fatality in GS mag

[Billy Bob Bob]

my understanding of it was he damaged the bend and the flue came out possibly dis lodged the rubber seal,did not make good a bit of fan pressure or co rate out =explosive ignition for arguments sake never fitted right flue dis lodged

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

gas man aswell as self tapers shouldnt it have tape as well usually comes with the flue if not then have some on the van

tape is not allowed on any flue joint,they must be inspectable

 

[shorticus]

can't believe he only got 5 years

Yes that would make more sense as I cant belive that hed just leave it unconected.

why do they give it to you then,with the flue seen it on loads ive took out going tho the cavity

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

still when these sad events happen,me like every other RGI on here it scares the s*** out of you because we can all sleep at night we do it right but.....we have concisenesses this guy did not thats the difference, sad none the less

 

[metaldust9]

quite agree with ye there gas man

It's bad enough what the idiot did, but according to the article he showed no remorse during the trial and was extremely arrogant. If I did anything that endangered someones life, let alone kill them, I could not live with myself.

Used on telescopic flues. with a self tapper.

mi,s again metal dust they contravene the gsiur but we have to comply,that does not make it right

Couldn't agree more. Its been made compulsory on all solid fuel appliances.....

Think they're missing the point though!

Just got the issue through

Think this guy was trying to hurt someone,could have been trying to become a serial killer !

Out of 150 of his boiler installations checked,47 were found classed as 'at risk',immediately dangerous',or reportable under riddor !!

Anyone who has run a boiler with the flue not connected,will know you can tell straightaway by the noise and you would sense the fumes almost straight away

Think there are mental issues here,as said ,think he was trying to hurt someone,5 years is a joke,taking above into account

imho

Mr Ellis... rest in peace and sincere condolences to family and friends

Gotta agree with this Puddle 5 Years is never enough he should be hung in my opinion that way no remorse could be shown to him, its scary to think about he passed the same tests we all have and thats what he does with it thats just a joke

never said it was right gas man ,just wondered why they supply it/them with the flue ,all a bit naughty to me,an wasnt saying i would do it that way but shorley its safer to use the tape than none atall and you get stuff happening like this bloke if ye get my point ,obviously you have to go by the mi,s wasnt on about rules or regs was just making a general point most flues are fixed its only them worcester telescopic ones that it comes with,its just open invertation for someone to use it if its there.
