where i can get a flexible flue pipe for an electrolux Rm212???
I've searched and searched......wiki , old posts and google but no luck.
Can anyone help?
Finally got the fridge going nicely and cant re-fit it until i get one of these.
I have seen new dometic flu kits but not sure if they will work as they dont seem include the flexible pipe.
As always.........any help appreciated!
Cheers all ,
Shaun

When i got a new fridge all the fittings kits I saw were solid pip not one had flexi, sorry it dont help but thought I'd let ya know!

Yeah thanks
To be honest , i am starting to feel like i am chasing a lost cause!
Not given up hope , totally , yet though!

have you tried reimo.co.uk they have some ducting under the heating/cooling section not sure if it will suit your needs.

I got some flexible hose from the B & Q

It was similar to the stuff in the link - the ends were soft rubbery/plastic and air tight

Thanks Louey but surely I can't use plastic flush pipe for a fridge exhaust........am sure it would melt??

you need some of this stuff http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EXHAUST-FLEXIBLE- ... 286.c0.m14" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/S-S-FLEXI-FLEXIBL ... 286.c0.m14" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (or just search for 'flexible exhaust')

make sure that the inside diameter is correct & secure with jubilee clips

'twas what I used & it does the job

Tell you what , it's close!
Needing an internal diameter of 32mm though (1 1/4")
Thanks for trying.......maybe i'll have to try a solid duct like all the modern ones seem to have.
Am bit concerned it wont fit though.........
Sorry , very boring thread , i know!!

How long have i been looking for that??!!!
THANKYOU!

I wanted to fit a vent/exhaust that would flex enough to let me pull the fridge forward enough to disconnect and remove it, rather than having to pull out the entire unit. I was hoping to find something like the heat vent pipes which would do a treat. So, I read this thread, and bought the flexible steel version dirtygertie proposed, which looked perfect.

'Tisn't though. It's "flexible" in the sense that if you hold both ends and squeeze really hard you can turn it from straight into 90-degree bend. Great for installing a weird exhaust on a car; but solid enough to hold the fridge completely in position if I used it there.

Back to the drawing board.

I'm tempted to use this:

...and monitor it after a few weeks use. I mean, how hot can the fridge exhaust get?

Nige has had to disconnect our fridge several times whilst camping to scrape the carbon off the flame wotsit at the back & he just reaches down the back of the fridge from behind the drivers seat & disconnects the exhaust pipe from the fridge.....

but this would only work if your van is the same layout as a devon

Ay, there's the rub!

Tbh the pipe on my ancient rm212 looks like the one on ebay but it's not exactly flexible though. Very stiff

Hello.
Sorry , only just seen this. I have bought the same flexible pipe as yourself but havent fitted it yet , due to accident at work and bit of a long lay off.......is a long story! I'm pretty sure it will work though because , on mine , you can gain access to the back of the fridge (to disconect ducting) via the large fridge vents at rear. Does your fridge not have large fridge vents? I thought all gas fridges had to have the large vents to try and keep the whole thing from over heating?
I wouldn't be happy using a flexible waste pipe for the flue though (as per your screwfix link). When you've got the fridge going on gas that flue gets nice and hot!I had my fridge running in the garden for the whole day when i was testing it all after service. I wouldnt put plastic anywhere near it!
