Vokera Vibe Max room sealed?

[nitrochicken]

Hi,

I had a new Vokera vibe max 30 boiler fitted last month and I'm very happy with it so far.
According to the documentation, this is a room sealed boiler like I think most are nowadays, but there seems to be a hole in the bottom of the casing somewhere near the condense drain.
This is fairly large, I would guess around 1 inch diameter and is clearly open to somewhere (can only be the flue) as I can feel a draught coming from this hole especially when it's windy outside. When the boiler is running, I can hear slight whistling noise as if air is being sucked from the room. This noise also stops if I cover the hole with my hand.

Can anyone who has the same boiler confirm if this is normal, or maybe there should be something blanking the hole?

Thanks

Dale

Which one is it? The blanking plate or the one behind the brass nut and copper pipe?

Thanks for the picture, it appears I'm missing the blanking plate from the one on the left then. Should this have come pre installed or did the plumber forget to fit it?

It's an adhesive plate that seems to have come off. Bear with me on this, There's no part number in the spares book I have. Waste of time calling it in for a visit as the engineer will not have one on the van I'm sure. I'll get back to you.

Thanks for your help with this. I assume you must work for Vokera Vulcancontinental?
