Thinking of having the boiler moved and one possible position would place the
outlet to the side of an openable window. Its only a small 50000 BTU boiler and the original handbook says 300mm - is this still the current requirement ? Thanks, Nick |

Yes I believe so, Go to Wicks diy site and their leaflet on fitting their
combi system and they have diagrams of do's and donts for flue outlets "nick smith" wrote in message ...

Depends on the boiler - fanned flue models have much more relaxed spacing requirements than the onl unfanned balanced flues. Mfrs websites often have online installation manuals with details of spacing. Do you mean moving the existing boiler or replacing it? You _must_ have the manufacturer's instructions in order to reinstall the boiler elsewhere, and these will have the spacing instructions. |

Mine is about 1.5 meters and still smells in the room wih the opening window if the wind blows. Won't kill you, just smells that way :-) |
