How close can a boiler flue be to a window?

[Mbear]

so if you measure from the center it is always from the same point which it isnt always the same point if measuring from the outside edge of the flue is it ?

Dig out an mi from a boiler. The flue term location pic always shows its arrows from the edge of the flue. The arrow doesn't start in the centre of the box (box being the flue term).

im not sure that your correct tbh i will have to call gas safe tomorrow to clarify

3 assesors have told me from the center of the flue thats why im a tad confused

Dear oh dear.

 

[ryangas]

if everyone is so sure could someone please tell me exactly what regs state word for word

 

[Halesowen1]

If you fitted a Room sealed natural draught (old square cage style) would you measure from the centre??
As these can be 300mm to the opening, the centre would be about 200mm so you are saying its Ok to fit them 100 from window??
It is the outer edge not centre.

I agree with u on this one 100%

 

[ryangas]

it would have to be a very low kw boiler but thanks for clarifying that makes perfect sense

Eh? You've lost me.

 

[Dannypipe]

I must off too.

 

[ryangas]

lol natural draught room sealed flue can only be within 300 mm if rated 0-7 kw

 

[Halesowen1]

But you get the drift, it could theoretically have been like this.

 

[ryangas]

been like what lol

 

[ryangas]

u mean if what i said was right a nat draught rs flue could be 100mm away ? sorry hard day

 

[ryangas]

like the website btw halsowen

 

[Halesowen1]

Yes Ryan thats what I meant about the flue could have been 300mm away yet centre 200mm further.
Thanks for feedback on website, I have messed with it a bit so need the guy to put some things right. Do you reckon the hints page is worth keeping??
