the reason you have to use a compression elbow is because the shower spigot is not long enough to use a speedfit one

I would class it as an internal corner as in "H" in the above link, so therefore 600mm from the edge of the flue

yep i wouldn't use anything else, i get mine from plumbs, neither pts or city keep it round here

next time look at the G.C No & that will tell you exactly what it is

I've got a bottle in the front of the van that's been there for about 6 yrs after buying it at a trade show, never used it once

this thread has turned into bleedin masterchef :lol:

if it's a steamer the boiler looks too high to me, the flue elbow is higher than the flue, what is the distance from the bottom of the boiler to that shelf, because it doesn't look like the req servicing distance to me

I sorted it for you :wink:

yeh let him in I haven't laughed so much in years

& doesn't that happen to us every day of the week in our normal jobs, if we go to a boiler breakdown or a CP12 we don't rip up half the house to inspect the pipework

yes i remember & well deserved it was too :lol: but i agree with you, imo a pipe is not a gas pipe unless it is connected to the gas supply or has gas running through it, it doesn't matter what it is designed to do, it doesn't matter why it has been installed, unless it's connected to...

you go by what distances are given by the hob MI, however if you don't have this info then as below

these internet courses are a nightmare aren't they :roll:

no probs, what you have to remember is a rad tapping is a parallel thread not a tapered one so the when the ptfe starts to squash up as you tighten it makes a washer which is what seals it, sealing compound such as boss white will only work on a tapered fitting

Is your o/v system connected to the softner ? if it is then there lies the prob with your boiler, WB MUST NOT be fed by softned water as you found out it will knacker the hex

there is no debate, sealing compond won't work on rad tails & they will leak, ptfe or loctite 55 every time, if they leak using ptfe then you haven't put enough on

as above & you will also have limescale inside the end of the spout (notice the white around the spout), try getting rid of the limescale & you may find your prob goes away

it's not two pipes to drain the system it's most prob the flow & return for the heating, the drain off on the boiler will drain the upstairs & also allow the boiler to be changed with min water being left in it & you are going to do work on his heating system :roll:

if it was me i'd just put a soldered dot on it

yes you could well be right now i've had another look, was actually talking about cutting the plastic pipe, but now you have said that it would be a much better idea to cut the copper :oops:
