Landlord Gas safety check. Operating pressure

[Jamie Leask]

So I was doing a gas safety landlord check on a vaillant ecotec 835 and the meter was so far away from the flat that by the time I got there the boiler got to temp and would momentarily shut off and I couldn’t get a full reading for a gas rate. I tried numerous times. In the end I got the reading from the gas valve inlet and ran the boiler at full rate. Is this the same as the operating pressure and acceptable for the cert? TIA

A cp12 doesn't give you the option for operating pressure does it? It's either burner pressure or gas rate.

So yes I ran the hot tap and then put on chimney sweep but this was why it was turning off momentarily. I think someone may have closed an iso valve somewhere so the boiler wasn’t getting rid of the heat quick enough. So anyway thanks for your reply.

sounds like there was another issue if the boiler wasnt staying alight when the hot tap was running
