It connects the boiler's exhaust manifold to the vertical flue assembly above, redirecting the flue gases upward through the ceiling and roof. The \u003cstrong\u003eAriston Vertical Flue with Red Terminal (Part No. 3318081)\u003c\/strong\u003e is the \u003cstrong\u003ecomplete 80\/125 mm vertical flue terminal pipe\u003c\/strong\u003e that pairs with the vertical starter — it includes a \u003cstrong\u003eweatherproof red terminal cap\u003c\/strong\u003e designed to be visible above the roof line for easy identification.
