Im an RGI but am mainly doing servicing. However fitted a Condensing combi at my dad's house, and just need clarification on a couple of points.
According to the M.I, i'm allowed 200mm under the eaves which i have, and although i'm aware i need a heat shield to protect the paintwork on eaves, is it possible to just protrude the flue further from the wall to clear the plume from the eaves? At the moment it's about 450mm out from the wall and does not look out of place and is over 2m from finished ground level.
Also the condensate is draining into a washing machine type upstand trap. I have about a foot of plastic pipe connected to the flexible drain as it comes out of the boiler so it enters into the trap by a good 6 inches. Does this entry need to be sealed closed or is it ok to have it this way?
Regards
