Little embarassing for my company.....

[Aire]

How on earth would an internal corner affect the air intake?

That’s barmy!!

That's what I thought, I know when using a plume kit on a Worcester you can half the minimum measurements for the air intake but not the same with vaillants unfortunately

 

[Aire]

Am I right in reading this that the measurement from an internal corner reduces to 25mm when used with a plume management kit and the 300mm then only becomes a recomendation?

If you have fitted a boiler and windows. It would be prudent to fit a vertical flue and keep a happy customer as a plume kit would look hideous

What’s your role in the company?
Do you do surveys/quotes
Do you work for someone

Any room to re-route flue internally ie. over and away from the window, not pretty but if it's a utility room?

 

[Aire]

Only way I could re-route internally would be vertically, it's in a small utility so no where else to take it. @quality is right, we messed up so no point trying to bodge it, just do it properly and keep the customer happy.

@scott_d my role is just a plumbing and heating installer. I work for a construction firm and apart from my apprentice I'm the only plumber they have. I don't do quotes or anything, I do survey boiler installs etc but just tell the showroom sales staff what's required and they do the quoting. This boiler or install had nothing to do with me though, I've just got to put it right.

Reading that it does imply a plume kit would sort it, probably best giving Vaillant a ring to confirm it

 

[Harvest Fields]

Spoke to vaillant, a plume kit would be fine for taking flue gasses away from the window but the air intake would still be too close to an internal corner so only option is a vertical flue

He did

Just though I'd update you guys, all done and customer happy
