Really, who cares.

The customer will care when their brand new boiler is wrecked with water damage cos the flues not sealed properly

Worcester actually show it in their books.

Are we talking about a join showing or 1 inch of white flue on show outside

if your talking about the later then half the contries boilers are knackered and i bet 90% of installers on here have at some time had a bit showing

 

[buckley plumb]

an inch or more . baxi say non should be on show unless under eaves. like the poor examples on here I know there is a hole around the flue and its near a window and the other is near a vented eaves and extending it is still not acceptable just examples and seen them this long under circumstances

Did u just fit that valliant/snow perm?

 

[novicegas]

Vaillant instructions say the tip of the flue should be 83mm to the external wall in order to fit in the collar. Easy for a technical advisor to say its fine when the MI's don't

Valliant also show a hacksaw cutting flue.... For those of us who have actually done it it's more like hacksaw deforming the foil and cutting plastic inner!!

So what do you cut your flues with if not a hacksaw?
