Boiler flue

dan77714 · 27 Oct 2015

hi all
I have recently been told by a boiler engineer that my boiler flue is too close to my openable window. He advised getting some sort of extension pipe fitted to the existing flue that goes upward and then outward in a sort of s shape. What would I need to buy to do this? Would a standard flue kit work?
Note: I am not fitting a new flue to the boiler, just hoping to add some pipe to the end of the existing flue to extend it. Is this possible?

Thanks

What boiler is it? Flue work is not for diyers.

It is a Baxi combi 105 boiler. Of course, I do not intend on tampering with the existing installation,I just wanted to know if there's a way of adding some sort of extension.

I think he is reffering to a pmk which you cant get for this boiler!

As said, flue kit is not available, just live with it as its been there over 12 years or more. If products of combustion are entering the window, that's something that can be addressed, ......close the window.

How close to opening is it?

It is around 150mm ish from the window I think. I can't measure it right now as I'm not at home but it's definitely under 300mm

This definitely falls into the "life's too short" list of things to worry about.
