Antipodean flue
Whats wrong with it?

No heat shield me thinks....
Dont think that boiler needs one, just 25mm from eaves if memory serves

It's a bit longer than the mi shows you to fix it. Ie rubber collar half way into next week.
Think thats just cosmetic, i think the installer was trying to get it past the gutter a little bit so drops of condensation didnt form on it

I laugh ha ha it's part of the mi. The case is also cosmetic? Flues not rated for external is they ?
Bit like white bits on vertical flue not supposed to show as not weather tight
Flue is rated for external max of 600mm exposed page 10 of MIs under technical information

Still looks gaff like he couldn't manage a tape measure. What's the plume elbow for it's allowed to be within 25mm of soffits

its allowe 25mm from soffit but they look like open eves to me in which case it needs to be 300 away surely
That was my thought to judging by the rafter tips but its not 100% clear from the angle of the shot. Its got to be a pretty low roof for it to need a cage.
Probably a bungalow.
I reckon its a garage

This worcester junior was installed a yr ago, I noticed this on a service, I started explaining to the customer what was wrong with it and he asked me to leave and said he would keep the window closed and contact the installer straight away.
and the door, LOL

It was a service for homeserve so will still get paid even though I couldn't complete the service as he asked me to leave. Paperwork was left, and transco informed.

Another one found this on a 3 yr old duotech
I put the cover back on that this was the reading in the air intake!
So stripped down the flue and found this as the vertical flue just didn't look right
Turret cracked
Hmmm metal inner on a duotech!
joined to this 90 with a clamp like used on the older se baxis!
You can see the remains of the clamp on the inner section of the 90
i asked who the installer was and he said a local guy who was now dead! I said what of Co poisoning?!
Id'd capped meter and paper work and left. He declined the quote of £270 to correct it saying it was too expensive and the turret was ok and the 90 would be alright to re use also! I'm guessing he put the boiler in himself!
