Hi,

Just when I thought I was ready to purchase my Combi Boiler, I
remembered the flue!

My boiler will be sited just over 5m from the nearest suitable outside
wall, vertical flueing is not an option, so it has to be horizontal.

I can't find a boiler to suit my needs.

The boiler spec is:

Natural Gas
Combi Boiler
5m+ flue length (prefer single coaxial flue)
Will only need to run 4 radiators
Needs to be able to run a multi head shower

Can you please help me find a boiler to fit the above spec, and a Mail
Order supplier for it?


ISTR that one of the Ideal model s can have a substantial flue length.

You may find that you can have the length you require if you up the size
from 100/60 to 125/80 concentric flues.

Some manufacturers offer an adaptor to go to 50mm (nominal c. 56mm OD)
plastic pipe this might only be for condensing models.

The bottom line is that flue planning is an itegral part of boiler
selection which in turn is only part of the choice of components for a
heating system.
