Ordered one of these through the companys parts desk today and was 130, dunno how much of a reduced price they get them for.

Think A gas pipe should be more than 20-25mm away from an electrical socket ect unsure if this also applys to wiring.

Yea, Ive got my City + Guilds Level 3 and we covered Tumble dryers and Worked on them for a week, but It wasnt covered by my ACS so I cant work on them either. No one even belives theres such a thing when I tell them anyway lol, never seen one in a house myself.

Was just looking through the bes website and seen some mighty cheap pipe bending springs. gonna buy a few for handyness, i dont do alot of work id need them for but as i sed, theyd be handy, Is it easyer/better to use internal or external springs? and does anyone know if the...

Oh yea, And as far as Im aware, Even in scotland, you must leave paperwork if youve worked on a gas appliance. Not neccessaraly a certificate etc, but some kind of paperwork regarding saftey checks he did, tightness testing, working pressure etc. very interested to know if u need...

So in Scotland do you not need to register a new boiler install with corgi either? Just wandering as i was thinking of changing mine, (im registered) but through a company, so dont have my own ID, and under the impression from my boss Im not allowed to use the buisness ID for my own stuff.

HI there, Hate asking stupid questions but whats the name for the ballvalves you get for toilet cystrens that (if i remember right) that have a tube in them or that that makes them re-fill quietly? how many sizes do they come in ?

Might be a silly question. whats the home owners sellers pack ? How wuld this affect newly trainned folk? I take its got something to do with homers?

I thought technically none of us were allowed to just throw away any waste, as its industrial waste. Or is this PCB thing a different one?

Hi all. Was in a customers house today who was complaining of whooshing noises from the gas. Turned out to be the water restriction as it passed through the TRV's, I was wandering if this is common with possibly cheaper brands ? There was no arrows on them so i dont suspect they were on...

If you turn the boiler on Ceantral heating mode to heat the radiators, do any radiators heat? It def sounds like the pump and may just be bad luck, something in the boiler may be causing the pumps to short out. As sed before take the little silver cap off and see if its even turning...

id listen to bones advice first as its not def its the valve. There many makes but the common ones could be A dark blue plastic valve A silver metal valve A plastic grey/white valve any of them look like yours ?

Sorry never read you post full there, the stats are fine so would go for burner pressure or blocked calorifier, if it was powereflushed then the calorifier would not have been flushed unless somone opend a hot tap at the time to divert the water through it so may well just need induvidually...

Does it over heat while the HW is running or just after you turn a tap off? If its just after then it prob the pump over run stat not clearing the heat out the boiler, The calorifier on these is the white one with the coil through it if i remember so could be flushed throught quite easy...

It could be done complying with the regs, if the pannel you mount it on has been securly fitted, ie not just agains a thin wall of the shed, It would reqire a timber frame kit for the flue, and would need a non combustable sheet behind the boiler against the wood. As the other guys sed...

Hey, Was jus wandering exactly what the script is in scotland now for this. I know all new gas appliances must be registered with corgi, but what really happens if you dont? What are the consequences for those who have a new boiler fitted and the benchmark books gone 'missing'?? Does...

this will cause the pressure to drop, but how much of a drop are you talking about ? Is it just a little drop or are you comming in in the moring and finding the pressure at 0 If its just dropping a bit then yes you can replace the auto airvent (a corgi regesterd person can i mean)

Could this happen to the pump and cause the temp differential across the plate to plate to be less than it should be causing the boiler to over heat ? but still be capable of heating the rads fine ?? I had this a few weeks ago and was adv by manufacturers to replace the plate to plate heat...

Lol my answer was think about an upgrade but the owner wasnt present so dont know whats going to be the next step. Its a ridiculous system, Iv not been in this job long but Iv not seen one close to this bad before.

Do you hear any bubbling or hissing noise comming from teh boiler when its lit, if you left it on for a while would it light again after a wee while? one possibility is the pump isnt working and not moving the heat out the boiler.
