Thanks everybody. Found a suitable replacement via ebay for £30.

Hi Folks, I have a Baxi Duo Tec combi with a rigid filling loop. I have had to remove the non-return valve from the filling loop as it had failed (a common fault apparently). I'd like to replace the loop but the correct part is around £50 and a universal fitting is a tenner. Is there any reason...

You're absolutely right it is in the regs isn't it. Thanks. I've just called them and been told by the girl on the phone that the pipework doesn't need insulating if the boiler is in the main part of the house. i pointed out that's not what the regs seem to say and she (rather huffily) agreed...

Hi Folks, Quick question. I've just had a new boiler fitted but there's no insulation on any of the new pipework to/from the boiler. On the old boiler all the pipe work was insulated but when that was installed the storeroom it was installed in would have been outside the house. We have...

Wife is on the phone now accepting one of the replacement boiler quotes so terminal or not it is on its way out. Just hope we don't have to wait too long before they can fit the new one. Thanks for your help. Mark

Thanks Both, The CO (not CO2, it's been a long day...) alarm is a good quality one and only a couple of months old. The alarm went off after the boiler had been on for an hour or so. It is currently on pilot light only and has been for 3 or 4 hours without the alarm going off. Is it safe to...

Hi Folks, I have an old Halstead floor standing conventional boiler (which I actually got a quote on replacing today...). It lives in a small room with an external wall with two vents in it and a flue that goes up from the boiler to the roof. This evening the CO2 alarm has gone off and the...

UPDATE: I've just found a very corroded phial assembly from the safety cut out hanging out the back of the boiler (not up the flue where it should be). Could this be causing the cut out? Hi Folks, I have a Halstead Buckingham 3 floor standing conventional boiler which has given many years...
