Aaargh.
Just putting together a quote for a replacement boiler into a the middle of a house. The condensate, flue etc is no problem but Id forgotten about the fire valve...
Anyone any ideas (except for 'put the boiler somewhere else....')

:blush5:
 
Doesn't it say somewhere in the regs that you can put the fire valve in at point of entry in cases like this?
 
Yes, they say you can upgrade the safety by fitting a remote firevalve where it appears out of the floor, in circumstances where boiler is in middle of property, with concrete floors etc giving no chance of fitting it externally. Doesn't comply with regs.
Is there not a firevalve you can buy that can be bought for these circumstances? Try asking OFTEC?

Aye. If you cant get it external then its first point of entry into the property.

Viessmann external flue run conundrum
Hi all. Hope you have all been keeping well. A while back I decided I only wanted to fit one brand of boiler and decided on Viessmann due to space for servicing and changing parts if ever needing to. I am finding my decision rather hard due to the different clearances on flue runs and cupboards...

Ideal Logic 24, Previous problem was that the hot water was only cold or barely warm if the heating was in use. If heating was off and boiler cold then would get hot water most of the time. Changing the flow cartridge about 2 years ago (when I moved in) solved this problem enough to suffer it as...
