Hi all fitted a ideal logic 30 plus for a lady I've given the flue probably more lean back than needs but obviously not so rain water can get In but it is forming liquid on the tip and dripping quite a lot, any ideas? Is it just the cobdensation from the flu gases to the outside, it's not running away from the boiler but she wants to no why it's dripping.
Would a pluming kit help or is this a problem that just happens, I know it's acidic which I why I'm looking for some advice.
thanks Martyn.
 
Sorry not got a pic it is slightly angled back towards the boiler, I no that some have a built in slope but it was dripping so I gave it a bit more of an angle.
 
I've have a few Worcester's do this and main ecos one of those things I think makes an interesting icicle tho
 
I left the ones ive had caused no problems see if the flue is tilted enough. just remember it it drips onto a footpath patio ect it will make it slippery

it will pool in the corner of the pluming kit mate then it drips a lot more check your tilt
 
Cheers mate. I've put the flue on a good tilt that's what's puzzling me, it just forms on the tip and that small bit falls off before it falls back to the boiler.
 
Sound good, but will that be ok don't want to affect the flue in anyway?
 
I've had the seam on the tip of a black worcester flue leak before the seam where you can change from strait out to 45 it dripped from there once I used silicone grease sorted it
