Baxi duotec 2, gas savers and flue screws

[Bhoydavid]

Hi everyone quick question. I'm currently on a site commissioning the above boilers. Am I right in saying the flue pioe coming out from top of boiler to gas saver needs to be screwed at the spigot? And likewise the flue coming out of the gas saver and any subsequent extensions/telescopics need screwed aswell?

The Duo Tec 2 flue should come with self tapping screws and any extentions also come with brackets. If you haven't got these it's the hea flue. They're the same apart from what they come with though, so just put 2 small self tappers in. The gas saver should go directly above the boiler and then the flue extensions on to that. Expect slightly higher readings with that on your fga.

What he said. The only problem is with the HEA is that I don't think it meets new legislation regarding emissions and efficiency on new build properties. Although I think the gas saver does satisfy this.

As far as I know without digging much deeper, the GA can be fitted without the gas saver and still satisfy the regulations. The GA is a rubbish boiler, or at least it was. I think they are starting to resolve the huge volume of issues they've had with them and the Neta-Tec GA, which believe it or not, is actually worse than the Duo Tec GA.

The HEA can't get enough praise from me though. Work on them all day every day and I'd still have one in my house over everything else.
