when i was an apprentice copper was only to be used by the lowest of the low[plumbers]never touched it only at college,one of them used to use a bicycle with panniers which held all his tools and bits and bobs we used to put iron fittings in the panniers to slow him down,when he caught on he was...

j42 is all you need to test lpg right up to 120mb,easy to read has a little red ball in the miniscus :shock: handy to read and only 24inchs tall plus the liquid never flies out when some numpty turns the ecv on quickly :lol: also graded in .25mb easy to spot leaks

all the tools req to carry out the most basic of tasks would be carried by a rgi ,if you do not understand the terms used this made me assume [maybe incorrectly]that you did not have the knowledge or knowhow to do this task. setting up a modena pcb mf03 can be a fiddly job it also involves work...

the questions you are asking would imply you do not hold relevant qualifications or knowledge about gas.i would suggest you contact a corgi registered installer to sort this problem out for you sorry i cannot be more helpfull.

no need for special tools on the modena just the mi they explain how to set the pots and the pressures req for it.

always had escorts excellent vans bit on the small side though,changed to a astra pile of sh1t more grief then over to renault :oops: big mistake got rid of that for a hiace 2.4d lwb great van except for VERY heavy thirst for diesel now drive a new transit best of the bunch quick quiet and easy...

bster if you look long and hard you will find all the info you need :lol: even easier join www.argi.uk where experienced gas installers will keep you right and answer any queries on gas related matters,even telling you things like how low the working pressure has to be before it starts affecting...

£35 36 by 18 £40 60by12 last one i took out got 150 for 60kg of old pipe plus 40 quid for the cly :lol:

the smell does hang around as it is heavier than air it tends to drop and linger,wait untill you work with it in liquid form that is bad.had a pair of overals that got covered in liquid and had to throw them away after four washes in the launderette they still stank :oops:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- sheesh we dont half like making things complicated dont we just use a two port spring return valve, I dont see the point in breaking ya a**e fitting a three port why why not it works and adds another...

air pressure switch

so did i but apparently their are over 20 versions :shock:

the beauty of a print out is it shows exactly how you left the boiler,i have both a wet kit and fga but my preference is the wet kit for setting up boilers.

the point of the post was to show an alternative way of doing it without a expensive piece of kit that needs a service every 12/18 months plus annual calibration cert do the maths 300plus for a wet kit or 6oo plus for fga printer plus ongoing maintenance costs and calibration both do the same...

it is called a wet kit,most oil service engineers use them on boilers but they can be used on gas far more accurate than a fga if done properly,we carried out a comparison at work with two fgas and a wet kit the results from the electronic kits varied by 15 percent,the wet kit was on the...

you can set up a gas condenser without a fga,a much more reliable method is available does not require calibration and is more accurate only problem with it is you cannot get a printout to verify your findings.fgas at the moment have a built in tolerance erring on the side of caution so...

the tool used is called a spud key,failing that one half of a pair of footprints fits in the lugs,spud key will fit up too i" rad valves :shock: improvise

no wiring to be done,a tapstat is not allowed on a sys unless it is electrically controlled which is then a kov valve i believe danfoss used to make them but they were three port.third port being a bypass you can still get a three port tapstat made by drayton but it is mechanical so non...

scatman, fitting a two port tapstat on a gravity sys is surely a no no due to the fact you fit in the flow you block the vent,fit in the return and you block the cold feed,unless you can connect it without blocking either pipe,but if you can do that then it must be brought up to c plan,which...

good boiler engineers are not made they are born that way ask god[agile]wheather he can walk the talk is a different matter,in my experience a good service engineer is a lousey installer but god will differ because he worked for the bbc so every thing was done right.by the way what happened to...
