So in your case - this will probably require pumping from the cellar. Cellar is dry, boiler would be mounted in my heated workshop 2. Room above is our Breakfast Room, can't bring flue up through floor. Thought might have been able to get more height by taking flue into under floor space of B'fast Room, but unfortunately the joist runs parallel with the outside wall and would have to cut through - can't be done.
Can I take flue out at less than mm providing the inlet and outlet are ,say 3m above ground level i. Can such flues be obtained? I have a drain for condensate in my workshop which has a sink. Will be very grateful for any further comments Thanks again Peter. To go through a wall you use the horizontal flue terminal. What's outside? A horizontal flue would come out just above an ashphalted surface.
I had thoughts along the same lines i. Could make a grille to protect from leaves. Gloworm have a plume management kit which takes air in where the flue comes out through the wall and takes the exhaust up the wall to discharge at a higher level.

However, as is the case with loft boiler installations, you will need to ensure that your system has frost protection and pipe insulation as this area can get cold, especially in the winter.

LPG is verboten as the gas is heavier than air and oxidises very easily at a rapid rate. Darren Jackson Esteemed. Fitting a boiler in a cellar is perfectly acceptable, providing all the regs are met regarding fluing, condensate discharge, frost protection and a whole host of other criteria. Messages 5, As above acceptable as long as the regulations are all satisfied.
Messages I assume they can all flood occasionally. Ours is certainly wetter than a garage say. Never good to give them a way of weaselling out of a claim. Post reply.
