Combi boiler with rear flue

[SydDenham]

Draw a box 2m below and 600 either side if it's in that box it's a no go

Thanks for that.

In the Vokera Manual I can see the 600mm measurement if to side of a Velux and the 2000mm measurement if below but no indication of the relevant measurement when the flue is not directly to the side nor directly below. It makes sense however to have a measurement for that scenario - I was relying on Vokera Technical who said,

"Yes, that would be fine. As long as the 300mm clearance to the slate is maintained and it is at least 300mm from the velux window ."

Do you happen to have a source to the diagram you describe please?

I'll draw Vokera Technical's attention to your post to see if they have a comment.

Thanks again.

Thanks - nicely evidenced!

Very long shot but I don't suppose English regs are less onerous than Scottish ones?

You should really get a gs engineer in to spec this do you.

Here's a section - excuse the scribbled "computer writing". The flue is just long enough to give a tightest dimension to slate of 300MM

cant have the flue protruding by 300mm anyway - unless they've changed it, then no white of flue to be showing.

that cant be accurate!
the flue on the vokera rear extension cannot be cut down less than ''375mm'' i think it is?
that means there will be white showing on non-cavity walls!!

Good point chaps. Think it's been decided that the flue can't go where he wants it anyway

Being told previously by Vokera tech that the white is not uv rated and will rot over time if in sunlight but may have changed.
