An upgrade route for fan convectors

Rinnai
Making it easy to upgrade to its powered-flue heaters from old balanced-flue systems, Rinnai offers a flue-conversion kit.
To enable old, balanced-flue heating systems to be replaced with its powered-flue units, Rinnai UK has developed a flue-conversion kit. The pack contained everything an installer needs to replace traditional-style wall-mounted balanced-flue convector heaters with 250 mm flue holes. It eliminates the need for additional filling or making good the large flue hole required by the older heaters. The kit also contains a wall bracket for converting from floor-mounted to wall-hung boilers. These flue adaptors consist of an external and internal filler plate, optional terminal guard, all fixing screws and instructions.
