Worcester Greenstar 30Si Gas Valve changeover

[Spreck]

Hi Guys,

has as anyone had to do a conversion from the old gas valve on a Worcester Greenstar 30Si to the new one they are supplying now?

it looks like it might be an a*se? Seems it comes ready for 28kw and you need to faff to settle the Co/Co2 ratio change over some lovely plastic connections to enable changeover ((I'm not a lover of plastic parts in boilers although the norm now damn cost reductions! (Not passed on to us!!!))

Ratio I can sort but looking for any tips tricks angles of insertion? Only clean posts I know it's tempting!

Ok update...
if you have access to the left hand side of the boiler it would be a lot easier to get the valve fixing screws in and out. If not out with the old style condense trap ,short PZ1 required as condense mounting riveted! Bit tight on space to get the new valve connection onto the pushfit so I'd do it first in hindsight easier to make the rubber hose connection and grab clip in after.

if no access on left allow yourself another half hour of swearing at grazed knuckles when pricing!

hope this helps in the future.
