Another one on plume kits

[kasser]

Vaillant 838 to be fitted. Flue will end up on boundary line. Can a plume kit be fitted as solution?

I've been told yes but I don't see how a plume kit suddenly makes the short distance ok. The plume will still discharge over the boundary line.

I can direct the plume away from the boundary but I think 45deg is the max, certainly not 90 Deg?

There's currently no plume nuisance since there's no building nearby or path. It's just the 600 mm to boundary is more like 0 mm!

I did not do this btw.

I would say shouldn’t be going there myself

I would have proposed a vertical flue myself or stick the boiler somewhere else but the hole has already been drilled. It would be easier if I could just stick a plume kit to it.
Apparently a couple of GSR said it's fine and did not even mention a plume kit.

I think it’s flippant just to say there’s nothing there so it’s ok. Is it just wasteland???

It's the neighbour's garden! I didn't say there's nothing.

I didn’t mean you I meant the other guys. If it’s the neighbours garden then no

Fact is, there could be something there in the future. We've just had this on another thread. If the neighbour decides to build on the land, they have the right to ask the flue to be moved as it shouldn't be there. 600mm away from the boundary isn't just to prevent a nuisance.

 

[kasser]

I guess even if they don't build anything, it's still within their right to ask for the flue not to discharge right on their land.
But the question is, is fitting a plume kit a solution to this?

 

[Aire]

Your neighbours boundary line isn't just at ground level so I doubt a plume kit will work in this situation.

The boundary is an imaginary line All the way up.
