how can i fix my flu that has been installed wrong

[trevorsparkes]

how can i fix my flu that has been installed wrong, my combi boiler is positioned on a gable end wall and the meter long flu sticks out of the gable end wall, the problem is who ever installed the flu didnt line it up straight it is going up at a 30 degree angle so whenever it rains the water pours right down the flu and into my combi system, it is a vokera linea 7 combi system.

thank you.

that seems to be lined up, but my wall is a meter thick and it goes up gradually the sloop where they cut the hole with diamond core drill

Someone useful will probably be along later.

I don't pretend to know the answer. But it would be worth phoning the makers. I see a variety of flue methods (see no. 3, about page 31) on the cat you can download from http://www.vokera.co.uk/productdeta...8FF6BE-2957-4667-82CB-4491282A56DF}&n=lineahe

I'm assuming you have already complained to the installer.

it wasnt meant to be funny how else where you thinking of doing it

I wondered if it could have a bend or an H on the end? But not something I know about

Kev I hadn't seen your pic when I started my reply.

i dont no how to fix it thats why im on here, i didnt no if i could add something to the outside to stop the water running in or add something to the elbow on the inside to lift it up 2inches as the hole that cut has room to adjust the flu.

 

[kevplumb]

or possibly use 2 x 45 elbow

you need to speak to vokera tech really

 

[gas4you]

If water has been pouring in that bad then you need an RGI to check it over. Could have water in the burner or even have rusted through the combustion chamber box.

Your flue should drop away slightly from the boiler.

Simple. Core a new hole.

G4U, I was under the impression that the flue should fall, slightly, towards the boiler on condensing ones at least. Obviously not 30 degrees!! I had an RGI fail an install due to the fact that the flue was level, not falling towards the boiler...........
