Truma chimney cap??

[RubyOptics]

Hi all, was just flicking through the instruction manual PDF and started reading the parts regarding the heating/hot water control panel. It states that if I wish to use the heating, I should first remove the "chimney cap" however it fails to explain what and where this is?? The van is a 19 year old Burstner with the Trumatic C 3402 (i think!). Any ideas??

Odd. Our Trumatic s3002 should only works with a cowl. And a different one when driving - which I haven’t got but luckily don’t need

However, the Truma ultrastore water heater has a vent cover that has to be removed when on gas.

Hopefully someone with a better match of model types can clarify.

If the exhaust is through the side of the van it is a balanced flue and doesn't have a cap.

The C3002 is a fire not a Combi boiler.

Oops. Thanks for the redirect.
I was optimistic that info on cowls would be interchangeable.
Sounds like maybe the OP’s user manual wants the water heater cap/vent cover removed but the name “chimney cap” is confusing.

I've taken a quick screenshot of the relevant section of the manual. Lenny HB I'll try and look at the ad pictures again to see if I can identify the boiler exhaust location. Hopefully it isn't on the roof as the van doesn't have a ladder fitted which would make roof access awkward to say the least!!

Side vent is like this from outside you will just see part No. 15.

Thanks Lenny HB, I've seen that vent on a number of vans we have viewed and knew it was the boiler vent, but guess i didn't connect the dots between the two items. I'm guessing that as long as I have this side-type exhaust vent, I can safely disregard all mention of "removing chimney caps"??

Yep.

Not quite so. I have the circular side vent and there was a twist and turn cap on it when I bought the camping car. If I try to start the heater (water or space) then the boiler trips out.

Never seen one like that.
