Is that a no then? :shock:

Paul, do you fancy coming in with me on a large housing development in the scarborough area? First and second fix on two/three bedroom houses, bathroom and ch? don't have full details yet, but it is not daily travelling distance for me, so it would mean me lodging up there.

Lorraine, A little learning is a dangerous thing. You are in no way qualified or experienced enough to offer advice on boiler/gas work. The compact boiler is just that- a boiler. It does not contain a prv, an expansion vessel or pump. These will easily add up to the cost of the system...

When you fill a sealed system thru filling loop the water is pretty aerated, this works it's way out of the system thru aav, microleaks etc. 1/2 bar drop is not unusual over a couple of months. That's what i tell my customers anyway, as i gallop away toward Brokeback mountain...

There's loads of these type of taps about, they come on a b&q suite for instance. I've always had to nip them up using only the force of my popeye like forearms - never had a leak yet. My nick is cowboyplumber because I am a total tw@t. What's your story Softus?

just hand tighten the tails, they'll seal fine on the o-rings

Gasguru you really are :D . Fantastic explanation.

Bob, are you stupid? Or just plain stupid? Who pays the employees van costs? NI? Holiday pay? Pension? Sickpay? Who pays for planning? Admin? Repairs? Tool costs. Parts. For you to sit in the van scratching your arse, cos you think you're underpaid,so you'll toss it off for a couple of...

Yes. You should worry. Call a Corgi.

Tony, I wouldn't worry about the spares too much. Went to a non-condensing 100 the other day (noisy system) been in for 7 years - householder told me 4 others on the street, none had ever been even serviced and they all run like new! Any problems with new installations and they get an engineer...

As a Viessman approved installer, I will confirm that their tech support / supply chain is awful, the boilers are a pain to set up till you get used to them. But given all this, I still recommend them as they are superb machines.

Chris, you can get modureg seperatley prt 20233. Have decided to replace whole valve though. My advice, under no circustances work on a ravenheat boiler. Especially for a mate. Up to 240 quid in parts now plus powerflush, and 18 hours labour... For not a lot ofcash.

According to Ravenheat and that little gas place tacked on to the side of their building. Have part no. in van. Will post tomorrow

Cheers lads - but is that change the whole valve assembly or the modureg part only?

I can picture Jan after a couple after a couple of days in your company... "And now Mr Jday, I am taking my largest Stilson wrench." "And now Mr Jday I am beating you to a bloody pulp" :wink:

buuuump

University educated plumber eh? Well done. God bless the Poles for saving us from dealing with gobshites like you.

How so? I choose my my customers, just as much as they choose me. jdey wrote: If I had the pipework replaced, the plumber could do a bad job with the joints, resulting in leaks in inaccessible areas. This is apparantly a not uncommon occurrence Nice !- of course we plumbers love...

Got a 2mb leak on a ravenheat/honeywellcomposite gas valve where the modureg joins main body. Probably a failed rubber washer. Ravenheat do not supply these on their own - only with modureg at £72 + vat!!! :shock: Any one any suggestions on replacement washer? Cheers, Cowboy
