[Ermintrude]

Viessmann do a current boiler that is fan flue and not room sealed. Takes its air from room too! V200 with chimney kit.

You won't see any it's £499 for the flue and £1600 for the combo [emoji23]

mson used to sell a fan that went inline on an open flue so you could push the fumes out anywhere

reading this thread i cant help thinking when we had some of the most dangerous boilers we had little regulation now we have possibly the safest boilers ever we are overloaded with regulation
how we never killed anyone back in the 70s and 80s amazes me everything went in on 15mm ,open flues ,most blokes didnt had a gas gauge just a bit of fairy liquid flues were a mix and match item terminating any where we judged it wasnt goin to kill anyone with an open end on the bottom bend to get rid of any condensate
