Q: What types of oil boiler flues do you stock?

A: We stock oil boiler flue kits, flue pipes, elbows, and extensions compatible with leading oil-fired boiler brands.

Q: Do oil boilers need a flue?

A: Yes - all oil-fired boilers require a flue to safely vent combustion gases outside. The flue system removes carbon dioxide and other by-products from the boiler, preventing a build-up inside the home. It’s a vital part of any oil boiler installation, and must meet UK building regulations.

Q: What are the different types of oil boiler flues?

A: Oil boilers typically use one of the following flue systems:

• Balanced flue – A room-sealed system that draws air in and expels gases via a concentric flue. Common with internal oil boilers.

• High-level flue – Designed to vent gases higher up a wall, ideal for certain site layouts.

• Vertical flue – Exits through the roof, often used where wall space is limited.

Each setup requires specific parts, but we offer flue kits, bends and accessories to support compliant installation for every flue system.

Q: Can I extend the flue on my oil boiler?

A: Yes, many oil boiler flues can be extended using a compatible flue extension kit, but always check the manufacturer’s instructions and flue length limits. Incorrect flue configuration can affect boiler performance or breach regulations, so consult a qualified OFTEC installer before making changes.

Q: Are there specific rules for oil boiler flues in the UK?

A: Yes - flue installations must comply with Building Regulations Part J. Key rules include:

• Minimum clearances from windows, doors and boundaries.

• Proper support and termination.

• Use of approved flue terminals and weatherproofing for external walls.

• External oil boilers must have flues fitted in line with the unit's specifications. 

Always follow the product manual or consult a qualified installer.
