Vertical flue - Vaillant

[Old Account]

hi lads,

I wanted to find out how you guys would install this Vaillant vertical flue ?

As I need 500mm distance to the brick wall I’m not to sure how am I going to install the flue through the roof pictures attached.

I’d appreciate your help and advise

Move the boiler?

Move the boiler?

Where too? No chance of moving the boiler anywhere due to the budget :/

Fit it lower and 2x flue bends on top to bring it forward

That’s what I thought but have got another though if that would work.

I wanted to go through the glass panel. I will replace that with non combustible material. It’s just the roof isn’t really a roof of you see the picture it’s like a back board of a cupboard and thin wood with felt. Crumbling already.

Would my idea above work see pictures please?

Will you go as high as the old flue?
I would get a roofer to do the roof

I think you're right..
Go for the glass, as soon as you touch that roof it will crumble to dust. Good luck and keep us updated.

Do Vaillant make a Facade flue in domestic size? if not, ask if it is possible to reduce from the light commercial size at the Boiler end.

No I am not going as high. I am planning on doing the minimum. As said I would like to run it horizontally through the glass. Obviously I would change the glass to something else.

So are you saying I could run flue like this?

I’m not to sure. Last time when I asked somebody told me they don’t do domestic but commercial. I do not want to touch the roof to be fair

Well, you're one there and only you can accurately judge it, but I think it looks like it won't take much for the roof to come tumbling down- unless they plumb for a new roof as well then you're ok to do your bit and roof to be done later?

They are not planning on doing more than it is needed. I am a little screwed with this one but I would judge that the flue will Ben ok when replacing with a non combustible material.

Why are you screwed? If your not happy or they are dictating to you then walk away.

It’s not like dictating it’s just they haven’t got the money to do the roof.. however would you be happy to run the flue through the glass panel and install another panel?

I cannot find any clearances from the mis over the door. I would run the flue sideways and outside I would use another plume kit that should do shouldn’t it?

How about side flue through the window and a plume kit to take the exhaust away from the door?

Might look funny but I haven’t been there to weigh it up only you know that!

That s the way I was thinking though. I'd like to take the window out and replace with a non combustible material. And then I will use a plume kit to divert the fumes
