Ok guys, Finished off all the pipework yesterday. Came across what COULD be a problem in the future. There is quite a bit of corrosion on what i think is called the manifold. :( Is this a result of the "Active flux" that was mentioned earlier and should i replace the manifold while...

Corgiman, Each man to their own trade but to screw a new boiler to the wall, extend 5 pipes 9 feet and give me a bill of £750.00. That is what 3 plumbers quoted me all within 20 to 30 quid of each other... If i didnt know better i would say they knew each other :? all said 1 days...

The one i used was the new one, same as the stuff you use... So does soapy water errode the pipe as well ? Weird stuff this plumbing.. I thought my job was tricky and dangerous but i wouldnt like to put my name to a gas pipe that may corrode 25 years down the line :shock:

Hi Paul. I did exactly what the Plumber told me to do.. I bent gas pipe instead of using solder elbows, it is away from the water pipes , as in isnt touching them and i used plastic push fittings... Only joking :shock: All the gas pipes WILL be checked by the corgi guy, before he pressure...
