Look at my post here to see how a RGI left my boiler flue! http://www.diynot.com/forums/plumbing/vaillant-flue-fall-2nd-post-remedial-pics.387440/ I followed the rules and got a gas safe engineer who was a numpty.

The flue does stick out too much valiant say it should stick out by 87mm only

From floor to bottom of flue is 2.1m?

Hi Dan Do you mean how far the flue exits the external bricks? Cheers

Dear All Following on from my previous post below earlier in the week: http://www.diynot.com/forums/plumbing/vaillant-flue-fall-with-pic.387040/ The contracts manager of the fitting company attended after a strong phone call from me armed with info from you chaps and saw the state it...

Thanks very much all for the help and advise, its much appreciated. Merry Xmas.

Thanks Sir - do you mean the white collar with the vaillant logo on? If so I need a shorter collar to allow the elbow to push in further onto the boiler manifold?

I would just use Gripfill in all honestly.

Good point can someone clarify if the Vaillant 418 is suitable for this set-up?

Do you mean here ? with the pump moving directly above:

Going to get a Magnaclean 2 - what do you recommend?

No Idea - have just moved into this house and not used to the system (i'm used to Combi's. Anyway pic below of higher up one pipe goes up into the loft and the other has a bleed valve type thing on it.

Hi All I cannot fit a magnaclean above my boiler so have to revert to a secondary position within the airing cupboard. - photo attached. From this pic what is the best position to fit the Magnaclean?

lol cheers - I know that most errors are install related but I also cannot help thinking that this can also be a failure on the part of Vaillant. This is the difference between being good and world class if their systems are overly fussy as in essence their product has to be fitted to many...

Many Thanks for the comprehensive reply its greatly appreciated. I will proberly go for a Grundfos Alpha 2L 15-60 as this seems to be the one now that replaces the normal 15-60. Will it have the same distance between unions as my current Wilo? Thanks Again Merry xmas
