor has double wall between which the SS liner is inserted and a large square plate used to attach it to the underside of the register plate. 3 self tapping screws hold the liner in place. I've tried to seal the gap between the outer wall, of the adaptor, and the liner. I'm not sure how well the fire cement stood up to the pushing and pulling when I fixed the adaptor to the register plate. At the moment I can reach up inside the adaptor and place more fire cement between the inner wall of the adaptor and the inner surface of the liner.
However, there are 3 x 15mm holes at the base of the inner wall of the adaptor which I am assuming are drain holes. So my question is how important is the seal between the outer wall of adaptor and outer surface of the liner? If this has been compromised by all the movement prior to final fixing to register plate would there be any point in inserting fire cement into the gap between inner wall and liner. Would this compromise the draining of any liquid?
