Two days ago I serviced a Powermax 155x and noticed that the installers have set up the flue in a way that doesn't comply with the MI. AS I was having my GSR inspection today, it was a pertinent subject and the inspector said that he would class it as AR.
[It] leaves the boiler vertically and enters the loft. All fine there. When you look in the loft, the flue exhaust travels horizontally to the gable wall and exits there but, the air intake travels for two thirds of the exhaust and, terminates inside the loft. This termination of the air intake only applies to a flue with a ridge terminal according to the MI.
I called the Baxi tech support line and all they said was that it can't be AR because it's been working fine for 10 years and, because I wanted them to put this in writing to cover my back, I have to email their tech dept.
Any thoughts?
