Landlord Gas safety check. Operating pressure

[townfanjon]

Mines Regin , just checked to be 100%

Operating pressure in mbar or heat input KW or BTU

 

[Jamie Leask]

Did you put it in max in installer level?

No I know about this now though

 

[townfanjon]

Jamie , are you GS ?

Before I confuse myself, is operating pressure on the inlet to the gas valve? Only ask because I always gas rate mine now as the first landlords I did, I checked the Inlet pressure at max rate and my then trainer said I was wrong because it's asking for burner pressure not inlet pressure and told me to always do a gas rate instead.

You cant really do a burner pressure very much these days , I set at full rate and take a inlet working pressure at P 1 , this I always took as operating pressure , unless somebody else says different lol .

Theres no box on the regin to record a gas rate , I suppose there maybe on others .

yes i know its seems like a dumb question

Yeah sorry when I say gas rate, I meant heat input. I use the app which gives me gas rate, and a gross and net heat input. I just refer to them as the same thing.

Yep dont forget says mbar OR heat input .

Well I'll be doing operating pressures from now on then. Save me having to wrestle with the beasties that are always lurking in the metre boxes

Most new boilers you can’t do an operating pressure, so what is the way?
