Can anyone tell me if I am legally allowed to install a Main Multiflow Water Heater, I am not yet Corgi registered but I am competent and I know that it will take me only a few hours to replace the existing Main Mersey Super.
????????????

Guys give me a break, I work with a Corgi registered plumber and I can do all that he can. My footprints never leave me. Now please help me out with the law if you can, where do I stand 'legally'....? and is there a Benchmark Book to provide with these heaters..?

Due to the fact that he is Corgi registered....???????? In truth hes a waste of space as a human being.....!

Seems like your an ungratefull SOAB who's quite happy to take his money every week.

Lets not forget the training, did he pay for that as well.

I am......................................CIS of course.

I'm not ungrateful at all, I told it like it is.
He is registered, I do all the work, simple..........

Facts are:- if you do it and everything is spot on, it is unlikely anything will come of it.I know loads who are still not reporting to corgi and to be honest theres no one at the moment to police it properly.So legally no. Never had a manufacturers engineer yet ask for proof of install info.
