    What do you think? New boiler required

    The seller lists it as new but the description tells you it's "refurbished". This dishonesty is now common on ebay (along with society in general). Only buy brand new in box where you can clearly see the part no. etc. There are 2 types of hex fitted to this boiler depending on the condensate...

    What do you think? New boiler required

    The ribbing is caused by the aluminum spiral formed on the outside of the casting expanding to the point that it stretches the stainless steel jacket. It's not that unusual but suggests the boiler is running a little too hot...plenty of boilers have it with little issue. However, overheating...

    What do you think? New boiler required

    There is no such thing as a reconditioned primary heat exchanger for this model....the o ring (the seal that has leaked on yours) is not accessible. Any 2nd hand/reconditioned part could fail in exactly the same way within a short time. Furthermore you can't recondition aluminium alloy that has...

    Grant Vortex Boilerhouse 15-26 kW Boiler

    Unless there's a very good reason the pump should be on the flow to ensure the highest pressure at the radiators. Why is the fire valve not located outside? Surely the installer didn't leave that capillary and cabling in that state...

    Many policies (mine does) have clauses that specifically void the policy for negligence eg. felling trees without appropriate training & qualification could be deemed as such.

    Advice on mains flow rate

    Be aware that many meter adapters have single or double checkvalves built in. I don't know whether they are accessible to clean out but it's likely they will be full of debris too.

    Chimney insulation

    Stick a C Cap on the pot. I'd run a short bit of overflow pipe up the flue and ram rockwool around it. Small vent on the plasterboard.

    Baxi duo tech constantly heating

    GSI&U regs don't mention anything about combustion chambers....Section 2.1 defines the whole boiler as a fitting. Any prosecution would be made under the act not the ridiculous statement from Gas-Safe (that contradicts the legal definitions under the act).

    Baxi duo tech constantly heating

    Gas... we've had plenty of illegal workers on here asking questions. Indeed, I now see he's using a wireless Salus timer/stat so the link stays in place.

    Baxi duo tech constantly heating

    Are you registered? I now see that you mention replacing the thermostat/timer/receiver but the factory link is still in place. The boiler is working as expected.

    Advice on mains flow rate

    From the UU point of view there's nothing to be done...9 litres/min almost certainly complies with their minimum requirements..on my old patch 8 was deemed sufficient.

    Advice on mains flow rate

    It's pretty obvious to see the difference between 9 litres/min and 20 odd litres/min but surely it's not beyond anyone on here to calculate the flowrate as the boundary box fills with water. Also be aware that some of these caps appear to restrict the flowrate so you might want to look into that...

    Advice on mains flow rate

    The blanking cap is where a water meter would screw on. Turn off the water and have a look under the cap (open a tap to relieve pressure). AFAIK these meter manifolds are fitted with single or double check valves on the meter outlet part. So you might find the check valve is full of debris...
