Gas Engineers > What is the correct procedure attending a boiler breakdown?

[ShaunCorbs]

26.9 ?

So you give an appliance a service after you replace a water part for free

In the real world no one does anything more than a visual

Unless theve changed something that would effect them

Who mentioned a service? You are REQUIRED to conduct the tests outlined in 26.9 whenever you work on a gas appliance. Or does repairing/replacing a diverter valve not count as working in a boiler?

Which is what a basic service is

Fga gas rate etc

 

[firemant]

Jeez. You may call that a service. You have no idea to what I am referring, do you?

 

[firemant]

(9) Where a person performs work on a gas appliance he shall immediately thereafter examine—

(a)​

the effectiveness of any flue;​

(b)​

the supply of combustion air;​

(c)​

its operating pressure or heat input or, where necessary, both;​

(d)​

its operation so as to ensure its safe functioning,​

Yes 26.9 Reference is

Flue gases
Combustion air
Op pressure / input
Operation

Which in turn is the same as you would do in servicing

But you will not comply with the regs? Bit surprised, Shaun, did not expect that of you

So after topping up an expansion vessel you would service the boiler

 

[firemant]

Shaun. 26.9 is NOT a service. It is the minimum required when attending a gas appliance. Even if you are there to top up an EV, your attention and subsequent leaving it working counts as an affirmation that all is safe with the boiler. The regs demand that, to be sure, you complete 26.9.

Really, what bit do you not understand?

Think you should email bg then

How's the homeowner supposed to do these checks when they replace a diverter valve on a 105
