I would telephone Ideal Boilers in Hull for a definitive answer as to
the authenticity of the kit you have fitted to your boiler.


I take your point, but frankly I don't want to drop him in it.


That's an interesting sense of loyalty you've got there - if what he's
fitted is indeed an unauthorised DIY bodge one can only assume he's
probably doing this on other installs too. What if one of these bodges
leads to a situation whereby another owner ends up dying from CO
poisoning due to failure of the flue to vent?


Not that I approve but the alternative to going along with it may be a
condemned installation and immediate disconnection. The installation
appears to be in a covered walkway and if it is, I can't see it meeting
the regs.

CORGI were getting very uptight about flues discharging under covered
walkways prior to their demise and the creation of the gas-safe
register. Why did this installer not use a different flue
configuration?


It doesn't discharge under the walkway - the pipe takes it to the
external wall, then up and out.
