    Rayburn Flue tar

    Hi All, I have an oil fired Rayburn and have recently noticed a few drops of tar/creosote dripping out of the vent at the base of the flue so in pretty sure I have a problem with tar in the chimney flue that's running down and out onto the upper surface of the Rayburn. Chimney was swept not so...

    Airlock indeed.... For the benefit of anyone else in the same situation... I used this method and now all is good

    One Radiator heating Intermittently

    Yes it does...... in the loft above rad there are two short 6" vertical sections in the rad feeds (1 on flow and 1 on return) each with a bleed screw but no air in them, so not sure where the air is or how to get it out of the system

    One Radiator heating Intermittently

    Guys, I'm having issues with just 1 of 2 radiators in a single story extension room on ground floor. One rad has no issues but the other has little or no heat. Valves on both ends of this rad are fully open and the flow pipe (comes down from ceiling) is warm but the return is stone cold, as is...

    C plan to Y plan Heating

    Of course......but before I can do that, I need to know if I can use both of the existing returns or if one will suffice?. And which flow to cap off?

    Ha Ha...yes indeed... my thoughts entirely! Hence the need to move to something less prehistoric.

    C plan to Y plan Heating

    Well its almost C plan but has no 2 port valve (any Cyl stat) on the HW side so HW temp can only be controlled by thermostat on boiler

    C plan to Y plan Heating

    Well more control and better efficiency really. HW has no stat and slow to heat. Heating cannot be on without HW too.

    C plan to Y plan Heating

    The cold feed and vent (from F&E tank) are on the HW side at the entry and exit from the HW indirect cylinder

    C plan to Y plan Heating

    I could do some with advice on the following..... I have a Boulter Camry Quartet Oil Boiler with a flow and return on the left side supplying the heating system via the pump. On the right side of the boiler is an additional flow and return to the gravity HW and I would like to convert this to...

    Poor Heating but HOT water

    Thanks Simon...you were spot on. I assumed that because the pump was humming, it was turning. That assumption was incorrect...I tapped it with a big hammer and the pump sprung to life.
