[AWheating]

im after sayin that i spokr to 2 of the biggest flue installer companies out there and they said it was ok to do...i came on here for more advice and im getting barraged with abuse...

does not matter who you spoke to, they cant decide the regulations and you cant make them up to suit your own needs.

Go and reread posts 10, 12 and 14 and then tell me again where you've not been told why it'd be an illegal installation.

What's your gsr number?

im not making them up to suit my needs...doesnt bother me whether its relined or not, the owner wanted to see if there was other options and thats what im doing...at least im asking rather than just doing...im a wall hung boiler installer...only installed a few back boilers so i came on here for some advice

Was written and posted at the same time as your post. Glad you finally saw sense and listened.

Now wind your neck in.

so if you have almost no experience why be so dissmissive about the replys you got from experienced engineers? You could have phoned gas safe and got shot down, you could have phoned the manfacture and got shot down. You got advise from here and argue?? you should know that as an engineer you stick to the regulations for good reason. It would have not been hard for you to find the the answer yourself if you wanted to look through your regs,tech books.

ive been on so many sites about this its doing my head in....2 big companies are tellin me its ok...but i still checked the MI spec...it didnt say anything about the flue in iit..i went onto a load of flue sites and didnt get much info...im just on here looking for advice pal..not on here for agro...again i state,i couldnt be arsed if i have to reline the flue im not being argumentative but when im being threatened its a different story....i was just stating what ive been recommended, but because even after the recommendation i still wasnt happy i wanted to consult this forum to make sure...give me abit of respect

what if i get a 45 degree spigot off the boiler, attach a new flue piece, insert it into the damaged one after cutting the damaged piece off obviously, insert it up a couple of feet and put a heat resistant sealant around the gap...sorted.....no?

have you completed CCN1? this is fundamental safety and is covered in various modules of training, complete flue liner, one entry point for air and one exit point for POC's

 

[kirkgas]

whats wrong with using an adjustible flue liner elbow and attaching onto a spigot..explain "no letal" when its gonna be sealed up?

its not allowed thats why, listen to the expert advice you are being given here
