Locating flu for new boiler

[mowerman2]

Care of the Warmfront/eagerheat scheme I've just had a new boiler installed. It's a Baxi Solo 18HE. It doesn't fire up and I'm awaiting a visit from an engineer but that's another story.
The boiler which was removed had an unobtrusive balanced flu oulet on the house front wall. The new boiler has a tube exiting the wall and halfway up to the eaves! It looks appalling. The fitter said those were his instructions as new building regs required that the outlet had to be more than 300mm from a window.
Can this new boiler have a balanced flu outlet without the need for the tubing?

To OP.
The flue on a boiler is and has to be exactly as specified by the manufacturer.
Search the forum on warmfront, and you will see that an unsightly flue is the least of your worries.



Better than an ideal I suppose, but to call the owner of a solo lucky?

An inspector has to call to check everything so after his call I'll post a photo.
