It SHOULD be water only due to H&S being a diyer I can choose to ignore those. Fill it with water then pump up, be minimal air volume.

Really

What if any cleaning steps should be done. In emails he said that a water flush through will be carried out. Seeing as its brand new everything and plastic piping is that all that's required.
plastic piping now its becoming clearer any alarm bells ringing shaun , harvest , town ?
 
It appears like your quite competent, just go ahead and do it. Air testing plastic pipework ain't a brilliant method for tightness testing but it better than no test

The best I can do short of hiring a hydraulic tester, is to fill with water and pump up the air will at least rise to the high points so everything else will be hydraulic tested. I'm pretty sure there won't be any leaks the bits I have done so far have held 2 bar overnight.
 
I am not questioning your method or ability. Its only water and it only your home

Most of us prefer a system to be completely copper
 
Air compresses, water doesn't. Plastic pipes have to be pressure tested to the mi's. Or no claims on failure.

Should be 10 bar water at fault the system can go to 3 and test needs to be at least 11/2 times that
 
Yes well that's what he's said
It is. I'd have a crack at the boiler but I have enough on my plate, want the warranty and I just can't be bothered doing the boiler as well. The plumbing is easy, radiators on the walls copper risers then plastic for the rest, supported every 300mm, insulated to water bylaws in the cold areas, as thick as I can go every where else especially in the DHW.

You are correct mate, plumbing radiators is easy. With the regs they have stopped DIY installs for competent people. The last few jobs I've seen have all had plastic pipe.

Lacking in detail as to the work so ive asked them to add more but its in the same ballpark.
 
Sorry but they shout eco scheme company to me (normally low standards)

Maybe wrong
 
Any chance of a pic ?
 
Took them two days in total, first day the boiler and the pipework went in, filled it up and left it over night.
Second day they drained and flushed through, fitted the flue and wired it in, setup Evohome.

Liking Evohome, very convenient having each room a different temperature and only heated when required. I just need to repipe the hot water a shorter route to the kitchen. Currently goes up to the bathroom then to the other side of the house, then down to the dining room and along and round the kitchen.
 
Looking good

Me personally I would get the pipes lagged need prob length and a bit of both 22 and 15 x 9mm
 
Looks a good job
Is it in a garage?

Yes. The old boiler was on the other side of the garage and had the pipes go all round the garage before going into the house. So for this one I thought on the house wall would be best so the pipes can go straight in.
