New Flue - water (rain) ingress

[StuSpiers]

Hi,

Had this boiler fitted within the last 6 months.

It is a Baxi boiler with hot water tank gravity system.

Boiler is fine however whenever it rains I get a small puddle of water underneath the boiler.

Under further investigation (by me) I think the rain must be getting in between the inner flue and flue sleeve (forgive terminology)

If this is correct is there any kind of end cap to fit said flue sleeve.

Regards.

I'd like to detract the statment i made regarding the flue. Managed to download the mi's and as you stated it MUST be fitted horizontally .... Sorry for the duff info ... Still learning 🙂

Aren't we all! 🙂

This just proves the importance of having and reading the MI's.

Very true mountainman , maybe the installer didn't and fitted the flue at an angle? 🙂 .... By-the-way the gather plate I'm on about is not on these boilers either! About the only thing i miss about not working for BG these days is the variety of appliances you got to work on, new and old.

HoHummmmmm 😀
