Discuss ADVICE PLEASE MINIMUM CLEARANCE ON A COMBI FLUE in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net

Il be honest, I would not be happy with that as a finished job.....
Brick work is horrendous and he’s clearly got the flue too close to the soffit and fascia so cut it to comply with the min 25mm. It’s hard to see exactly how close it it, but I wouldn’t say it’s “condemnable”!

The Pressure relief pipe also needs to face into the wall, not straight down!
Potentially 80+degree water sprayout... needs to hit the wall to cool and dissipate the flow!

Agree with above, looks a mess but apart from the prv, it is technically safe. How is that condensate fixed? Hard to tell on the pic but it looks like the 1 1/4" elbow is just hovering over the condensate pipe. Is there actually a reducer in the fitting?

Air gap but look like the elbows moved as there is a rough cement line where it was
 
Hello
I know I have had other issues as well. I was very disappointed with the work that was done. With hindsight I wish I had used someone else but I trusted this person.

You learn by your mistakes.

Thank you again for all your advice and commnents
It’s great to get some sound. professional and impartial advice.

Much appreciated
Peter

Sorry was driving these are some pics it was a bit messy as I am doing some work to the flat
 
The 2 pictures of the hole is
Where I had taken one of the reads off to plaster. He had just left the hole in the wall where the old heater was. Same in the other bedroom.
As I said I have had several issues.
 
@scott_d intergas and ideal flues look the same, but I couldn’t say if they are the same, I’ve never compared the two side my side!

It would be interesting to see the inside install, but I don’t think the OP will want even more criticism to worry about!! :confused:
