Wouldnt even worry about your pipework at the moment with the carp thats being installed under the ECO banner.
 
the next door neighbour has just had a look and asked why the 40mm pipe and not just use the 21.5mm outide.
explained about the freezing issues
she asked me to pop round and look at hers.
vailliant with the same position and run....in 21.5mm installed this summer.
horizontal run has no fall to it.

if welsh women are anything like scottish women, i wouldn't want to be her installer right about......... now !!!

Flue has slight fall built into it. Outlet it at top outside and in center at boiler. If it's less than 1m there is 2.5% fall so don't worry. 21.5 outside is standard practice , 32 and insulation won't fit on saddle bag!
 
Here's that install I finished up yesterday, first intergas install. No particular skill either, just a boiler and some straight pipes.

21.5 on a 7m external run 🙂 i think it's gonna be an issue !!

Not on the newer worcester flues I'm sure? The outlet is central, the older kits with the long terminal had a built in fall, as do the vaillants.
 
it looks better than some of the shyt ive fitted in the past. 🙂

i would do as other have suggested and keep your pipework straight down. It helps it look neater, it helps you get your spanner on stuff, its easier to lagg the cold, and other pipework. If you have to cross alot over at the bottom of a cupboard or come out the floor in the middle of the cupobard due to floor structure then i sometimes drop a false floor in to make it look neat and save time altering the existing pipes.

keep up the good work!
 
Neat job.
They gonna struggle removing that wallpaper now though....😀

yeah I thought that, but then realised I didn't care.

I did wonder why it wasn't all taken off before the boiler was fitted, the boxing to the right was removed prior to me starting.
 
Looks good Billy.

There's always things we would like to do differently or aren't happy with. I hardly ever look at my work and think it looks great. I always pick up on what I'm not happy with.


It doesn't help looking at some of the work on Facebook and here. Which is top or the class good, and they've obviously had time to think about it.

On the whole, I think it looks good. The condense with all the 45's is the only thing that draws the eye. Well done mate.

Why the auto bypass?

Part the way through gas training.....wouldn't that compartment require high/low level ventilation <5 m3 ?
 
We were told MI exceed anything else....but I'm 99.9% sure it was across the board as a general to do with high/low level vent. That was my understanding of what we were told.
 
Nice job. Cant say I have much to add over the more experienced comments that have allready been made. I agree it looks congested. Is the system big enough to need the additional ev or is it back up, im sure a read a post of yours that mentioned doing that. Are the 22clips spaced off the wall To allow the 15's to pass behind? I would be pleased with such tidy work.
