It clamps to the boiler's exhaust manifold and provides the \u003cstrong\u003epush-fit Ø60\/100 mm socket\u003c\/strong\u003e into which the vertical flue terminal kit seats above — creating the sealed transition that directs combustion gases upward through the ceiling and roof rather than horizontally through the wall. Without the vertical starter, neither the \u003cstrong\u003estandard domestic vertical flue kits (3318080, 3318081)\u003c\/strong\u003e nor the \u003cstrong\u003eleisure 100mm kit (3319235)\u003c\/strong\u003e can connect to the boiler. Compatible across the full Ariston HE ONE Series including the \u003cstrong\u003eE-Combi ONE, Clas ONE, Genus ONE, Alteas ONE, and Alteas ONE+ NET\u003c\/strong\u003e.
