    Gas pipe sizing

    It's more probably a case that the builder did not explain the need for the existing gas fire supply to the plumber, as they had removed this also when demolishing the roof. I dodn't think it's incompetant, just bad communication. As said the builder has a load more work to do so I need to...

    Gas pipe sizing

    The pipe was removed as it was in a suspended ceiling under a soild concrete floor and got damaged, but would have had to have been raised anyway. Sacking the numpty, no, we are reasonable folks, as is the builder, we would like to keep this friendly but rule out any errors, sure you know...

    Gas pipe sizing

    Hi, can anyone help difuse a potential problem with our contracter/plumber? As basically as possible we are renovating a fairly good sized house. The builders ripped out an existing 28mm gas main that ran 8 metrs through the property. It supplied a 100btu CHB and tee'd off to feed a 5kw...

    Condensation in back boiler flue sensor

    You guys crack me up, not. How you make guesses like that seems to be an afliction of certain types. What part of this gives you the right to make assumptions the way you have? Shoot me down in flames if you like but please expect a suitable response. To make things clear, this is not a...

    Condensation in back boiler flue sensor

    Well I checked today to see exactly what the problem was. Evidentaly it did this once a month ago, the 1st time the HW was used, they then tried the heating about 10 days ago and it failed again. What I didn't realise at the time is that the boiler, since being commisioned in April, has only...

    Condensation in back boiler flue sensor

    Ok, technically not meeting building regs, but not the greatest crime in the world. Still more efficient and safer than the old unit and for £200........... When it failed the auto igniter unit sparks as dictated by the programmer but no gas is turned on. After around 10 secs of trying the...

    Condensation in back boiler flue sensor

    Not particularly cold, quite windy tho'. Regarding legality this is a supply/efficiency issue not safety. Were any of you pro guys aware of this? The unit was fitted by a registered chap so was proven safe at the time, whether technically he was allowed to fit it obviously is a question to...

    Condensation in back boiler flue sensor

    It is a 54/4. The complete bbu and gas fire was £199 inc del and arrived on a Worscester banded wagon via the plumb centre. This was in April this year. The boiler has been fine since then, but only worked on hot water so far. There is a Co2 detecter fitted in the hall next to it. Never...

    Condensation in back boiler flue sensor

    No, no fancy fan asisted stuff. A simple gas back boiler with copex flue. From what I understand gas back boilers were more or less outlawed a few years ago in favour of more effecient kitchen/combi boilers?. As a result the major players sold of their existing stock at much less than...

    Condensation in back boiler flue sensor

    We have a problem with a replacement back boiler. Its a Glow Worm Miami 4. Everytime the boiler isn't used for a while the flue sensor device appears to get blocked by condensation. Removing the silicone tube and sucking/blowing clear allows the boiler to be reset. Is this common? Any...
