    Min distance between vertical flue and gutter

    The manual of the boiler I would like to buy (i.e. Intergas Rapid Plus 25) shows the following: However my specific set-up is not really showing, do you think I can get away with 25mm distance between the gutter and the vertical flue? Or does it have to be 300mm? Thanks!

    Min distance between vertical flue and gutter

    Hi all, As per diagram below (sorry it was quickly drawn), I would like to install a boiler in a lean-to. The gutters are shown in red, how far does the flue (shown as a thick arrow pointing up) need to be from the gutter (the top gutter in red)?

    Balancing issue since moving from vented to unvented.

    That's correct, the pump moves the water towards the boiler.

    Balancing issue since moving from vented to unvented.

    I cannot see it, it is missing. I can see that kit 230336BAX should come with all the following: I found a shop with the part in stock but they only sell the actual thermostat (other parts such as pipe, metal plate are missing): Can a plumber still install it?

    Balancing issue since moving from vented to unvented.

    He wrote to me "all safety measures in place", I am still awaiting for him to confirm he either installed an overheat thermostat or if there was already one in place. There was one day I was out when he was doing some work, so he might have installed it, though it does not sound promising as he...

    Balancing issue since moving from vented to unvented.

    Balancing issue since moving from vented to unvented.

    @Gasguru I am very impressed, not many people know about this Spartan kit! A lot of the plumbers I got over the years ran away when seeing it. Interesting piece of kit (I attached a brochure if people are interested), but after so many years of loyal service it is now gone. Believe it or not I...

    Balancing issue since moving from vented to unvented.

    I do now have an expansion vessel (though it is grey) and a gauge which the plumber advise to get to 1 bar. Previously the open vented system was fed through a pump (refer to the diagram below): Still using the same pump, the only difference is that the old cylinder and expansion vessel...

    Balancing issue since moving from vented to unvented.

    Thanks Ian, all the issues I described above were with heating only, i.e. with HW demand off. I could get all the radiators to heat up but very challenging, currently I had to shut off 2 radiators completely (TRV + lockshield) from the hallway to ensure the bedroom ones are working. PS: I am...

    Balancing issue since moving from vented to unvented.

    I recently had a vented indirect cylinder (fed by a tank in the loft) replaced by a unvented indirect one (fed by the mains). The plumber left me with a leaking pipe causing the pressure to drop, not a great start. As he never came back to fix the issue, I had to drain the system to replace the...

    Max distance to boundary for vertical flue

    I need to determine the best location to install a combi boiler. Am I right saying that a vertical flue must be at least 30cm away from the boundary? I could not find the details from http://www.a1gassafe.co.uk/pdf/TECHNICAL_BULLETIN_231.pdf but...

    Wire exiting wall into kitchen cabinet.

    Thanks sparkwright, I think the answer to the next question is No but would like to check; is this allowed for an electrical cable to exit a wall without using a flex outlet place, and to go straight into the cabinet unit where a socket would be attached to that cable?

    Wire exiting wall into kitchen cabinet.

    Thanks winston, I am pretty sure to get a METOD Ikea kitchen, the instruction manual for the over unit does not give specific dimension (available from https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/assembly_instructions/metod-base-cabinet-for-built-in-oven-sink-white__AA-2235736-3_pub.pdf) and it looks like the...

    Wire exiting wall into kitchen cabinet.

    I need to get my electrics prepared before a new kitchen is being installed. Regarding the integrated appliances, I was going to get some sockets installed on the wall just behind the oven and dishwasher. However I read it is more convenient to install the sockets inside one of the adjacent...

    New breathable membrane

    Thanks guys, is the Klober Permo Forte definitely a breathable membrane? I am asking because I will only at 25mm gap between the insulation and the slates, hence I am required to use a breathable membrane.
