Hi, Seems to be a vast variation of opinion to whether the Auto Air Vent plastic screw cap should be left permanently loose or screwed tight after the initial pressuring of a combination boiler, to try and go with the majority what are your opinions today may I ask? Many thanks

Yes Jumbo I understand that (thanks) but thought that while the pressure was down I would just check that the EV pressure was correct as it hadn't been serviced recently. Cheers mate!

Thanks Jumbo, you have also been very helpful and exactly the sort of person that I hoped would help me, obviously you understand my situation! Much obliged!

Hi Chris, appreciate that, I did not receive it, if you could send again I will look out for it, I did manage to get the pressure up, the problem was that the filling loop must have had the one way valve stuck on one side, after taking it apart it seemed to clear, at the moment I just have to...

Never said he was but obviously you are a regular who knows other qualified people that post on here, also as a qualified person yourself, you know the figures to be quite accurate, you have to understand that I do not have that knowledge along with other DIY'ers and therefore to be confident...

Hmmm, but this I took as a personal recommendation and although much appreciated thought that someone out there may have the actual printed figures. Many thanks

Hi, could anyone state what 60-75w energy saving lightbulbs they would recommend, they seem to vary soo much in price, I need the type with the screw thread EP I think, they are to go outside on each side of my garage which have a photocell sensor the same as in this link...

OK that said, Now, is there any helpful plumbers/heating engineers out there that do know the cold boiler pressure and expansion vessel precharge pressure for the Ideal Sprint Combi. I must admit that I was not aware that a DIY'er was not allowed to re-pressurise their own heating system via...

Yeah sure, unfortuneatly I was already aware that this was an option! PS I was not asking how to do the work, only some facts that would be in the manual (thanks for all your help

Well, I know that but I thought that people in the trade might know what a Ideal Sprint is and if there were variants, the picture might confirm what one it is, I stated Ideal Sprint once before on this forum and someone questioned it, hence the picture. So to clear this up, the boiler cannot be...

So, from all the information and picture I have given has not helped in establishing the boiler I have then ??? What do I need to do then ??? Thanks, I just want to know the correct cold operating pressure and correct vessel pressure as stated in the instruction manual that I do not have!

urmmm, to confirm the model of boiler!!!

Hi, could anyone in the know please advise on the correct (system pressure) and correct (vessel pressure) pressure for the following Ideal Sprint Combi boiler at http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p272/invisible-man/DSC01507.jpg Many thanks

Don't think I want to stretch to that, soooo what does this nylon black pointed screw do then??? Merry Christmas everyone

When fitting new one, what is the procedure with the black plastic screw, (leave it alone, take it out, screw it in, etc), Thanks,

How did this come on to my post! LOL Oh well, it is christmas !!!

Thanks

Thanks Strachan, any idea on price ?

When you say easily replaced, are we talking the whole unit or just the plastic screw, does the whole unit unscrew, also is this from a plumbing shop or is it a boiler part, idea of price?

Hi, I have inserted a threaded bolt with PTFE instead of the original plastic/nylon pointed bolt which was leaking from the thread (please see pic), I think that this fitting is for bleeding air and not a pressure relief valve, but I am not too sure. Could someone please tell me what the...
