    camray 5 150/200 settings manual

    Just dug out my old commissioning data for 150/200 Mid range (50kw) nozzle 1.50 x 60° W 130psi 11.5 co2 flue gas at test point 225/235C That's for kero. Even on lowest output it says 1.35 x60° W nozzle at 120psi 11co2 and 210/220 flue temperature So your flue temperature look very low .

    Do radiators need to be installed exactly level?

    As above make rad look right the heating water won't care. Back in mist's of time I fixed rads dead level then get told they were out! off course they weren't but floor/window cill was out of level. Since then thousands of rads later I haven't a clue if they are actually level but they do...

    Oil boiler on an ASHP designed system

    We have used 4 port blending valves (with motorised thermostatic control) to achieve correct return temperatures. Basically boiler flow in to blender , heating flow out, system return in, return to boiler . One system we did with a 70kw Grant boiler had a requirement from customer of a max...

    Very weird central heating sludge/blockage - definitely not magnetite!

    Another vote for some sort of leak sealant Needs to be flushed out!

    Gravity based back boiler CH system - Advice needed.

    I'd definitely be getting shut of the aejec and using a more conventional H section. No reason you can't use something like tectite classic fittings if you don't fancy soldering. Couple of pictures of a removed Airjec unfortunately fairly typical of how they get, causing pumping over problems.

    Oil boiler on an ASHP designed system

    First if your the third or fourth plumber in a short time I'd be very wary . As above return temperatures on most oil boilers need to be above 40c. We have achieved this in past using temperature blending valves to keep return temperature up.

    Grant Vortex 26e

    Yours is one of the older Grant combi's as it got the 3 dreadful auto air vents on. We now swap them for manual air valves. The combi's can be tricky to clear of air and every time you drain boiler your back to square one. If the water in boiler if dirty it's the same in rest of system . I would...

    radiators not working

    Assuming all rad valves are fully opened turn off all radiators that are working to force circulation through non working rads. Make sure no air in rads if a sealed system it's up to correct pressure.

    Toilet S-Bend floor entry, cleaning up

    That panel is old enough for that to be a salt glazed collar coming through floor. The joint is almost certainly yarn with sand and cement finish that is normally rock hard! If you want to paint it maybe remove lose stuff bit of filler and paint. Also it looks like pan is cracked other side of...

    Henrad Radiators

    No issues when in domestic premises, though we always check condition of water in existing systems treat as needed and always add inhibitor. Did a series of large restaurants at one point, did have trouble with rads rusting in toilets partially the gent's! Cured by fitting stainless steel rads.

    Henrad Radiators

    I live near enough to the Stelrad factory to have been round it a number of times and collected rads from there distribution center . Henrad is Stelrad just different package. Apparently Stelrad own factory's in Turkey that turns out other rebranded stuff.

    Henrad Radiators

    Henrad are Stelrad radiators re badged for independent merchants. Panel rads are finished by a electrostatic process where the paint finish is 'baked' on . Unfortunately rads do rust in bathrooms it's a damp place! I'd be taking care with the one that's bubbling may just be a pinhole behind...

    Has the boiler fitter bypassed our water softener???

    As above check combi manufacturers instructions. Going by the hose union tap it looks like new cold connection was made on incoming supply to softener rather than softened side. If you can use softened water in your combi needs pipework altering. I'd be swapping those small flexi hoses for...

    Hep20 or something else?

    Each make of pipe has its own insert Depends on fittings make/type if it's demountable. Clear picture required!

    Gravity based back boiler CH system - Advice needed.

    Agreed that's a Y plan with a god dam awful airjec doing cold feed/open vent. Im betting that's full of crap. Cylinder stat should be higher up as well. Boiler stat needs turning down a bit they do get out of calibration.

    New boiler or not?

    Changing a number of rads indicates a serious problem somewhere. Get a magnet and check if pipework adjacent to pump and cold feed and open vent . If full of crap magnet will be attracted to pipework. Re quote just looks ott try getting someone who's experienced with your type system to look...

    Gate valves

    As above snapped spindle replacement valve only cure I'd fit a decent lever valve.
  20. Exedon

    Three random radiators on three different floors are cold including pipes, townhouse, heat only boiler with water tank.

    First move is to turn off all rads that are working see if the others come on. If they do system probably needs balancing.
