    New Boiler Flued up a chimney

    Your right, and it will never be endorsed either cause the manufacturer ain't developed it. Point i was getting at is, as always who do you follow? Corgi who can take everything away from us( for now at least) or a manufacturer. The product is out there, people are buying it, and it's advertised...

    Yes there is a totally seperate qualification for gas pipe layers. but if they are installing the pipe line, sinking the box and issuing a new meter they should be connecting it as well. i'd ring them just to clarify that it's just the old pipe line they wont connect to. i had a customer who had...

    Ufortunatly a RGI is not allowed to do the inlet connection. This is the gas transporters area. we can change meters, annocondas etc if we have the met 1 quailification and the permission of the transporter. Transco etc usually do everything upto the meter so am puzzled why they say they wont...

    ...not another Hob installation Post...

    Firstly, even tho you say your not doin gas work. You are. Regs state any pipework to convey gas MUST be installed by an RGI. Secondly this dry pipe you talk of may already have a gas leak on it. So along comes friendly RGI and condem's your entire gas supply. It will be more than a warm meal...

    Can you recommend a Thermostatic Mixer Valve (TMV2 approved)

    the solar controller should work in conjuction with the cylinder stat. not seperatly, theory is if solar has heated up to set temp on cylinder it stops shunting heat to the solar coil if the controls are set up right. So by your installer altering the solar controller this problem shouldn't arrise

    Can you recommend a Thermostatic Mixer Valve (TMV2 approved)

    First and formost, i'd look at the cylinder stat and see wot its set at. it could be set higher than the recommened temp. . No point in heating it up to 65'c if your goner cool it as it leaves the unit it's wasting energy. but then there's the legionella risk to consider by lowering it below...

    Hot water always on with central Heating

    in theory your plan should work, but will still require floors coming up for an electrican to run the wires back to the boiler. As for re-pipin, most definatly, unless your really lucky and the cylinder is the first branch off the heating circuit. Rite the technical stuff, bearing in mind...
