[Rckape]

Counterbalance the boiler on the other side of the wall? Maybe the customer wanted it to be height adjustable?

 

[newcastle phill]

Has gone for the side exit "muscle car" look !

Relief valve in attic on a gas heating job today.
New way to discharge it - into the cwt overflow and going out about 3 metre high outside.
Free job for elderly people and believe it or not it was all passed.

Look at this boiler flue I saw today in Lewisham, also do you think he got planning permission to build what ever his building? Bet his going to rent it out for £500pw

I've seen It all now. What a muppet lol

 

[PriestyUK]

Arh man why go to all that effort, just get a pan that fits, also I hate DIY'ers and flexi's! Swear its not even pushed in all the way. Great photo for hall of shame any how

I was replacing a soil stack for a mate yesterday, when I was at the top of the ladder cutting out the old stack I peered over next doors' roof to see this shining example of a plume kit.

The installer had notched out the gutter perfectly to pass the flue through, supported by a bit of silicone round the gutter half way and a cable tie round the gutter at the top.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Can't tell from pics but doesn't seem any need for all that ?

 

[Rckape]

The flue is definitely too close to the opening but I'm not sure that plume kit installation was the right solution.

It does look a bit too close even with the kit.

 

[plumben]

wouldn't this weaken the pan?

 

[Millsy 82]

The installer was probably fed up of customers supplying back to wall pans when they cant physically have them!Ive had it a couple of times even after saying do not buy a back to wall pan as I cant fit one without building a false wall or running soil outside, What did I get yep 2 back to wall pans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had one this morning with a Sanislim shoehorned in behind it, luckily for me I could reach the problem area otherwise it would of meant pan and pump coming out as one. That`s fine when installing as it`s all new, empty and clean but 5yrs later it ain`t so fine for me or the customer.

dont think the window opens, only top opener

 

[Rckape]

You're quite right. I've always taken it as the whole window (building opening) as that's what I was taught at college. I've just checked BS5440 and it's only the opening section of the window itself that counts - Good to know. A bit of a misunderstanding with terminology there, luckily I've never had to change my plan A on the basis of it. Every days a school day.

It does still look a bit close for the 150mm allowance for structural and temperature issues though. I know it's unlikely to cause any issues, especially with the flue temperature of modern boilers, but rules is rules.

It's the route of the kit that made me chuckle, it must have been a right pain cutting it through the gutter. At least it's not cast iron like the main roof gutter.
