Hy all,
Do oftec regs allow passing of the oil feed through the foundation wall under floor space if the feed pipe is installed in a fire proof steel tube? I wondered if it would help me overcome an installation problem perhaps with a fire valve at either end of the feed as it enters and exits...

Sorry for a long post but we have a complicated thermal store situation
Over the summer we had a new solid fuel stovax back boiler installed and upgraded our hot water storage tank to a thermal store.
We have not had reliable hot water since. Initially we only used the emersion and after...
Had a call early today to a Grant 36e internal combi.
Fault was no heating but had hot water.
Turns out various engineers had visited and the customer has lost faith.
Forts thing I noticed was an array of parts strewn across the floor, solenoid, oil pump, pressure switch, 2 air vents and a flow...
Does anyone know the
difference between the model B9a burner installed on the Worcester Heatslave 12/14, and the B9b in the 15/19?
On the face of it there doesn’t seem to be much difference.
Unfortunately the B9a that I have got has had bits robbed off it so it’s difficult to do a direct...

Is there anyone out there who has come across this problem.
Our boiler locked out so pressed the reset button and it seemed that all was fine. Red light went out and fan started etc. About an hour later noticed nothing seemed to be warming up. But motor was still running and no lockout. Called...

possibly looks like it has been touching the oil line nut. But sheathing should protect it
Thanks
Boiler is Worcester Heatslave external 18/25. We were notified of a pending power-cut for today a few days ago. Electricity was due to be off for 12 hours but fortunately came back on after about 6. I assumed that I'd be able to draw the hot water from the 51 litre tank whilst the power was off...
Hi - Our Rayburn 400K mainly runs low as a heater as we have LPG cooker. Yesterday (Christmas Day) I turned the control up to 8. It heated until the Thermodial needle got into the Roast sector, then it cut out and did not kick in again until it had cooled off - useless for roasting tatties! I...
We have recently moved into a propery which has this Tiffel oil boiler installed.
The boiler kicks in when I have the setting on water only.
the screen shows 14 degrees
It may need the boiler programming or maybe another issue.
can’t find any instructions on line in English.
so any advise would...

Hi,
I'm still getting used to oil after converting from wood pellets.
I'm fairly happy with it's operation, but slightly adjusting temperatures to get as low return temp, while keeping house & DHW hot enough.
Anyway, I've always believed that when the flue had a white plume exiting, it was a...
Bit of help on the regulations please?
An external oil boiler (metal case) sited outside the house but contained in a slightly larger wooden enclosure (foot bigger in all directions, ie not a shed).
Would it be acceptable to place the fire valve inside the wooden enclosure?
Whos' best for servicing Kane FGAs?
Do you send them back to Kane or use an independent?
Hello all, we just moved into a house with a oil Rayburn range as the primary source of heating, but it has been off for about 10 years. We havent had any luck finding an engineer or knowledgeable person due to our extremely remote location and covid 19.
