I have sleeved the gas pipe, All others have that insulation pipe wrap around them, then the hole was packed with glass wool before being pointed up with cement.
They pass through the original house cavity wall and into the loft space (single storey extension) before coming down a boxed in section to the new combi boiler.
I installed all the pipework and boiler myself. I converted from an old baxi back boiler to a new Baxi 105he instant and am awaiting the gas guy to come and connect and test the gas.
He did originally agree to this but now the time has come he seems to be rather busy
I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to do it any more.
now trying to find another plumber who will do it for me. Surely i haven't broken any rules by doing all the water work myself and then calling in a corgi man to connect gas and test? Have I ?
By the way, Has anyone had dealing with these BAXI Re-Con boilers ? I know a guy who works at the Padiham Baxi plant where they are made. He told me occasionally the casings get damaged so they are returned for an inspection and rectification work.
The boiler i got is the 105he instant and it came in its original packaging still with un broken bands, with all the fittings, installation guide and so on. It cost £330.00 which is a massive saving from the £780.00 cheapest quote i got from just about all the plumbers i rang.
I cant see any damage and it has all the protective plastic stuck to all the casings. Looks a bargain to me.
Then again, we'll see if it works if i can find a plumber to connect the gas
