VR33 is not designed for use in the UK, neither is it approved. Note: You should now be getting a suitably qualified/registered person to check the boiler over on completion as the front panel forms a secondary combustion seal on this appliance.

I’m not going to hijack the OP and I get what you mean. But I have to say it as I see it. I don’t come on here to wave the big “I know more than you do” flag - I just want people to be aware that they need to be cautious when opening these things up. If an ACS centre signs someone off and a...

I am not sure what is so confusing about all of this... Warning: Rant about to start... This type of boiler has a pre-mix burner; the main "combustion" chamber (The silver tumble dryer drum) is under positive pressure... Gas and air are mixed at the head of the burner and pushed into the...

Construction or demolition requires an upper tier - But repairing a boiler surely cannot be construed as construction? After all, that's why it takes a couple of months to fill a bag; we are not talking huge volumes of waste here.

Personally, when clients have/want eTRVs and need new TRVs; I supply and fit the Drayton EB valves. These are the same valve bodies that come with the TRV4, in-built balancing, replaceable seals and quite simply one of the best TRVs out there in my opinion. For the amount you'd pay for a Tower...

Remove and make safe the BUS wires from Boiler Remove the RT 24v link in Boiler L Boiler to L on Hive N Boiler to N on Hive 230v RT Boiler to 4 on Hive Note: You should be getting a suitably qualified/registered person to check the boiler over on completion as the front panel forms a secondary...

Theres not many systems that I drain these days to change a valve and sealed systems make it a doddle to work live. But then again, I’ve been doing it coming up to 20yrs now, you get a feeling for systems that are going to soak you. Turn all the other rads off on their trv/wheelhead, release...

Great to hear. As for the reasoning... We use a variety of system wiring configurations in the UK, some low voltage and some high voltage. As such, some boiler manufacturers have both high and low voltage sides to their control boards. On packaging and shipping the manufacturer will leave a...

You need to take the 24vRT link out

Honestly, it's not as bad as it initially seems... You'll be amazed at the dust it kicks up though, so if you are going in-to-out - Keep the door closed.

Sorry, can you post some pictures of your wiring please? I am a little confused as to what the fault is... Nest is supposed to turn on when turned up above the current temperature? And will turn off when the set temperature is lower than the current? Surely this is right? Sorry, I didn't...

You have a Mini S24 which I believe does not need a permanent live when in “System Mode” (Check your manual, frame 27?).... As such, it would get its power from either HW calling (Hive term 3) or from either Zone Valve opening and engaging the micro switches Orange Wire. There are alternate...

Sounds good - If it is a Vaillant, it should have two metallic latches at the bottom to grip the front corners.

Wow, he is a legend! Already have waste carriers license as it's kind of stupid these days not too; especially when it's free for the volume I generate. As for the cardboard, paper and polystyrene - Its what I used to do until the Hitler at the tip kicked me off for dumping commercial waste...

We use homebridge.io as I really struggled to get Hassio working... Was originally doing on a Pi, gave up and installed HomeBridge on our media server, works a treat.

Depending on the model, you will have an RT24v connection as well, this needs to be removed to enable the RT240v - It is likely that the installer removed this when they fitted the appliance; but if the appliance is running 24/7 - It is usually this 24v connection. As for the case; it is a...

It would be on 24/7 and you'd be getting a Christmas Card from your gas supplier as well as taking a quick trip to TKMAXX to buy some Speedo's for lounging around the house in ;) That looks like a Vaillant, for safety's sake... Please make sure you check that case on refitting... This boiler's...

You said you have a upstairs and downstairs zone valve? Hive is a "Zone controller" - It does not function with the TRVs; although you can now buy "hive" branded eTRVs should you wish to go down that line. As for the zone control, if you have zone valves and they are 5 wire valves, you'd be...

So your drill has a safety clutch, for a standard dry diamond cut it will "probably" do the job, but it was definitely not made for core drills, spec on that says max 68mm (2 1/2"?)... It will do the job in most brick and block, but may take a couple of years off of the drills life and be a bit...

Do you have a zone valve for the hot water? And yes, it is possible with a Hive and additional Hive thermostat, but the wiring will vary somewhat to the standard methodology depending on whether you have a HW zone valve.
