Flue 600mm from a surface or boundary facing the terminal

[Matt0029]

Any one come across it were a builder has built a house and were the position they want the boiler the flue points out to a boundary. No surface there. But less than 600mm away from the boundary line between 2 properties. I am correct in saying this is not acceptable? Its mainly for nuisance and the possibility for the neighbour extending there property out or installing a height fence. Just want to make sure I am right because another gas engineer has ok'd the proposed position of the boiler. Thanks for your insight.

Depends on boiler I think Worcester allow it aslong as it doesn't break gas regs eg opening etc

 

[Matt0029]

Thank your saying Worcester allow you within 600mm boundary as long as no surface there? On your site we install Ideals. Which the instructions quotes, From a surface or boundary facing the terminal. min spacing 600mm.

So in my eyes that's fine

 

[Matt0029]

On the job I am on its 400mm to the boundary from the flue of the boilers proposed position. Even though there's no surface at the boundary. This wouldn't be acceptable?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Needs to be 600mm to the boundary or some people put plumb kits on but still really don't comply but they still get passed

 

[Matt0029]

Thanks that's what I thought 600mm to the boundary line even if no surface there. What have you seen done with the plumb kits? Been used to turn the termination on a angle?

Yea sort of a 45 away from the wall

 

[Matt0029]

Thanks one plume kit section vertical then 45 degree away from the wall? I will have to confirm with work that this is not a suitable position for the flue termination. Its been passed by someone else.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Bet you that's what he's doing or just leaving it as a standard flue

 

[Matt0029]

Have you seen the 600mm to boundary rule been breached quite abit?

more than i would like to see but less than the amount of ones too close to windows

 

[Matt0029]

Must admit when walking around I see a fair few that look less than 300mm to windows. Find my self wanting to measure them!
