ECV - Handle Required

[Pioliair]

Im trying to track down a handle for this 54mm ECV all usual outlet shave not got a clue, so here I am asking

We have no manufactures details only what you see

Any help appriciated

We dont wont to go down the line of replacing the valve (yes would be easier, but cost to client high, purging, testing venting etc )

Thanks

Bes have stores do they? I thought they were only mail order

 

[Pioliair]

Client has built a duct in the riser but made it tooooooooooo big so they are making the duct smaller

They have branchs dont they ? Or am i thinking bss ? And have you rang up your gas company and asking for one ? Because technically the person leaving there cant really turn it off unless they have a set of grips etc !

 

[AWheating]

if its an ecv cant you get the gas supplier to correct it?? or is this just domestic properties this happens?

ive herrd croppies commercial?? he may have an answer?

That's a freefall fire valve, very similar to this one -



It may not be suitable for gas! But try Landon Kingsway - Welcome to Landon Kingsway

hope its vented properly!!

 

[Dotty]

Yeah, I was looking at that too......

 

[Whyme]

Boxing in, dont ya just love it.

"Can't box in around this 'andle fing!"

"<<insert profanity of choice>> it, remove it, no one'll know."

Wood butchers and builders.......

 

[Pioliair]

ventilation now all sorted as I have made them put in the ventilation at the top and bottom of riser direct to atmosphere.
Also told thenm to modify duct as once the handle is back in place it needs to be accessible.

 

[Whyme]

yeah then you go back next year and erm im sure there was a ecv round here somewhere.....Bet the handy mans bying some plasterboard as we speak...

I would Buy a spanner attach a small chain to ring end of spanner attach other end of chain to boxing job done

Looking at the valve it hasnt got enough room fo a leaver.

 

[acecharly]

I never saw all the other post lol that valve could do with turning though 90 then with the right handle it could be tuned off.

 

[Pioliair]

Is this a legal solution?

I would say a spanner is in the area of the valve is better than no handle if the correct one can not be obtained. Other solution is change valve.as if it is legal or not I do not no the answer.

 

[Dotty]

It's whether or not the valve is suitable for gas as that is a drop weight fire valve. And for some reason it's stuck in my head that the blue one's are for oil.....,..
