And we have all seen proper filling loops with one tap onIt was my understanding that you required two taps by regs anyway?
You can see why you have the NRV on the cold, as it's less of a dead leg.

Should be. But how many customers actually remove it though.But there’s no dead leg because the hose should be removed
I wasn't disputing the fact that the hose shouldn't be removed, I was just simply stating that hardly anyone actually removes the link.No but I’m arguing regs if you say there should be two taps then the hose should also be removed. Sorry I’m not being pedantic I’m genuinely querying. I cannot see what difference it makes what the reasoning is for the nrv on cold
You're right, there isn't one when the hose has been removed. But my point kind of was, no one ever removes the hose.Oh I totally agree with two taps don’t get me wrong but to me it’s logical to stop the heat at the return end so there is no inadvertent heating of the cold side. I cannot see where a dead leg occurs if there is no hose though.
Sorry to sound blunt but your title is immediately accusatory. If in fact it was a builder or a plumber that worked on the boiler and not a gas safe engineer then I’m afraid the fault lies with you
Thanks Riley, the only problem I now have is, the extension build is new and I have not signed off on the builder's snagging list. So a small final payment is due. I don't know whether I should trust him to put it right or to call in a known good plumber to rectify his work.
Didn’t say to fit a zone valve did I. OP alluded to the rebuild of the boiler which I was questionningWhy do you need to be gas safe to fit a zone valve?
As you say however you are well within your rights also to refuse access if you feel they have acted outside scope or unlawfullyLegally the original contractor is entitled to be given reasonable opportunity to put the situation right. You’re well within your rights to insist the work is undertaken by a competent person. Sounds very like you have the experience to decide for yourself if the guy is flanneling you.
