Can a gas boiler flue be extended?
The flue terminal is about 850 mm long and is normally cut shorter when installed. If yours exits behind the boiler then all that is likely to be needed is a new terminal. Otherwise if 850 mm is not long enough then an extension can be fitted to lengthen the existing terminal unit.Click to see…

Also question is, how long can a gas boiler flue be?The design and diameter of the flue will determine its maximum allowable length. For example, a 60/100mm concentric flue fitted to a system or combi boiler can be a maximum of 10m long.Furthermore, can you move a boiler flue? All boilers use a flue system but if your boiler is no longer in production, you may not be able to find the right flue – and you can’t reuse your old one. Without a new flue, you won’t be able to move your current boiler. Ultimately, moving an old boiler can end up almost as expensive as fitting a new one. Also to know, is boiler flue gas dangerous? The gases that the boiler flue disperses outdoors, including carbon monoxide, are potentially harmful, which is why the regulations surrounding them are getting stricter. Boiler flue regulations ensure that the gases being expelled don’t re-enter the home, which would instantly make the flue redundant.How many bends can you have in a flue?A chimney cannot have more than four bends and no bend can be more than 45 degrees (except if you use a 90 degree “T” off the rear of the stove). If you are are going out through a wall then you will be using two 45 degree bends straight away and have two left if you need them.
