Boiler replacement flueing option advice

[RDS]

Hi all,

Been asked to quote for boiler replacement and went outside and saw this:

The customer wants an Alpha etec 20s, even with the plume kit its not gonna meet regs. Looking for suggestions without having to move boiler location - is it possible??. Thoughts much appreciated....

Vaillant with an elbow and extension externally with sealed collars and the horizontal terminal on the end? (Make sure it is supported correctly) I wouldn’t do it like that and would tell them it needs moving elsewhere. But have seen it done like that and Vaillant say that it is ok as long as collars are sealed correctly.

Thanks for advice guys much appreciated, I thought as much too! Nightmare to move boiler with pipework under tiled and laminated floors and not much space to relocate elsewhere. Customer adamant about having an Alpha, though suspect they may keen for a Vaillant as suggested when extent of work realised! I wouldn't be keen on the Vaillant flue run either!

External flue
Vaillant, GW, Worcester, ATAG Viessmann all allow it

Take the Vaillant or Atag option though mate

GW is a Vaillant
Never fitted a GW but might try and sell a few after fitting a Pure rear flue.

A Glowworm is not a Vaillant. Now go and wash your mouth out.

Just had a thought, but with 90 degree bend with horizontal extension and terminal it would need to clear rear wall of house I assume. That's a further 4/5 metres behind me from where I took the pic!
