I recently asked about replacing a back boiler on here and the help given was very useful. Unfortunately due to some stupidity on our part I need some advice on fitting a flue extension.
Our new boiler is a Worcester Greenstar HE 28 Condensing System type which we have had installed in our basement. The standard horizontal flue has been fitted which goes out the back of the house near to a shared back path. Out neighbours have already commented on the excessive steam being produced. We have decided it will be necessary to raise the flue outlet so I have some questions.
- Can the Worcester extension parts be used externally? This is the most important bit as extending internally could be very problematic
- If No.1 is possible can the vertical outlet be used on the side wall of the house? The diagrams on the product information show this part on roofs but it would be helpful if this can be used on the side wall near to the back window.
- If 1 & 2 are Ok to do my rough measurements indicate that we will need the following piping to get the required distance up the house
- Bend connector, 1 metre horizontal extension, bend connector,
1-meter vertical extension, Vertical outlet unit.If none of the above is possible then we'll probably have to resite the boiler in the kitchen which, although possible will be a real pain and will completely c*ck up the plans for our new kitchen
Any help or advice will be gratefully received
Cheers
