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!!!

yes this would lose pressure if that is leaking, and its caused because the air vent is not shutting off correctly, new aav needed

not taking the mickey here but ring potterton!! 08706 049 049 only advice available!!

if it is the gas valve clicking, it will most likely be is the solenoid, "banging" which is where the magnet isnt quite holding the valve open, does the flame picture on the burner fluctuate when this clicking occurs?

yes if the heating system is completely empty it will affect it because when you have the hot tap running obviously the boiler fires and heat the water, but when you turn the tap off, the heat is stuck in the heat exchanger and needs somewhere to go, and the pump will kick in and generally would...

cancell my first one!!
