Title: Roy Harding - roof vent
Post by: Dave Willis on May 30, 2011, 09:55:04 am

Roy, how did your roof vent go? I see you managed to get a flange fitted to the Fogwash supplied flue. How did you do that? Did you use a hole saw to cut the van roof? Is it weather proof?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Dave

I had to get one adapted for my needs, however I have not fitted it yet. We do a lot of high end rural properties, and the van back doors are left open. So I have vented the flue out of the back of the van.

The reason I went this route  I had to have a bend it the flue to vent through the roof, and this bend restricted the exhaust gases getting away and would trip the sensor on the heater. So by having a less restrictive bend to the back of the van I avoided this problem.

Thanks Roy, I wondered if you ever went through the roof. I have mine near the sliding door so shouldn't need the chimney I hope. Quite impressed with the heater, works well but only fires up if I back the water flow down. Do you have your heater after the pumps or before?

I have it after the pump.
