I'd have thought that my username was obvious?

Ar*eholes are people who go to Bernard Manning shows when they think he's an ar*ehole :lol: Softus: Much of your DIY advice is spot on but you don't half talk sh*te in this forum ... And I'm equally entitled to the opinion.

There may come a point in the distant future when house sales become dependant upon such things but we certainly aren't there yet thankfully. RichW's advice is spot on ... Completely ignore it. If a potential buyer is going to risk losing the purchase because of the lack of a boiler...

Hmmmnnn ... Copper pipe is a gas carrying part as are end feed fittings and isolating valves etc. I agree with Tryitandsee (to a point) ... Where does this stop? It would be okay for them to restrict their trade sales without Corgi registration as it IS ILLEGAL for professionals to...

A valid point from Tony. We all have our favourite boilers more based on familiarity and experience than much else and there are many people around who fit and maintain to a high standard boilers which I wouldn't go near if people paid me ... Oh yes, people do pay me :lol: I, for...

Try ... www.heatweb.com and take a look at the Pandora. Very versatile, very simple, very powerful and all very much DIY'able.

I agree ... If at max heating temp the system pressure does not rise much above 2 bar (Worcester actually state 2.6 bar) you don't need an additional expansion vessel irrespective of system capacity. I have a 440 in a four bedroom house with 15 rads and, with standard installation pressures...

Soggy_Weetabix wrote: Weren't we talking about gas? It's probable that the same deposit on a gas pipe would have remained sound ad-infinitum. Whilst you all seem to be ganging up on this Balenza character, you are skipping over the obvious point that, whilst the regs don't require it...

That explains the smell ... I thought it was the wife's cooking :lol: For the OP: I also currently have a Worcester Greenstar 440 floor standing combi and don't have any problems (even with the horizontal rain :wink: ) Key thing for normal rear fluing through a standard double skinned...

I actually live on Dartmoor National Park :lol:

True, still better to make sure nothing untoward happens though and that still comes down to competency ... I've met many extremely competent DIY'ers and some quite incompetent RGI's (IMO) ... And, of course, vice-versa. The key thing is to ensure the installation is safe which is why DIY'ers...

I missed this ... A joke presumably :lol:

I agree that the testing approved by Corgi on low pressure installations could be significantly better. Air pressure test to (say) 3 bar followed by standing leak and pressure test would be extremely easy to achieve and far safer ... Ho hum :lol:

Their house insurance would be equally invalid should anything untoward happen following a Corgi RGI fit.

Incorrect ... Anyone who is competant can. This has been discussed many times on this forum and I expect will be again. Professionals MUST be Corgi registered, DIY'ers who are competant can do gas legally provided they notify LABC and have the installation certified.

Point of accuracy Gas4You ... DIY'ers CAN do gas if they're competant and they must notify building control if they do so but have no obligation to inform Corgi ... Nor would Corgi be interested if they did.

I'd be interested in your experiences with Greenstars and water ingress Gasguru as I haven't come across this problem. The latest 440 uses the Condensfit fluing system which has a raised profile on the inside of the outer casing about 2" in from the terminal. This profile is about 5mm and when...

Who gives a sh**e ... We could do with a few degrees temperature rise in this country! Let the icecaps melt who cares if the lowlands flood ... Ever been to Norfolk? If you're concerned about global warming buy a house at the top of a hill and buy some sunglasses and sunscreen. Amen
