ADVICE PLEASE MINIMUM CLEARANCE ON A COMBI FLUE

[Peter T]

Good Afternoon

Please can anyone confirm what the minimum distance the top of the flue pipe should be from the eaves and guttering if the flue is extended so the end of the flue is past the fascia and gutters and releases any gasses
into the open air. I have an Intergas 28/24 combi boiler
In the manual it says that minimum distance from the eaves is 200mm and gutters 75mm, but these measurements apply to a wall terminal and not a flue that is not extended beyond the fascia and gutters.

I have been told that on Valliant boilers the minimum distance in this scenario is 25mm.

Any advice will be much appreciated. The boiler has been fitted by a gas safe engineer for two years and I worry the clearance is not correct.

Thank you
Peter

25mm normally aslong as it’s past the front of the gutters

If not anywhere from 200-300 mm

As Shaun says but here's the proof to put your mind at ease

Hello Shaun
Thank you for your swift response. It should be ok then but the engineer cut it into the fascia board when fitting it so I have always been concerned and it doesn’t look good . I think he could have lowered the boiler when he fitted it but took the easiest option .
Thanks again
Peter

You been worrying about this for two years?

 

[Peter T]

I see it every day and it niggles you when you see it. But the chap who installed it assured me that it was ok. But I have wanted to change the soffit boards so I was always worried there wasn’t enough clearance but it should be ok now.
Yes I do over analyse things
Thanks again

Not great but nothing unsafe
