    8mm control tap/ valve needed

    For the small continuous flows that are needed on such a heater, a Toby type valve as used on vaporising cookers or fires is the most reliable solution, but that would require a positive head to the feed. That would either be by gravity, or maybe a small electric pump as used in many marine...

    Recommendations for New Oil Burner - Equivalent to Riello G2SX (419T55)

    In the very unlikely event you need to reset the electrode gap, under no circumstances try to bend them. If you slacken off the nuts at the back, you can rotate them to the correct position. As you have replaced every component that can cause continuous running without lockout, it is difficult...

    He can't fix it so I'm suppose to replace my oil boiler. Really?

    Trianco Eurostar boiler problem

    The oil pipes are sufficiently malleable to be able to be adjusted to relieve any strain. i've always fitted these to the pump and then connected the top case end. it sounds more like the pump is fitted too tightly into the motor. The grub screws only need to be nipped up to eliminate rotary...

    WB Heatslave 12/14 lockout

    If you turn off the hot water demand, then you take power off the burner and the lockout will go out. If you re-instate the demand, then the light will come back on. What happens if you press the lockout lamp?

    Installer insists on Combi with unvented cylinder

    Hrm wallstar bentone bf1 lockout issue.

    Exactly which HRM boiler do you have? Presume Wallstar combi if you have diverter and microswitch. If it will run after purging air in the supply, but after a couple of runs you have to purge it again, then you have an air leak somewhere. Recheck all your connections. The diverter valve has no...

    HRM Wallstar air problem

    is there any evidence of leakage around the pump shaft seal? I've seen this cause the ever growing bubble. HRM always discount a NRV at the tank. At one I used to service, I 'cured' this problem by replacing the factory NRV with a conventional NRV and thermostatic wheelhead isolation valve...
