Condensing Boiler Flue Discharge

[Martyn2]

I have recently had a Worcester Bosch 30Si boiler installed and it works a treat. However I have noticed that when it is fired up, in addition to the plume there is a steady drip of water that comes from the flue (externally not internally). Is this normal because I thought all the condensed water went down the drain via a pipe.

Can we have a picture of the flue terminal please and the angle it exits the wall.

No it's not right sounds like there isn't any fall on the flue

Agree mate but wanted to see a pic before I made my mind up

Odd drip ok , steady drip no .

I thought the fall was built in the flue on the inner duct ?
I think sometimes the fan can blow a small discharge outside ,also on some moisture does collect on the lip on the black terminal.

It is but if it is a short length and bad angle they can drip.

I forgot to mention they are also crap which is possibly why its dripping

No I don't think Worcesters are

No I don't think Worcesters are

Always cranks the angle up as you tighten the flue flange

That’s why I recommend Vaillant’s. But will still fit Worcester if it’s what the customer wants.

Vaillant has been a good boiler for years, I had the first sign written vaillant vans in Bath in 1987 ish complete with Easter bunnies on the back.

You can just see the drip on the end of the flue in second picture

Flue is pointing downwards so incorrect angle / fall I would say

I concur looks like the flue runs a bit to me also that external seal is not on a flat walled surface so make sure you have another seal .

 

[Harvest Fields]

I also agree. Pointing downwards.
