    Teeing into lead service was easy enough make a hole use bent pin to create socket. Clean everything clamp plumbers black to stop solder running too far. Tallow for flux stick of grade D wipe joint. Wiping joints still been done when I started this god forsaken job!

    Well the pump is on return but as above why? Grant provides a clip to locate fire valve sensor on front of boiler above burner. There is even a pre drilled hole !

    Grant Vortex Boilerhouse 15-26 kW Boiler

    Unless the Irish version of the boiler house model is radically different from UK version the right connection view from front is flow. Also all the Grant's we have installed (well into 4 figures)we always fix pump on flow.

    Leadwork on rebuilt bay before rendering

    Whoever did that hadn't a clue Not enough lap you don't use silicone as a bodge to seal lead. Fixing back with odd screw different at least try copper nails. Horrible finish to bottom edge (I won't say dressed) looks like it's designed to channel water in!

    Combi Boiler boiling water!

    It is known to have to get stanley knife out and gently trim/scrape a bit of paddle. I live & work in a area where the water is described as aggressively hard untreated that can certainly cause flow switch problems.

    UK central heating plumbing and control questions.

    Clear pictures of pipework showing pumps motorised valve and pipework layout would be useful. Oil systems of that age often used 2 pumps wired through relays. Systems with a single zone valve were also not uncommon.
