Folks
Me again
I am at my wits end. I want to replace the boiler but I am on my backside and cannot afford to.
I have been getting an intermittent F L Code. For around a year. I've had an engineer out 4 times.
In that time boiler has had a new PCB, new electrodes, new gaskets, new...
Could someone work out total KW input for the following applying the diversity factor.
36 KW combi
24 KW combi
Cooker 12.9kw
It would appear according to gas Safe that my original assessment was wrong that they had exceeded badge capacity of a U6 as I didn't apply diversity factor.
Now the...
Installed 2 days ago, Worcester 4000. Haven’t seen anything like this before, any thoughts.
Personally I would have gone horizontal with an offset bend in the roof space ( to get minimum distance from boundary) and terminated at the gable end.
I had a boiler check today all went well, and then he went to check on the gas meter which is in my larder in the kitchen high up on the wall.
That wasn’t too much of an issue, although the gas engineer did say that it wasn’t a common place to have it, but it was there when we moved in so...
Hi all
I've got a customer with a kingfisher in a downstairs cupboard with gravity hot water and pumped heating. The cylinder has the vent on the flow to cylinder and cold feed on the return. I plan on installing an 18ri with an s plan kit and wireless cylinder stat. My question is if I pump...
Hi all,
My customer is renovating a house. Complete renovation of the plumbing.
It's a three-bed house for a young family of 3. It will have one main bathroom (bath and maybe an over-bath shower), plus two shower ensuites.
I have yet to check the incoming water pressures/flow rates to the...
Hi!
I am quickly becoming a hobbyist about all things helium. I was hoping someone would be able to answer my questions about pressure reducers. Thanks for your help!
1. Are pressure reducers universal? Can you switch them across different cylinders?
2. If not is there a system for mixing and...
All,
Belfast, Northern Ireland. I am in a bit of a predicament. I have recently had a stove fitted in a chimney that had a disconnected and capped gas fire. The old gas line went straight out the back wall and was visibly capped a short distance from the gas meter. A simple pull out job. Upon...
I had to gas rate on an E6 meter in a dark, muddy basement the other day. No place to put down tools.
I stayed there for two minutes only to find out the meter index had not updated at all. Obviously the cooker was burning gas.
I press the red button at the beginning and the end.
Has anyone...
If a gas engineer doesn't have CKR1 and has never had. How would they get it do you have to build a portfolio/ do a few days at college?
Is the large permissable drop of 8mb on a E6 meter due to the fact the meter has a high contain level?
Hi. just had my probationary inspection.
Most of the inspection went ok, apart from when the inspector asked me questions about gas fires and gas cookers. I have my ticket for boilers and the inspection for all that side went fine. The last time I did anything about fires and cookers was 5 years...
Hi all, new to the forum. Ive come across a commercial plant room with around 500KW of boilers where the condensate terminates outside about 4 inches under the ground directly next to the wall of the building...... no drain, no soak away, no neutraliser. My understanding is the acidic content...
Flue 250 to edge of extract and not loving the corner and window. Boiler is a battered old 28CDi. I'd love to get it gone but not able to prove fumes in building.
Bearing in mind others have been and not even mentioned, I need to be careful but what's the worst I can actually do?
Against my...
Hi
We have quite a new wall hung boiler (18 months). Twice since being installed it has just stopped overnight (1 last year, 1 recently). Our engineer reset it and looked for any problem, he could not find any and said it could just be a 'glitch'. I know roughly what a ' glitch ' is in...
Hi, just a quick query (hopefully). We’ve got a combi boiler installed in a cupboard with the flue going 90° then directly through the external wall to where it terminates. We’ve had numerous gas safety certificates for it over the years with having lodgers etc, but we’re about to sell the house...
Hello,
What would cause an intermittent gas leak around a boiler?
In the evenings there is a strong smell of gas coming from the boiler.
I got a gas sniffer from Screwfix and it detects gas in the kitchen and squeals when near the boiler.
A plumber inspected the boiler, in total they...
Hi guys.
How many of you use a roofer to help with vertical flue installations, or do you rather do it yourself??
I’m not one for heights so would rather not if possible.
Hi all. I’m just wondering whether most of you are sticking to a particular brand at the moment and if so, which and why?
Also are many of you fitting pipe stats when installing in cold garages/areas or just relying on the boilers frost protection?
Controls of choice?
Cheers folks
Vaillant ecoTEC Plus 400 15kW Heat Only Boiler
I've got air in the pump and one gas engineer has said I need to move the pipes as they are configured incorrectly. Another said all I need to do is add an AAV as high as possible. Another said I should seal the system. Boiler was installed in...
