Redbank Flu Vent Red

The Redbank Flue Vent Red is a fired-clay ventilation component intended for appropriate redundant chimney arrangements. Where a flue is no longer in use, a suitable ventilated terminal can help maintain airflow while complementing traditional red chimney pots and brickwork. It must not be confused with a working-appliance flue terminal.

Red clay ventilator for a correctly identified disused flue

The live size options specify 170mm and 190mm diameters. The correct diameter should be determined from the existing pot or flue detail, not simply the nominal brick chimney opening. The old description suggests protection from rain and debris; actual performance depends on the fitted assembly and the condition of the chimney.

• Diameter: 170mm, 190mm

Choosing the right materials

Before buying, confirm whether the chimney is genuinely redundant, whether it serves any appliance and what ventilation arrangement is required at both ends. An inactive flue can still have moisture risks and may need particular ventilation detailing. If its status is uncertain, obtain advice from a suitably competent chimney specialist.

Installation and maintenance advice

Work at chimney height requires safe access. Check the actual dimensions, bedding and fixing arrangement and the condition of the existing pot or stack. Never obstruct or alter a live flue without an assessment of the connected appliance and the approved terminal requirements.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:

We recommend ordering an additional 10% of roof tiles to allow for any breakages that may occur during delivery or handling. Roof tiles are naturally fragile, and having a few extra on site helps prevent delays and ensures your roofing project can be completed without interruption.
