Gloworm flexion 18 kw rear flue heat only

[king of pipes]

Morning guys any ideas the best way to go vertical on this boiler if possible , the builder couldnt have made it more awkward i would rather not remove the boiler from the wall we have all been there and old boiler dont like being moved cheers kop

Could you use an elbow a vertical extension and offset maybe??

 

[king of pipes]

think I am gonna have to go and survey this the builders pictures are a bit vague harvest cheers kop

Flat roof above ??

 

[king of pipes]

Sort of bud has two lantern type glazing prymids on the roof, will look like this once complete issue the is flue must always be accessible? Cheers kop

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Opening or permanent shut ?

Also that can be sorted depending on how handy the joiner is

 

[king of pipes]

shut mate you think its doable then ?

Yea the only kicker is

Are you able to get flue parts
And your key part is distance from the wall (eg fluing distances)

If you go VF boiler will have to come off the wall , take blanking plate from top and use to seal R/Flue should be able to get V/Flue kit, but if boiler is 8/10 years then now would be a good time to replace

Agreed but custard won't got for that boiler is already rear flued jt , my thinking is if it can be done which I am not 100% yet a new flue system is compatible with the gloworm energy boiler range so could be swapped in the summer. Cheers kop

Got it sorted wasnt as bad as i imagined when i got there thanks for your input chaps builder will fibre glass around the flashing . Cheers kop

 

[ShaunCorbs]

What's the distance from the flue to the wall

Looks close ?

 

[king of pipes]

600mm of course cheers kop
