Gas-Boiler Flue Redirection - Horizontal to Vertical Transistion

Wolfsbane2k

Hi.

I've currently got a baxi non-condesing boiler fitted to my house which is partially blocked by a shed.

It's currently using a rear flue, which i wanted to direct updates using a vertical flue kit,.

I'm being told conflicting information if this is possible or not.

current arrangement:

     ____             ________
            |      __|    Garage
   Shed     |     |XX| <- Flue          
            |        |

Wanted:

                  ___   < New vertical flue
                  |||  
     ____         |||    ________
            |     ||| __|    Garage
   Shed     |     ||||XX| <- Flue          
            |           |

Note - i don't want to go straight up from the boiler through the garage roof as there is a lot of plumbing and wiring mounted on the wall

Is this allowed/possible? I'm trying to avoid tearing down the shed - i've spend this weekend trying to move it and not had much luck.

Thanks!

it might be possible, but the only person who can advise is a Gas Safe registered fitter after a site visit and by reference to the manufacturer's installation instructions for your particular boiler.

Pictures taken when first looking at the problem. I've since placed a sheet of alu over the shed roof to stop burning until i can move the shed or move the flue.

Found formal documentation stating that 90* bends are not allowed to current standards ( section 7.12 of http://www.gassaferegister.co.uk/pdf/GIUSP_Edition_Consumer_web_site_Version_-_2_April_12.pdf ) so I can't get any gas-safe engineer to add this legally.

That's all i wanted to know - thanks!
