I am fitting an oil heating boiler they never had a flue in the old one it just went into the chimney do you now need a flue or is the chimney good enough second and slightly more important question. The flow and return On the old system they had the pump on the right hand side, on the new boiler the diagram I got the pump is on the left side. I have cut the pipes and ready to fit it the flow and return from the new boiler all came with the boiler can I just reverse the way they had it or will it not work. And todays tip of the day is if you have steel heating pipes and not copper its a hard job putting in new threads on the steel pipes I hired and electric thread cutting tool its a bit like an angle grinding tool but the kick back from it almost pulls your arm off. ![](//storage.proboards.com/7229542/thumbnailer/OGwiXKKuyCiAQCbNMziY.png)

Left or right may not be important. Flow through the system is important. More detailed data required. Can you draw a piping scheme indicating the flow?

If it's still not clear I will be back at the house in August and can take better pictures. ![](//storage.proboards.com/7229542/thumbnailer/eHugioNMtSp0LzqJcHMs.png)

A rather worrying post Assuming that you are a builder correctly registered in the French system and also correctly registered to install oil-fired boilers then you would be aware of the current French regulations for boiler flues. The fact that you are asking for advice on an English forum would seriously worry me if I were your client!

Rather interesting that you would seek to provide more information to someone that has already stated that they are not registered to work in France. Having seen some pictures on this forum of their "building work" which appears to be of a very low quality, I am surprised that you are endorsing their venture into installing oil-fired boilers. An area that they clearly have no knowledge of. This work is closely regulated in France for obvious reasons. People die from incorrectly installed or missing flues from boilers, are you happy to offer advice on this to an incompetent amateur? I am amazed that this forum allows posts from idiots like this.

Hang on. I've gotta go get some popcorn and a coke. This is more entertaining than anything on TV at the moment.

Mysty is certainly not an idiot plus he is fully registered in France. Don't make accusations when you are not aware of the truth of the situation.

Lucky me your not a client. Why would I need to be a registered builder? which im not. Mysty, I know you would not need to be a registered builder to do your work but as a Marchand de Biens am I right in thinking you must still leave a guarantee on some of the works you might do? If so, would that therefore include works you have had done on the boiler?

10 year guarantee on all work including fitting second hand windows doors or roof tiles. It's why so few people do what we do. If we buy a property and someone finds a hidden fault that we did not know about we are liable as we are meant to be professionals. The law needs changed and not sure why I'm answering this at silly o'clock 🙃
That's a serious answer.
