Hi I have an old existing gas fire with a direct balanced flue straight out the back. As I understand it the new replacement gas fire cannot be fitted in the same position because the external flue is within 24inches of a dividing wall. There are no windows/ doors adjacent. Is there a solution such as buying a flue extension kit to vent away from the wall. Any help would be very grateful otherwise I have a £600 gas fire for sale.

If i understand you right, the boundary wall connects onto the your house forming as i would say an L shape with an internal corner less than 600mm from where the flue comes out.
If so looking at the emberglow, it does not have anyway of altering the flue to take it away.
Now if it was already fitted it would just be classed as not to current standard and would probably work perfectly well like the one you already have and the thousands of other appliances out ther
And if by chance someone qualified did fit it i dont think you would ever have any problems.
But by the rules it should not be fitted, if you went for a fan flued fire this can be dropped to 300mm away

Gremlin that measurement is under a car port . There does not seem to be a measurement for facing onto another wall in the dimensions
