Replacing a new boiler but using the same flue hole..

[Inverness]

hi guys,
I'll be doing a boiler replacement with a glow worm betcom4 but customer insists I use the same hole..
I've looked at the manual for the terminal positioning and the only way round would be having the terminal extending passed the soffit and guttering with a flue clip. Opposite ge flue there is no buildings or any openings.

Appreciate your thoughts

If MI’s allow its obviously fine .
He just doesnt want his rendering spoiling

As long as it complies with the manufacturers instructions then I cant see a problem . Kop

All good if in line with MIs

All good, a baxi and vaillant also allow this. Just needs to be 25mm so as long as it's not touching the soffit or guttering then you are fine

No white allowed outside on a Baxi I believe

Might be an old rule but I've just fit one and the instructions said it was allowed to extend past the eaves/carports etc when necessary

Worcester are ok

And yes Scott baxi dont allow white / flue on show

Looks like I'm wrong, just checked. I was confusing the 25mm measurement from eaves with the same as vaillants etc. But it does appear you can install the flue 25mm away from eaves so long as no other measurement falls outside the minimum specs.

As long as the terminal projects last the guttering but 25mm space around the flue from the soffit.
