yes go ahead, so long as its a like for like or an identical output i:e 9.5Kw then as said its ok but if you put a 10.5 then best call a sparks to verify that the cabling/fuse/mcb can take the additional load

1. vaillant are among the most reliable boilers I know fitted, 100+ ecotecs had 2 with overheat issues 418 & 428 (my fault didn't set them up correctly!! durr!) 2. an 831 with faulty diverter valve and finally 3. an 831 with the original rubber hoses that leaked £4k !! for a boiler change...

they won't go as the laws are against them in Ireland where it is a criminal matter not a civil like it is here!

OP as you have a combi already then a replacement combi will be the most cost effective as for boiler manu's my prefered are as follows 1. vaillant 2. baxi/potterton or glowworm 3. vokera or main the only 1 i would avoid like the plague is Ideal (their customer service is as non existant as...

in that case then yes they could have braced the timber, sheer lazyness!

i presume you mean teeing the H&C feeds that are already there? if so then most merchants stock push fit tees if you want brass/copper then ask for Tectite or have a look in Wickes they stock copper speedfit

and where do you propose to get one? as they were pre 2004 i very much doubt anyone has 1. as for the exemption i have only every made enough points on 1 boiler to qualify, this was a BBU to heat only conversion back in 2004.

probably because he's going to fit it illegally!! :lol:

nice work if you can get it!! would have thought you could do a lot better on an unvented system

well done for checking his shoddy work by employing someone competent. have you printed off a copy of his website showing the claim of NIC registration if you haven't do so asap as he could change it at any time. and that would lose you the impact at court.

normally as you said press to plug, press again to unplug

firstly it was manufactured with just the one hole and 2 lugs at the rear that the u clip fits into these are pop rivetted in, so theres your answer just pop rivet the 2 extra holes with sealed rivets, the boiler is fanned so POC's are drawn into the fan and then the air is mixed with the gas at...

Arrogant answer again - you are wrong end of! as remedial is not the same as alteration which is what you are doing! but hey ho carry on with it you were going to anyway!

well that just shows the stupidity of it all! i stand corrected!! was always under the impression that any room with water came under the remit. learn new things every day!

not so as it would fall under the "bathroom" classification as it has water outlets. so therefore would still be classed as a special location.

a lot of switches come with a sheet of paper inside the pack which shows you how to wire each switch, depending on the original installer the lights may be mid circuit or if you are really lucky they are the last light on the circuit either way you will need to remove the light from the circuit...

no they usually tell the customer that the part isn't available! despite the said item being readily available! in this case though i doubt anyone has a new valve of that type. as i said there is nearly always a different valve available that can be used.

21litres a minute divided by 2 = 10.5 litres per shower, not a fantastic flowrate for a shower, but may be ok. doubt it would support a rainwater type head though.

and what does that matter? you are not qualified to undertake the work you propose. I never implied you were "stupid" just working on something you clearly have little understanding of!

and will charge you more than a qualified sparks! wether you like it or not we give advice freely which includes telling you the legal position of work you are considering. altering a circuit in a kitchen is one such item that is Notifiable work. if i was doing work in my home that required a...
