Talon has introduced the FlueSnug 5”, known as the FS5 – a flue seal designed to make gas boiler flue replacements smoother than ever.
Fitting perfectly into the existing flue hole, it eliminates the need for extra drilling or touch-ups, speeding up installation and ensuring compliance with the latest building regulations.
With the FS5, Talon has engineered a solution that addresses a common challenge faced by boiler installers. In traditional flue replacements, aligning the new flue with the existing hole often requires drilling or patching, leading to longer installation times and potential complications. The FlueSnug 5” is precisely sized to fit into the existing flue opening, providing a secure seal and saving installers time and effort.
By helping to maintain the integrity of the existing structure, the FS5 supports installers in complying with Part L of the Building Regulations. It ensures that there is minimal thermal bridging around the flue penetration, crucial for maintaining the energy efficiency of the building. With FlueSnug 5”, installers can achieve a high-quality seal that reduces heat loss, keeping energy performance at optimal levels.
Speedier installations
FS5 also offers a significant reduction in installation time. By eliminating the need for resizing holes or making good around the flue opening, installers can complete jobs faster and move on to the next project. One of the major pain points during boiler installation is the need to repair walls or make good around the new flue.
With the FlueSnug 5”, this becomes unnecessary and installers can achieve a neat, professional finish without the additional materials, labour, and costs typically associated with such repairs.
“We understand the demands faced by heating engineers and installers, which is why the FS5 has been developed with direct feedback from professionals in the field,” explains Dean Heathfield, Commercial Director for Talon. “The launch of the FS5 really completes the FlueSnug range and reinforces Talon’s commitment to delivering practical, high-quality solutions for the plumbing and heating sector.”
