Notice this some time ago we use the tectite version. The tectite data sheet clearly states for potable water central heating and non potable water. For use with push fit and press fittings. We use them with press fittings as you need the longer stem.

Cast iron welding is tricky especially with this kind of thing which isn't likely to be high grade material. I think brazing rather than welding might be more successful. The best person would be an old school blacksmith type oif you can find one All of the above cast is not easiest to weld ...

Round here they accept tube with soldered fittings on . Lots of paint gets knocked down to next level. I weighed in yesterday heavy copper £7200 per tonne. braziery £6100 per tonne. Mixed brass £3600 per tonne.

Heating valve must be open for that to happen try moving the manual lever to check it's not stuck and spring returns.

I can't say for certain on the JG controls but the equivalent Polypipe control has a built-in thermostat so the pump can't run until boiler flow reaches a pre set temperature. So pump won't run constantly circulating cold water.

First suspect 3 port valve try switching of power to heating system and see if valve spring returns. Honeywell have a really good smart phone wiring app which includes a fault finding guide.

For many years we were nominated contractors to a large housing association. Terrace housing full refurbishment back to floor joints & roof timbers. All radiators were installed on outside walls and behind every radiator a 9x6 air brick .Where the tenants couldn't get at them!

That's the burner details not boiler! Probably best as above get a suitably qualified oil engineer to check it out.

The large tube the flexi is connected to is a air.duct the flue is another pipe inside the air duct. Which model firebird?

If you really have flue gas leaking from that joint you have a problem. The plastic hose is a air duct! Burner out smoke pellet in stick burner back in quickly. See where smoke leaks out.

15/19 is just the output Worcester have made a number of variants over years some better than others. Clear pictures of the front and internals of your boiler would be useful.

Which model of Heatslave? there are several. If you instalation manual follow the fault finding flow chart. Or download correct manual. 3 port valve is a regular problem on Heatslave's. Have you checked all the overheat stats?

I really wouldn't fit another it500 more a case of when it fails not if. We use the eph cp4 or eph cp4i if you want Internet enabled. Never had a problem with either both have 5 year warranty.

As above no reason it shouldn't work. Few years ago it was been done regularly using solar thermal to feed a heat store. The company's that were doing it seem to have disappeared!. One thing I can say is the current Worcester heatslave combi's aren't the longest lasting in the world. We have...
