Thanks dmdm272, I like the non scientific method and that 30 l/min is almost double what the manufacturer quotes, our potential installer recons that he has seen higher flow rates from the combi than what Atag quote. Cheers Mark

Thanks Agile, I didn't realise the grief of re-using the existing ridge tile therefore it just made sense to use it, plus I don't like the idea of leaving a potential source for water ingress during heavy wind/rain. Never having looked at the design of a vented ridge up close, not sure if...

I've just started with my Evohome installation and so far loving it, still got another 8 TRV's to get to finish the installation and will add these as well as the remaining Danfoss valve bodies once the system is drained for our new boiler install. I also looked at Heatmiser, Heat Genius and...

LeeC, That's fair comment and it will be interesting to see what the RGI recommends next week. From an installers point of view would it be significantly more expensive replacing the ridge tile rather than installing a vertical flue in a pitched tile roof (the vertical flue would penetrate the...

The existing ridge tile adaptor is a rectangular box (stainless to be verified) with a single 100mm spigot that at the moment reduces down to 60mm for the Powermax flue. From what I've been told Atag can supply a replacement reducer for their 80mm flue that fits this 100mm spigot. The new...

The flue question wasn't fully answered, just had an interesting meeting with Paul from Atag who has no problem with the ridge terminal being re-used with their adapters. He's just arranging for their RGI to visit to verify a couple of items before we decide on a system or combi boiler. I'm a...

I'm not looking for an argument on costs, I mistakenly came on here for a little advice on a couple of boilers and the flue, but for reference the quote was for a system boiler and vented store at £4,495.00 inc Vat, £1,440.00 inc VAT was for labour. The job was estimated at 4 days work. To me...

Guys, I would be interested to know how your Atag combi's are performing in terms of domestic hot water performance i.e fluctuating temperatures at tap outlets and flow rates when other outlets are opened at the same time, especially when showering. I've always dismissed combi's because of...

So what you're saying then that the only good tradesman is one that marks up their materials 40% to rip their customers off?

I haven't actually stated that I'm going to reuse the old flue, I just asked what adaptor would be required for the ridge tile, as far as I'm aware there is no other boiler that works with a Range Powermax flue. I've also stated that the Atag technical rep is visiting tomorrow so that I know...

Thanks Andrew, Does that include the Ridge Tile itself or just the adaptor that is bolted to it? I actually have the Atag Technical Rep visiting tomorrow to discuss flue options, from this I should have a better idea of which way to go so that I can finalise some quotes.

EXV's have been known to fail so just wanted to check that this is serviceable while in position and unfortunately because the boiler and cylinder will be sharing the airing cupboard space is at a premium which is why I was trying to avoid the Robokit. The Intergas registered installer has put...

I've narrowed the boiler choice down to the above two but struggling to make a final decision. Intergas because of it's simplicity and excellent heat exchanger. Atag because of it's flexible flue arrangement. The Atmos would have been a good compromise but not sure whether you can still...

I agree and the same applies for condensate but sometimes needs must.

Condensate will be pumped to soil stack on the other side of the house. There is a pump that will do both the condensate and a PRV but don't believe it will do all three PRV's.
