your best bet would be to get a transition coupling, and cut the pipe back a bit, and do this because by the looks of it, someone has already had a go at repairing it with PTFE tape, i get transition couplings from my local supplier, but i think BSS stock them aswell Jim

to be honest just about anything is a better boiler than your icon t, i fit alpha boilers and think that they are the best on the market, i think this because at my old company we fitted halsteads which i didnt like, because we contracted to the local council and thats the boilers that they...

:D yeah kev, totally agree with you there fella!! id rather set fire to my sofa to get heat than have a keston! :lol:

As far as I can tell, the Powermax is an attempt at an integrated thermal store & boiler - what little I can find on them isn't complimentary about their reliability :roll: yes simon, the powermax is a thermal store, but i have worked on a few powermaxes over the last few years, and pretty...

yes mick, i have my unvented ticket, i also have my gas safe registration, and a few other qualifications if this helps your enquiry

Baxi/potterton do the powermax boiler which uses twin flue, and this is not plastic flueing, its metal. oh yeah and nearly forgot to slate keston boilers before i left!! i would rather have intimate relations with my dad, before fitting a keston, or reccomending them, they are awfull boilers!!

sounds like a relay problem on the pcb, expensive if its not though, tricky one to diagnose without being there,

Hi guys, was just wondering if anyone knows the part number for a megaflo TSE immersion stat?, this is the bluey green one, i cant find it anywhere on parts arena, or dhs, and desperatly need to get one ordered thanks Jim

i use the rothenberger superfire 2, quite pricey but amazing, also i only use mapp gas!

can you see the gas council number? that will be easiest it will start with 47 and will follow this format eg 47-123-45

i totally agree with you about me not eating whats on my magnaclean fitted on my own system, cause i wouldn't, but its a difference of opinion on this subject, i have my views and you have yours, and yes i agree that a dirty system will bugger aav's, but mine and a few others i have changed...

not every leaking aav is caused by dirt, i have had a completly clean system in my own house with a leaking aav, dirt could be the problem, but the engineer who drains the system to change the aav will assess the situation, not everything is down to a dirty system

Finally which ever gas he uses, he's gonna need the water out the pipe :( if you use the yellow rothenberger bottle, (mapp) gas, if there is a bit of water left in the pipe, you still get enough heat for the solder to run, i use it all the time, if there is any possibillity of water in...

sounds to me like the thermostat in the off peak immersion has gone, not a major job to change.

wel i dont recognise it at all, and i have looked in the promax manual on my computer and it says nothing on there!!! my only advice is ring potterton, other people might know but i dont!! so no im not sure!!!
