They say language is innate but I seem to learn it anew each day.

Yes I was of course referring to my stopcock. Metal just seems to be used more and more frugally by manufacturers these days. Before long all valves will be the size of kinder surprise toys but with even thinner shells.

Nice service too.
I change on each service the graphite seal G10, electrodes, clean main heat exchanger, flush it out, clean siphon, drain expansion vessel, re charge the vessel, fga, gas rating and my ****.

To be fair I use a lot of elbow grease as I can’t get hold of a special spray for boilers here in uk. Now, I use hard plastic, soft plastic brushes. I used to buy a toilet brush and cut to size which works very well. Viessmann has got a special tool to clean in between the riffles which is a great tool though.

Once all done I use the supplied lubricant before I close the burner. If the heat insulation foams require changed I always do if required.

On Worcester I am taking the exchanger out which is done in 10min and then flush and brush through.

Tomorrow I’ve got an old turbomax apparently serviced each year will see what I am going to find

I like servicing, installs and repairs. It is a lot to learn and everyday you learn new things.

You could use something like Conel Care 270 that’s designed for oil boilers and gas boilers which have a silicium or stainless steal heat exchanger
