    HI all, finished fitting the above boiler yesterday. Straight swap, side access flue with only the elbow off the boiler. Gas pressure 21mbars on full chaff. (right by the supply) when doing the co checked, minimum was as expected- 3ppm, .0.0000, and about 7,8% Max on the other hand was 240ppm...

    VAILLANT ECO TEC PLUS 835

    Installed the above boiler today. They quote 14 ltrs per min hot water. Looking at the heat exchanger, it does not look any different in size to the 832 (well I know, its only 3kw more!), but comparing this to the 838, that heat exchanger is nearly double the size? and the flow rate on that is...

    Corona virus and sole traders working

    thanks for the advice. I have decided to take a 12 week break due to this as most of my customers for that period are all elderly. I would imagine we will be in lockdown by the end of the week anyway, due to the cretins who still think nothing is wrong. stay safe.

    Vaillant 838 operations

    THANKS FOR THE ADVICE. i did it at 22mm since it was such a small run, but if it plays up again ill run it in 28mm. in all honesty i forgot to do the external test point. I normally now fit the Vogue boilers which have them in the valve itself which is much better. thanks for the reply

    double sealed inspection chamber

    i know you have to fit a double sealed chamber if the unit is in a habitable room, but do you have to fit one if it is in an integral garage, or can it be an external one?

    sewage question

    Well the final result is, that I spoke to a really helpful chap at the water company. I have had to pay nearly £900.00 to apply to remove the drain, which I would have to do myself, which they might still say no to. Some provisos are that I re fit all pipework with approved material and ends...

    External expansion vessel.

    Well, I have to go back to a heating job where the boiler expansion vessel needs changing,. For a number of reasons I intend fitting an external one. I am going to put it below the boiler using a half inch to 15mm adaptor, to 15mm then to a flexible hose to connect to the return to the boiler...

    sewage question
