I assume so, as I fitted it the same way round as the old pump

Would that be the case eventhough the boiler / system drains completely and fills perfectly from the F/E tank?

I fitted a new pump to my old Glow Worm 65 80-B. It's a balanced flue, pumped downstairs, gravity upstairs system. Having fitted the pump, I am regularly getting excessive water going into the F/E tank in the loft, and then overflowing. This is only happening when the CH is on. I have...

Yes of course the fitter has to recharge VAT on the boiler when he sells it on, so there is no saving to the customer at all. To be precise, the law is, as a householder you do NOT have to be CORGI to install gas fittings. You have to be "competent". If you are employed to do such work then...

Hi No I didn't manage to find another manual. David

Thanks Felix My original query related to my friends system but your reply describes the system I have which was fitted by the same moron you talk about!! When I moved in 12 years ago I had a zone valve fitted connected to a hot water cyclinder stat. But, when (if the CH is off and on HW...

Thanks for the advice. I am a humble DIYer... I think I will tell my friends to call for Corgiman!

I have been asked by friends to install a room stat for them. Their system does not have a room stat at present but does have indiviudal rediator stats. The system is a balanced flue with pumped heating and gravity hot water with a motorised valve. Is the installation of a room stat, in...

Thanks. Alot cheaper than the £240 that Hyundai want for the workshop manuals!!

Hi Can anyone provide me with technical service data (gaps, timing, etc etc) for the Hyundai Atoz. Thanks

Can you tell me where I can get a used valve from? Thank you

My 2nd problem is... Have a Glow worm 65-80B Space Saver around 30 years old. The pilot ignites and will stay lit for hours when the burners are not alight. The problem is that once the burners ignite, the control valve cuts off the gas for no apparent reason after a period of time. It...

The problem is not continuous, and has only happened 2 or 3 times in the last couple of months. But I do know the boiler is scaled up, given its age, as it bangs, gurgles and kettles all day! I have used Fernox decalers numerous times to the point where the water comes out clean, but the...

The boiler inlet is at the bottom. ??? Thank you

I've read on a couple of other threads that if the pump is fitted in the wrong direction a similar problem can arise. How do I know which direction it should be going? The arrow on the pump is pointing FROM an external pipe TOWARDS to boiler inlet. Thanks
