what do you think of this install

[stevetheplumber]

stuck right in the eaves pipes all run across in front of the boiler so you cant get in front of it to work as far as i can make out there is no low water pressure switch on boiler so not a good ide for top of the house you have to unscrew a panel just to get in lagged pipe work but not the fittings and theres a filter tucked in the pipe work with the flush out valve about an inch above the ceiling pipework is copper with plastic fittings can only get one hand over to the airvents and you cant unscrew them as they are into pushfit and just spin one handed so cant tell if they are open or shut
three years old was moved up from the cupboard below any guesses whose work it is and how much they charged?

[Rickster123]

That's very Christian of you. I say sod the next guy! :chinese:

swap them live with 70 dc water coming at you (mind you most dom places dont have auto fillers , least once the pressures gone the water stops)

 

[stevetheplumber]

half a point for hammers yes bg fitted it 5k plus vat and the aavs have the auto shut offs under them you just have to lay on the unsupported pipework to reach them

 

[Chalked]

Even with genuine balofix valves. After a few years on heating. As soon as you use them they pixx out. Then you have to drain down to fix a leak on a valve to fix the initial problem.!

half a point for hammers yes bg fitted it 5k plus vat and the aavs have the auto shut offs under them you just have to lay on the unsupported push fit jointed pipework to reach them

post it to bg twitter page and see what they say

 

[hammers4spanner]

5 k for boiler install jeez

 

[gastec]

Beat me to it, its got BG written all over it.

 

[thompsonbrown]

Climbing over that un-clipped condense line to reach boiler seems like a disaster waiting to happen.

 

[stevetheplumber]

a night mare to work on i cant belive any boiler doesnt fail safe when the water runs outand the stupidity of choosing that model to go in a loft at the top of the house
thomson your righ its hanging in the breeze right where you want to lay to reach the boiler
