how many right angle bends can be used in a flue for a condensing boiler
due to the loaction of the boiler means the flue needs to be routed out through 3 right angle bends with a total length of 2m.
the boiler will be a budget priced combi boiler ideal standard or similar for about 500 quid, or thereabouts ,
The flue cannot be placed directly outside the wall where the boiler is located, so 3 right angle bends will be needed.
(PS. Don't be paranoid, I am not doing the installation myself, but a qualified installer will and he has suggested that I relocate the boiler where the flue can be taken out directly through the wall with no bends, but then this brings in more complications for plumbing, meaning there is no direct connection for condensate discharge and the condensate pipe will need to cross a door way, so my plumber (installer) suggested using a condensate pump, to pump the condensate over the door, but also the new loaction means both cold and hot water pipes as well as the Gas pipes will need to be reloacted, and so more work and more costs and i don't want pipes running underfloor.)
Currently the house uses warm air heating, so this is being phased out and replaced by a wet radiator CH and a combi boiler.
