Gas Flue question.

[Alexgreek88]

We are building a conservatory, but the gas flue is too close to where the conservatory is being built. I heard it was recommended that the flue should have a gap at all sides where it comes out of the wall.

How far away should the vent be away from the wall? and if too close is there any way to make it safe other than moving the boiler?

Please help and its much appreciated.

what boiler?

The flue comes out of the boiler and onto the back wall, and the conservatory wall might be too close to the flue.

I was just wondering what distance should be between the sides of the flue or what could you do to make it safe if the side of the flue is covered?

It would help if we know the make of boiler, and maybe a picture?

Probably best to check in the Installation Instructions that came with the boiler to see what dimensions are required by the manufacturer. If the required dimensions cannot be met with your proposals you have two choices:- 1. Move the boiler; 2. Redeisgn/move the conservatory. There is nothing else you can do to satisfy the gas safety regulations.
