Have you checked that you have not 'blown' the fuse

If it had a badge and it said 6.7kw and yea gas rated it and worked out to be 7.1kw what has caused this fire input to rise to 7.1kw is it the injector, pipesize, ventalation, ????????? Is that 6.7kw gross or net and have you gas rated to gross or to net. For example 7.1kw gross is 6.4kw...

Yes it is necessary. Hope you realise that replacing the H/E on one of these boilers is not for the faint hearted!! Good solid boiler the VCW - but getting on in years now

Customer called me to service his inset coal effect gas fire. Well, before i started i could smell gas, confirmed by the t/test. The gas control valve was leaking badly. Customer said 'we often get a flame from there' !!! as i capped it off... I'm trying(if possible to get a replacement...

Lots of reasons it could be losing pressure. Matter of elimination. Just had the pipes replaced so its been re-filled. There will be a lot of dissolved air in the ssystem making its way out over time. That may explain why at the moment youre topping up. Or as stated the boilers PRV...

at the end of one of those days where you think 'who am i' 'where am i' and 'whats this do' :? Anyway, calling back tomorrow to check pump and PCB

Well its been a long day. Couple of services and repairs this morn then started an install this pm. On way home was asked to look at an Alpha CB28. Not a boiler i am overly familiar with but went along. Both neons lit and for some strange reason the customer was draining a large saucepan of...

Canny people us northerners - will try and save money any which way :lol:

thats not a surface mounted backplate. Its fitted behind the tiles and used instead of backplate elbows

stainless screws and silicone in the slots. The slots allow you to get it level and plumb

You're not saving money, youre just throwing it down the drain in the long run. I've seen others attempts (when called in to put things right). Listen to what everyone is telling you. I understand that money's tight but you may as well throw that Ravenheat out the window for all the good it...

Depends. The fittings may be £2500 and his labour £500?????

The hot and cold feed to it should be hidden behind the tiles, usually in a stud wall. For example your hot and cold would come up at 150mm apart to the required height. Then 15mm - 1/2 " female BSP backplate elbows fixed to the rear wall of the shower. Those threaded inserts go into the elbows...

I would STAY CLEAR. I imagine this group are trying to cash in and i bet its not cheap. 12 weeks is a rush job, youre a professional so i'm not telling you something you dont already know. I'd contact a RGI, and you prob know loads. Ask to work alongside him and build up a portfolio. Gather...

This is a STEAL of a price http://www.yorkshiretilingtools.co.uk/index.php?page=2&id=93 Get one now

I'd rather use my teeth :lol:

so who does offer the best prices for trade on boilers then???

Still not useful for getting at pipes close to skirting, joists etc. Its a pipe slice with a ratchet handle - looks OK for general DIY'er but prob wouldnt stand up to much pro use

the E-cut universal saw blades will cut through most metals. For those times when you cant get a pipe slice in. Gives a neat burr free edge also. I also find the diamond segment saw blade a very handy tool, its like having a very powerful mini cutter and grinder all in one...

Fein multimaster. Fantastic bit of kit. Saw it first being used to cut neat floorboards, then clean through copper pipe whic couldnt get at Use it all the time
