Hi. Our builders hit a problem with extending the balanced flue through a new extension. Their solution was to have the outer, intake pipe terminate at an external wall, but add an extra section to the inner pipe to take the exhaust away from the next house. However, the gas boiler was repeatedly shutting down and they have had to remove the extra pipe for now. The boiler is a GlowWork Flexicom.
Can anyone answer these theories as about why the boiler might be shutting down:
1) The inner and outer pipes should end at the same point
2) The extra pipe has two sharp bends, which is causing extra resistance
3) The weather is very cold, resulting in excess condensation on a 2m external run of flue.
Any other ideas gratefully received.
Many thanks in advance.
