    Baxi Brazilia Fitting

    not a chance....... Like any gas appliance it requires ventilation air for combustion, in the case of the brazillia it takes that 'air' from the outside. As such it must be placed on an outside wall.

    2x Potterton Suprima 70s lock-out

    If they are the newer PCB then press the reset for >10 secs and count the flashes when you release. This will tell you whether it is ignition lockout or overheat. Sorry, off the top of my head cannot remember which is which. Details are in the install manual for the new PCB. Often the...

    GPS on new BG vans

    I have no idea But my caddy, which is very new has a trip switch under the bonnet that kills all power if something is draining the battery after the ignition is off (I think there is some sort of time delay) I'm wondering if this will kill power to the tracker???? Otherwise I think I'll...

    Working for British Gas these days

    I actually think that to headline £1500 in the new scheme for each of the Workload/Quality and Sales is probably achievable. An extra £3K...... thank you very much I think they will use the tracker to get rid of the people that really take the p*ss

    British Gas Requirements

    Really need to see this to comment fully. There are some ventilation configurations for Warm Air Units (WAU) that differ from the conventional. These are manufacturer specific and normally include a shaft/pipe coming down from the loft space. If this is the case then the BG engineer may...

    Stripping paint off exterior brickwork

    I live in a Victorian villa style house, the brickwork is in good condition and painted...... I would like to remove the paint from the brickwork. I realise this is not an easy job. Some of the bricks are of a different colour, detailing and such like at the corners and around...

    hydroflow issue-serious answer required please

    I'm pretty sure that the only difference is that one has a plug attached and the other does not. If you are using it for a combi, position it on the cold main into the boiler, close as poss to the boiler. I tend to wire it to the L/N of the boiler. If you are using it with a cylinder then...

    New Gas Fire spillage test Help

    I'd be interested to know how much you are paying BG to check the work of your engineer? They have completed the ASV. If 'spillage at the side is normal from heat reflection' then the manufacturer should put it in the manual. Well done to the BG engineer for doing his job well. Far too...

    Anyone here work for British Gas?

    Few company's will invest as much time and money in your apprenticeship. What you take from it and what you learn will depend upon many factors. The standard of BG apprentices varies. But the opportunity is their for the right person with the right attitude to learn a great deal and set...

    Potterton Profile 60e ADVICE PLEASE!

    Don't quote me on this but I think the '60e' is younger than the '60' so probably this side of 2000. On the whole a good reliable boiler that will go on and on. I would happily have one in my house and be happy if I saw one in a house I was about to purchase. But the best of boilers won't...

    Combi: Simple as ABC really

    1. There is a programming dial but I don't know how to set it. Can anyone help? Try User Guide as I assume its the internal one, try WB web site if you have not got one 2. When you prog the boiler is it the equivalent of switching it off and on or does it stay on and just ignite the boiler...

    Magna Clean Valves Arrrrrrrgh

    Spoke to a rep from Magnalean at a BG Event, he assured me that they would not fail. I suggested that if that was the case they should be making pump valves!!! He claimed that the magnet would draw the sludge away from the valve and this was why it would not fail They are hopeless. I don't...

    Potterton Puma 80e Low pressure switch + release valve

    No need to change the whole thing. Once the pressure is zero and the boiler is drained get a pair of grips on the black plastic edge of the PRV and unscrew it from the brass fitting. The workings of the PRV can then be cleaned/changed. Make sure you clean/check the inner edge of the brass...

You can use a rubber hose to connect up a cooker as a cooker is...
