Hi, I am a homeowner but caught between a rock & a hard place.
I am trying to get a Vaillant ecoTEC 630 plus serviced but the gas safe engineer & Vaillant engineer say one thing, whilst the SGN engineer says another. I do not know how to proceed and would value some informed advice.
The rock...
I'm on a new build the boiler is in the garage. I have the option of drilling straight out with the condensate in to the stack. Or drilling through from the garage to the house to tee in to the kitchen sink waste. So it's either coring out and coming out with that black dot is.
Hey folks, I'm wondering if someone could possibly help, I'm looking for a possible part number b4 I call ideal in the morning, I fitted an Ideal vogue 6years ago so it's generation 1 vogue c32, I also fitted a RF wireless controller (prt4) The reciever part plugs directly onto the boiler...
Hey,
I'm a new entrant and I've just completed my 2 year training course and have my final week gas assessment next week. I was just looking for some advice on what I can expect? (I'm not asking for answers or cheat sheets, just what the final assessment week intales so I can be best prepared)...
Do you tend to go with the regulations in the gas safe books when installing these. Or the individual manufacturers instructions they all seem different
I’m at a loss with this one. We renovated a run down house and have lived in it now for about 16 months. We had a new Greenstar 8000 Style 35 installed. Just before Christmas - about 12 months after install - we came home to a funny smell like paint, shoe polish etc - a very chemical smell...

Hi all, I recently bought a tenement flat in Edinburgh which has never had gas but is in a stair with a gas supply. Following a survey I have been told I cannot be connected due to new regulations. A boxed in water main is beside the gas main pipe in the stair and impedes the instalation of a...

Hi! I am writing my master's thesis at university. Please help me if you know of any other similar tools. The aim is to find out devices that can be used in case of a gas pipeline failure, for pipeline sectioning. The material of the pipeline is both polyethylene and steel. The pressure limit is...
Hi Guys
Not sure if this is the correct area to post?
Firstly, i'm not doing this work myself but I need to get a question answered as it impacts an outdoor kitchen slab i'm going to pour and need to run pipe or conduit under it.
Having a commercial LPG griddle installed on the outdoor...
Hi there,
Big gas noob here. We got a gas cooker installed a few days ago, and the gas cooker is now sitting quite far away from the wall (3cm which sounds like not much but throws the balance off of the kitchen), which means there's a large gap now between the cooker and the wall, but it now...
Outside of using a gas-safe LPG engineer, do I have to notify building control for the installation of pipework, hob and a 15kg propane bottle?
Folks
Me again
I am at my wits end. I want to replace the boiler but I am on my backside and cannot afford to.
I have been getting an intermittent F L Code. For around a year. I've had an engineer out 4 times.
In that time boiler has had a new PCB, new electrodes, new gaskets, new...
Installed 2 days ago, Worcester 4000. Haven’t seen anything like this before, any thoughts.
Personally I would have gone horizontal with an offset bend in the roof space ( to get minimum distance from boundary) and terminated at the gable end.
I had a boiler check today all went well, and then he went to check on the gas meter which is in my larder in the kitchen high up on the wall.
That wasn’t too much of an issue, although the gas engineer did say that it wasn’t a common place to have it, but it was there when we moved in so...
Hi all
I've got a customer with a kingfisher in a downstairs cupboard with gravity hot water and pumped heating. The cylinder has the vent on the flow to cylinder and cold feed on the return. I plan on installing an 18ri with an s plan kit and wireless cylinder stat. My question is if I pump...
Hi!
I am quickly becoming a hobbyist about all things helium. I was hoping someone would be able to answer my questions about pressure reducers. Thanks for your help!
1. Are pressure reducers universal? Can you switch them across different cylinders?
2. If not is there a system for mixing and...
All,
Belfast, Northern Ireland. I am in a bit of a predicament. I have recently had a stove fitted in a chimney that had a disconnected and capped gas fire. The old gas line went straight out the back wall and was visibly capped a short distance from the gas meter. A simple pull out job. Upon...
I had to gas rate on an E6 meter in a dark, muddy basement the other day. No place to put down tools.
I stayed there for two minutes only to find out the meter index had not updated at all. Obviously the cooker was burning gas.
I press the red button at the beginning and the end.
Has anyone...
If a gas engineer doesn't have CKR1 and has never had. How would they get it do you have to build a portfolio/ do a few days at college?
