Product Information
Full details
The Talon FlueSnug 5 is designed for professional heating engineers and DIY homeowners seeking an airtight, professional finish for boiler flue installations. Its primary benefit is the elimination of mortar and messy patching, significantly reducing labor time during boiler swaps. However, it is important to note that this specific model requires a precise 127mm core-drilled hole, making it unsuitable for applications where the hole size differs significantly from the 5-inch standard.

What happens if my hole size is not 127mm?
The product is engineered specifically for a 127mm (5 inch) core-drilled hole. It will not function correctly if the hole is a different size.
Is the material paintable?
The material can be painted with appropriate exterior or interior masonry paint to match your wall color if required.
Does it require special tools to install?

Troubleshooting
The unit does not sit flush against the wall.
Check the core-drilled hole for obstructions or uneven brickwork. Ensure the flue pipe is centered within the 127mm hole.
Loose fit within the hole.
Verify that your hole diameter is exactly 127mm; if the hole was over-cored, the friction fit will not be secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the FlueSnug 5 is straightforward. First, ensure the core-drilled hole measures exactly 127mm. Clear away any loose debris from the drill path to ensure a smooth surface. Once the flue pipe is in position, push the FlueSnug over the pipe and firmly press it into the wall hole until it sits flush against the exterior or interior surface. No tools, adhesives, or sealants are required. For maintenance, a periodic visual inspection of the seal is recommended to ensure it remains flush against the wall, particularly after severe weather events. To clean, simply wipe the outer surface with a damp cloth if necessary.
