Worcester Junior vertical flue

[mvrobb]

Im having deep deep deep discussions with an architect about flues from a new boiler. He wishes to take the flue up thru' the attic and out through a ridge vent. I prefer it to go out the wall of the kitchen.
Q: Can a Junior 28 flue be terminated via a ridge vent. My belief was that it couldnt as its fan assisted and not open flued.

Many thanks.

If they do a purpose made vent for the boiler then yes. Not sure about wb, but gw and vaillant do one

Nothing in either of these about ridge terminals. I'd give them a call to double check though.

I'd also check the maximum flue length, pretty short on Juniors.

Via ridge 100% NO! You can upgrade to the 5" flue for longer vertical
Runs, don't guess the price it is a lot more expensive than the standard 4"
