The Oilfit range offers a quick and easy fluing solution for both internal and external boilers, simplifying installation with its Push-Fit connection. Keep in mind that while the Push-Fit design is convenient, proper alignment is critical for a gas-tight seal.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Push-Fit connection?
The Push-Fit connection allows for quick and easy installation, forming a gas-tight seal without needing specialized tools or cutting the flue in many cases.
Can I use this flue kit with any boiler?
No, it is specifically designed for use with Worcester Bosch boilers and the Greenstar Oilfit range. Always check the product specifications and your boiler's manual for compatibility.
What tools do I need for installation?
The Oilfit kit is designed for tool-free installation, meaning you don't typically need any special tools. However, you might need a measuring tape, a level, and possibly soapy water for leak testing.
How do I ensure a gas-tight seal?
Make sure all Push-Fit connections are fully engaged and properly aligned. Inspect the seals and ensure they are clean and free from damage. After installation, test for leaks using soapy water.
How do I adjust the flue length?
The flue kit includes a telescopic section that can be adjusted to the required length. Extend or retract this section as needed, ensuring it fits correctly and securely.
What should I do if the flue is blocked?
If you suspect a blockage, immediately turn off the boiler and contact a qualified heating engineer to inspect and clear the flue. Never attempt to clear a blockage yourself.
Where can I find the installation instructions?
Detailed installation instructions are provided with the product. You can also download them from the Worcester Bosch website.
Is professional installation required?
While the kit is designed for easy installation, it is recommended that a qualified heating engineer install the flue to ensure correct and safe operation, and to comply with local regulations.
Troubleshooting
Flue is not gas-tight, and there are leaks.
Check all Push-Fit connections to make sure they are fully engaged and properly sealed. Realign and reconnect any connections if necessary. Use soapy water to test for leaks.
Flue length is insufficient.
Verify the maximum telescopic extension of the kit. If this is insufficient, additional flue extensions may be required. Ensure the extended flue meets local regulations and manufacturer specifications.
Difficulty with Push-Fit connection.
Ensure the flue components are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the seals if recommended by the manufacturer. Make sure you are aligning the components correctly and applying firm pressure.
