    Central Heating

You could set up so the combi heats a coil in a link up vessel (sealed indirect) and the log burner could heat the vessel direct OV with the heating circuit then running from the vessel. I mean...

    City and Guilds NVQ Level 3 Plumbing

    No but this sort of thing maybe why you were voted out of the cc? I think the op will be time served when he's finished college, sounds like he's with a firm and in the work shop a day a week? Isn't that how you trained?

    City and Guilds NVQ Level 3 Plumbing

    I was one of the last on the old course, as we were finishing the first year boys were on the new course. A lot more in depth apparently? And don't you pick gas oil or renewables? Bloody pain if even the people setting the course can't decide what your supposed to learn!

    City and Guilds NVQ Level 3 Plumbing
