but Dan the guy sorted their kitchen out, so surely that makes him an expert on fitting gas fires doesn't it :roll:

i repiped a system in a house last yr that was exactly like your folks, it was done by her husband donkeys yrs before (he was an engineer), yes as you said that is how a one pipe system was normally piped, no it had nothing to do with the boiler it would have worked better on a modern two pipe...

some plumbers are like that aren't they however an RGI may have a different view

it's a one pipe system although it's not normally piped like that, normally both ends would be tee'd off of the same pipe & yes you are right the rads get less efficient the further away from the boiler, tbh the way the pipework is done is so out dated it really would benefit from a re-pipe, &...

& what does that have to do with the price of fish ?

having the correct size pipework going to the cylinder might help :roll:

I'm surprised the engineer even fixed it when he found the sludge, most will just walk away

yeh i googled that web site too, amazing how knowledgable some people can be with a keyboard :lol:

tell that to the thousands of people who have had to have their unprotected copper pipes replaced in concrete/screed floors :roll:

the water in a rad won't move that fast, buy a rad valve & look at how big the water channel is, plus i think you would be better trying to understand how a rad works so you work for a co that is going to make a econ 7 thermal store & put a big pump on it, absolute & complete waste of their...

as above, tracpipe is marked as gas therefore you shouldn't be installing it

as Dan said but they should have sized the gas pipe before installing the boiler, if it was me i'd tell them to increase the size of the pipe so it is correct foc or you are going to ask for a gas safe inspection, they have installed the boiler to NCS & this is something they aren't allowed to do

mirror on the window that's an interesting touch

no highest as denso said

no i perfer to give my customers the best flow rate availible within their budget, most people are alot more demaining these days when it comes to hot water performance, if everyone went by your anthogy above no one would upgrade to an unvented cylinder

i wouldn't fit a 24kw anywhere the flow rates are ****e, min of 28kw

alot of misinformation on this thread that is totally wrong as well, it is your responsibility as soon as it enters your property (front garden not your house) which is why the co stoptap is placed as close to your boundary as possible, it won't be a plastic stoptap or one where some handle...

if your boiler ain't broke then carry on using it until it's no longer cost effective to repair, by getting a new boiler is going to save you between £100-£300 a yr in gas which may sound alot but if you consider the cost of a new boiler this may take you 10 yrs to recover, the avg life of a...

I agree with Charn, i think you need to read more than this thread if you want to carry on calling yourself a "plumber" the taphead won't be missing at all, it didn't have one to start with :roll:
