Default New boiler flue location

Hi

Thanks Christian

I have a drain in the cellar so that sholdn't be too much of a problem.

No problem. In fact, it is often only possible with a condensing boiler, as
the flue operates at such a low temperature.

You may have trouble getting rid of the condensate in a cellar installation.
Consider a condensate pump, such as a Sanicondens, to pump it away to the
drain. Do not accept the condensate just dripping onto the ground, like most
cowboy installers would have you believe is acceptable.
