Visual check of boiler install

[jfb]

How does this install look?

my two concerns, firstly the flue is only supported by the hole in the ceiling - I’d imaging it should have a fixing to the wall.

secondly the overflow pipe that goes into soil pipe - can that really just drain into an open connector?!

Drain connector is definitely wrong.  you will get drain smells from there.  Should be via a trap, probably a waterless trap.

@jfb, This is amongst the laziest installs I have ever seen. Near zero GAF.

 

The open connector off the SVP is just comedy meeting shamefulness. Absolutely horrendous.

 

Do you have some pics of the flue in the attic, with clamps / brackets etc? Most of my concern will be seeing sufficient support and self-tappers securing every single flue component to the next. In the room I see 1 such fixing, whereas there should be a minimum of 1 more on the 90 bend heading vertically.

 

The lack of clips overall is poor, but the condensate is just utter wank....

 

What consumer unit is in the house? If it's anything predating 18th edition then they should have erred on the side of caution and added cross (equipotential) earth bonding to the 5 pipes under the boiler (the 6th is the PRV which is discounted for bonding).

 

Where the gas pipe comes through the masonry wall, is that sleeved?

 

Overall, it's a 3/10.
