Hi all.
I will be fitting a Bosch combi to a kitchen wall that is about 3 feet from
the
outside wall through which the flue will be directed.

My question is, is the external surface (outer tube) a danger if it is
installed
in such a way that it touches timber joists or electric cables (earth cable)
?

Thanks.

When I installed my boiler a few years ago and waded through all
the relevant regs and British Standards, ISTR that one of them
says flues must be at least some distance (an inch or two, can't
remember) from any timbers. There was no relaxation of this for
plastic flues even. May have changed since then though.
