    POC in flue integrity

    Windy day, wind blowing directly at a fan assisted horizontal flue. During a flue integrity test O2 is 19% 10ppm of CO The very next day without the wind the flue integrity is fine. This is the first time I've ever had this but I would guess its a common issue? I wouldn't say the flue is...

    Flue advice on excess water coming out

    I've recently had a Baxi heat only boiler fitted and just noticed there is excess water coming out of the flue. I obviously will ring the company to get them back. I just wanted to get a bit of information beforehand. Can these flues be repositioned? On mine you can see the water pools forward...

    Viessmann external flue run conundrum

    Hi all. Hope you have all been keeping well. A while back I decided I only wanted to fit one brand of boiler and decided on Viessmann due to space for servicing and changing parts if ever needing to. I am finding my decision rather hard due to the different clearances on flue runs and cupboards...

    Can this Boiler Flue be reduced in size?

    Hello All, I was hoping you could help with a potential boiler build query for my father. He has recently had a new boiler installed via British Gas (valiant brand). The external boiler flue seems excessively tall, proving to be somewhat of an eye sore (please see pictures attached). I know it...

    Flue problem . How best to get it looked at ?

    I’m getting water in my boiler which I think is coming from the flue (pictured). Is it likely that the issue is with the flue itself or the roof junction? I guess if it is the roof then I’m better asking a roofer rather than a heating engineer - right?

    Flue position - will this be a problem?

    We are considering buying a house which currently has a 20 year old Ideal Icos boiler, so we're factoring in replacing the boiler soon. Current boiler is on an external kitchen wall with the flue going straight out. However, it's positioned in between a door and the kitchen window, quite close...

    What type of flue liner do I need?

    Hi Guys, My chimney failed the test so I need to install a flue liner for my Gazco Stockton gas fire. It was over a year ago when the engineer condemned the chimney and I remember him also saying something about it needing some sort of box fitted into the fire recess but I can't remember the...

    Glow Worm Micron 30FF Flue?

    The flue for a glow worm micron 30ff is apparently obsolete but there must be other flues that would fit it surely, it's just a standard 100mm horizontal flue right? I mean when a bg gas engineer tells you that you'll have to change the whole boiler as well because you can apparently no longer...

    Mixing Vertical and Horizontal Combi Flue

    My installation has been classed as Dangerous 'Do not use' by my boiler manufacturer. I have an Ideal Logic 30kw Combi boiler mounted as high as can be on the kitchen wall. Flue exits out through the wall via an elbow but emerges above a flat roof. Unfortunately it's somewhat less than the...

    Thoughts on this flue

    Installed 2 days ago, Worcester 4000. Haven’t seen anything like this before, any thoughts. Personally I would have gone horizontal with an offset bend in the roof space ( to get minimum distance from boundary) and terminated at the gable end.

    Can the flue be bent upwards to meet the distance rule from a window?

    I had a combi boiler put in my rental property about 10 years ago by a contractor arranged by the letting agency and I assume qualified. Gas safety checks have never highlighted a problem. This year they have turned off the boiler because the bottom of the flue pipe is 200mm from the opening...

    Vertical flue/ roofing query??

    Hi guys. How many of you use a roofer to help with vertical flue installations, or do you rather do it yourself?? I’m not one for heights so would rather not if possible.
