Hello, Some considerable while ago I installed a 65F fan flue boiler
in my home, replacing the old unit and utilising the existing flue
hole through the wall. Her indoors now wants fitted wardrobes. This
means the boiler will have to be moved about 6 inches to the left.
My question is: Is one prevented from having other than a straight
through flue from this type of boiler, or can one put in two 45 degree
offsets, thereby bringing the pipe straight out from the outside wall
but at a distance from its original position?

Many thanks
Heeley

Yes...
Provided you use the correct bends (pricy I expect) and don't exceed the
maxmimum equivalent [1] flue length as specified by the manufacturers in
the instructions.

[1] That's the flue length adding on the effect of the bends usually 1m
per elbow.

Ring Halstead and ask for their tech dept. They will give you name of the
dealers, or may sell direct being a Wickes unit.
