on our british gas yearly safety inspection, the reports show the flue of our boiler is not to current standard. It was when it was fitted. It is the large square type.
It is approx. 7 inches from vertical soil stack,
5 inches below horizontal bath waste pipe (corroded heat deflector here), and about 6 inches diagonally from a window (2 feet from a window that opens).
What's changed recently in the gas regs (if there is such a thing)? any ideas? Which part of the above is "not to standard" but was 15 years ago? If we got a newer boiler with a smaller flue, would it be "to standard" then?
Would BG install a new boiler here, if it meant the flue was still not to standard?
just curious
