rm123 3 way fridge install

Post by sarge »

hi there, have just bought new rm123 3 way fridge to replace my old t25 gas fridge (devon conversion). The fridge sits next to the sliding door facing the back of the passenger seat ie the back of the fridge does not face the side of the van, but the back of the van. The flue on the new fridge is on the right side (on the old one it was on the left) result flue does not line up with van flue pipework. As I am only planning to use it on 240v ie no gas does the flue still need connecting? If so, is there some kind of flexible pipe available? Has anyone come across this problem before?
cheers sarge

I am pretty sure that the flue is only needed when on gas.

anyone else?

Yep, i was told the flue was needed for gas. But you also had to provide some sort of venting around the fridge itself for general cooling.
