Hello!

I have three connections to my chimney that are no longer used. They are essentially just holes leading directly into (probably) different flues, but still...

The top one is what I guess is just ventilation to bring in new air for the old boiler. Am I right?

The next one is sealed with some kind of flange/fitting. Do you think one can remove the fitting to seal the hole more neatly, or is it some kind of connection flange on a long iron pipe (which in that case can't be pulled out)?

In the next hole, there is still ash remaining. I also plan to seal this one.

In the top and bottom ones, there is draft out of the house. I was planning to leave the top one as is while sealing the two lower ones. Would sealing these be bad for the chimney?

Best regards,
Mats

Could be an old "vadsomhelst" I have a hole for a water heater, i.e., the kind you used to boil water in for washing.

It's just a matter of bricking it up as long as you don't plug the channel inside.
