Gas flues - Regulation 7 (3)
« on: July 17, 2019, 10:10:21 AM »
Morning all

Do we know what's the stance on gas flues in relation to materials exempt - obviously not on the current list, will this change as this will have a massive impact of gas boiler installations, not heard much on this as yet so any information would be great.

Thanks

Mmmm this could be a Biggy. I understand that if a condensing boiler has  a plastic flue liner (and this would be likely due to corrosion) then this is a problem as nothing flammable, particularly from a source of ignition, should be positioned must to the external surface of a building. We don't want that cladding etc catching fire...... I presume this question will keep on being pushed back to Building Control but for now I believe there is no definitive answer. As a colleague pointed out to me what does this mean for plastic water over flow pipes etc. Best seek higher authority than myself.
