Fit an automatic air vent suitable for outside and you can take it as high or low as you like :twisted:

Dennis Law haha

I didn't bother in the end. 150 quid to get some jobsworth from building control to look at a register plate, see I have done a good job, and sign it off. What a tight basta*rd and despite saving heavily on carrying out the installation yourself you still wouldn't pay to have it signed off...

Open the other 'blank' so its open air then try again

3 bar prv on boiler plumbed into the return pipe. 22mm pipe teed off the return rising vertically until height of the flue then an external prv at 2.5 bar attached to this 22mm pipe then 15mm discharge ran off as normal. Baxi approved this solution and sold me the 2.5 bar prv. Check with your...

When I read the title I thought this boiler would have been a Biasi. In the Biasi there is a transformer which hums away and is perfectly normal. As for yours ... ?

There is no washer in this tap if Im not mistaken but a ceramic disc. Try for a replacement cartridge online. Identifying the thing may well be the biggest problem. You can always buy a replacement tap as a last resort.

If you are keeping the elec shower and go down the pump route make sure you read the manufacturers instructions for the shower regarding pressure. If its a Triton Cara I would try and take it back, they're disgraceful. Salamander make decent pumps

Why did you go for reconditioned equipment?

Hahaha thats inventive. Try closing down one of the valves on the bottom rad and you will balance them. A little tweeking and you should get them up to temperature simultaniously

Some silly comments on here. The lads van was off the road so it was difficult to get them home and back again. We can all take the moral high ground and say what he should have done from in front of a computer screen. Im sure those commenting would have done exactly the same.

Fitted one last year and was called back one week later. Diverter valve motor head had failed. Turned out a "plumber" fitted a tap in the bathroom resulting in water hammer. Everytime any tap was closed the boiler fired up for a split second thinking there was a demand for dhw. It must have gone...

Google approved document H, sanitation. Longest run in 40mm allowed is (1"1/2) if I remember righlty is 3M. You need to make sure its on a gradient which is more pertinant than the bore of the pipe.

On water its one and a half times the maximum working pressure. On gas its...? I dont know and can't find anything in my books...
