Hi, Just had a new Veissman fitted, 10 days ago.100-w.Installer, registered Veismann, said my 22mm pipe was ok, 0.8mlbar drop from meter to boiler. Had teething trouble, so Veissman engineer just left and said my boiler is operting 10% less due to 22mm pipe, needs upgrading to 25mm as much as...

Hi, Just had a new viessmann 100-w fitted." minor niggles".1.pipe has been terminated outside using 32mm pipe feeding into my rain water downpipe which goes into drain direct, using downpipe "t".The downpipe does not have a bend at the bottom, but fits into drain sleeve trap.The flexible...

Hi, Try this for size.I have waited 3 weeks for a Heating Manifold Diaphragm change from Homeserve.Came yesterday, 4 hours and 2 phone calls, 1 to Vokera, the 2nd to his college, he was told air block was causing diaphragm to operate in reverse.He claimed he was stumped.After bleeding,it was ok...

Thanks again Transam.I registered 18 months ago. Had loft done, refused cavity, because of random stone, and as boiler is likely to be defunct, just wondered about the scheme.Heared a lot of bad reports about Eaga.iguana, but you normally only hear the bad, not the good.Plus I wasn,t sure if...

Paid my dues over my last 50 years of working.Can you say the same?

I can afford a new one myself, and will try and make do till summer, but it means spending money to keep it.When does one say, "time to change".We are not all scroungers.Just wondered what warmfront entailed.Obviously asked the wrong people according to you

Just had a warning notice from Homeserve that flue inside single wall garage, has to be sealed.It has rubber on outside, has been for 17 years.Told me to cement, and that,s what I,ve done.Condemmed the flue again because cage broken, either replace whole flue or it will be condemmed.Asked if I...

Hi, My boiler to all intents has just been condemmed, without the sticker being put on.I am entitled to a new one using the Warmfront scheme,should I opt for it, when sticker is put on.Is there a thead of people using the scheme, and the results of it?Any advice would be much appreciated.

DONE.Gone from meter, inside box , to water riser, 600mm, then back to MET.20 metre run.cheers all for advice.

Hi Tony, If I don,t clamp within the meter box, and bring cable 15 metres underfloor to garage, which are opposite ends of bungalow,to consumerboard, nobody can test it,or even locate it unless they take carpet up and scrawl undefloor like me.This was the start of the problem. Homeserve...

Hi bengasman, much appreciated advice. If I didn,t have a cut out hatch, under Fitted carpet, there would be NO other convenient point, other than within the garage, where the boiler/CB/and all pipes are together.That would be ideal for me, except for the 600mm rule.If I covered the floor with...

Hi,As I have to do it, it has to be right.One question if I may.AS I have to bond within 600mm of gas meter, then run the 10mm2 cable approx 15 metres to the MET, just measured it, under the floor, which is accessable, scrawling,the actual bonding clip is not visible to whoever wants to check...

Thanks mikely, that clarifies it. The job will be done using 10mm2, and 600mm from both gas meter and water inlet pipe.to new MET on board. :cry: Cheers

Hi, Thanks, more confusion.As OP, my boiler has been in 16 years approx, installed by previous owner, who was/is a sparky.I automatically assumed it complied with regs, would that be 16th?1995.However, this week, boiler contract people, Homeserve came to repair it. During the repair, they did...

Cheers Tony, my mate, ex sparky, retired 3 years ago has just called to look at my job. He said the 600mm rule was "probably" to do with joints and conductivity.6mm was what he last used, and would have normally bonded all at boiler point.Shows how regs changeso quick.Just going to cost me arm...

Hi, Thanks for reply.As my gas run from the meter to boiler is approx 16 metres, all rigid, with one tee to gas fire, approx 1200mm from meter, the bond has to be before the tee.according to regs.Also I shall bond to water, on the way, continuous, so I reckon on 20 metres of cable.The tee would...
