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?
Hi All,
I need your advise as I'm really concerned here. I only just had regular boiler replaced with combi (Vaillant ecoFIT Pure 25kw). I had few surveys done and everyone stated the gas supply pipe from the meter to the boiler must be changed from current 15mm to 22mm. The plumber I used said...
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, 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...
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 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...
Hi,
I have a problem with Viessmann 111w
I have a Vicare sensor and app.
It goes like this :
If I have a boiler in DHW only everything works as it should, but then I switch it to DHW and heating. Temperature in a room is 21 degrees. I set the boiler to come on when the temperature is 17...
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.
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...
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...
Hello ,
I have an Ideal Classic boiler ff350 which runs for 10 mins before the boiler cuts out. The circ pump keeps running at this time.
The Pump and The Three port valve have been checked and the User Stat on the front has been Changed (by a Gas safe engineer)
when the Boiler cuts out there is...
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
Gas safe registered but not for LPG. Have been asked to quote for a number of LPG boilers so if I get the job will do my LPG ticket. But was wondering if pipe sizing is different for LPG than natural gas.
Morning all,
I am just about to begin doing more installs of combi boilers, I am gas safe but just never really done a lot of installs due to being busy with general plumbing and bathrooms. One question that i have is, when checking working pressure on a boiler with a zero governor what sort...
Hi,
Just after some advice please.
I have a small outdoor gas pizza oven with the below connector.
I also have the below connector (and corresponding gas cylinder) on a camping gas hob I use when we go camping.
My question is, can I cut off the existing connector on the pizza oven gas...
Hey all
Looking for a consensus on an issue that has arisen.
Disclaimer is that my ideal icos 12 boiler Is over 10 years old but has been serviced. It has been presenting intermittent flame issues in sub zero temperatures however I found that insulating the pipe work around the gas regulator...
I have a domestic gas meter located at one side of my building and my boiler/cooker (only 2 gas devices) on the other side of the building. There is currently a 28mm gas pipe from meter to the boiler which is approx 25m and a further 5m to the gas cooker. My gas engineer is saying that the...
