Vertical flue - Vaillant

[Old Account]

hi lads,

I wanted to find out how you guys would install this Vaillant vertical flue ?

As I need 500mm distance to the brick wall I’m not to sure how am I going to install the flue through the roof pictures attached.

I’d appreciate your help and advise

Move the boiler?

Move the boiler?

Where too? No chance of moving the boiler anywhere due to the budget :/

Fit it lower and 2x flue bends on top to bring it forward

That’s what I thought but have got another though if that would work.

I wanted to go through the glass panel. I will replace that with non combustible material. It’s just the roof isn’t really a roof of you see the picture it’s like a back board of a cupboard and thin wood with felt. Crumbling already.

Would my idea above work see pictures please?

Will you go as high as the old flue?
I would get a roofer to do the roof

I think you're right..
Go for the glass, as soon as you touch that roof it will crumble to dust. Good luck and keep us updated.

Do Vaillant make a Facade flue in domestic size? if not, ask if it is possible to reduce from the light commercial size at the Boiler end.

No I am not going as high. I am planning on doing the minimum. As said I would like to run it horizontally through the glass. Obviously I would change the glass to something else.

So are you saying I could run flue like this?
