ID or AR on this flue?

[armyash]

Serviced boiler tonight.

This is the flue outside. It meets the 300 to the window to the mm pretty much.

This rubber collar is supposed to be on the outside of the wall. It's inside the wall.

fga readings were fine after I had to adjust co/co2 as per mi's.

Couldn't TT as where the test screw screws in at meter it was leaking, looks like previous engineer has had a good go with grips and wound the screw housing out a little bit. Didn't want to tighten it myself in case I made it worse.

Turned off, transco called. Will go back and TT once res calls to say done.

Got to be AR?

 

[Scott_D]

AR unless POC are entering
How bad is the install?

 

[armyash]

Can't see much to be honest. Condense is run internally correctly.

I'm going to give her a quote for a new flue.

She wont want it switched off.

Might not have been taped or screwed in wall so needs doing.

ar

but you sure it hasnt been pushed in 😉

 

[armyash]

The utility room door opens outward towards the flue. I did check.

There is an o/s tap fitted lower on the same wall as where flue exits. Door hits tap before it can hit flue. 😀

AR for me mate. I would make sure that they just have not screwed and taped the join on the telescopic in the wall. Try pulling it back out again and see if that moves. Also if you have 300mm door to centre of flue that is not good enough. I am sure that it is supposed to be 300mm from door to edge of outer flue.

I did give the flue a firm pull - not too much but enough to get a feel and it didn't budge. It is possible if the flue was protruding far enough in the first place and the wind has caught the door and its hit the flue it could have pushed it in but still needs to be checked.

Its 300mm edge to edge so that's OK then.

To the edge pal

Had text saying transco have been and checked sorted it.

Said no need for me to go back. Sent text back saying flue needs sorting. She said she will speak to husband.

Don't think I'll be hearing back.

All noted on Paperwork.

That does not look like 300mm mate

 

[armyash]

I measured to the openable part of the window. Not frame.

Definitely not 300 to frame.

[Scott_D]

Did you get paid for the service?

 

[armyash]

Did you get paid for the service?

Yes, after I explained the situation, got the paperwork signed. Was packing my stuff away got the feeling she didn't want to pay. Walked in with receipt book "do you need a receipt Mrs.....?" 😀

 

[Scott_D]

Still send a quote for sorting it. You never know.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Must be the angle I’m looking at it 😛

On the picture where you have marked the gap, you're right that's its not 300 but i have measured to the edge of the openable window. It's still very tight.
Customer actually commented the installers mentioned how they only just got it.

 

[townfanjon]

I would measure that from the edge of the opening window to the edge of the flue ( air intake ) .
