Does a boiler have to be on an outside wall

Question

Starting to think about doing a kitchen remodel and would like to move our boiler out of the kitchen. Does it have to be installed on an outside wall? What are our options?

Ian · Answer

Boiler can be sited in many places inside the house. A flue must be fitted according to the manufacturers instructions and comply with gas safety regs. The limitations are that the flue length does not exceed the design maximum length. It requires correct brackets and terminal position inline with MI's and regs.

Hello

No. it can be on internal wall to longest its safe to carry weight for boiler. you need to choose a place and then plumbing need to be replaced to where you thinking to place boiler.

Nabil · Answer

The most simple answer to that question is no it doesn't, but the flue has to exit the property so the further away you have the boiler from an external wall the more the boiler install will cost in parts. Also if any boxing is required around the flue access panels will also have to be installed which will also add to the cost.

No is the easy answer. However the job does become more complex and expensive if it's installed on an internal wall.

Dan · Answer

Boilers can be relocated in any room as long as they are protected against water or humidity as these can cause issues with the electrics internally
What you need to consider is where your gas supply is coming into the house as this is the hardest pipe to get to the Boiler
Also, if it's a a way to convincing Boiler, which it will be where the condense pipework will run into the waste
Do you have the pipes for hot and cold supplies? Are relatively simple
And again, the flow and return pipes for the Central be round from any direction

Tim · Answer

Preferably, but not compulsory.

Some boiler flues can be installed through roofs.

Wayne · Answer

Not necessarily but to keep costs to a minimum the location off an outside wall is always the best location. The flue can go directly out and also the condensation water . The boiler also needs a pressure relief pipe to go outside

Shaun · Answer

Can go on any wall - a lot are in cupboards upstairs just needs the flue to go through the ceiling into attic space and out the roof

Just costly to move the boiler and worth doing if wanted with a boiler replacement

Paul · Answer

No can use a vertical flue kit and exit out of a roof

Dan · Answer

No it doesn’t, as long as it is secure, you can buy flue extensions, but they are limited by the boilers KW rating
