Thanks IdealMan I will have another look tomorrow. But as to the other question should the DHW vessel have water in it or is this faulty as well?

Yes the problem is only showing on the heating, the hot water discharges out through the wall, so the customer then just repressurises the system until it happens again. There is no problem with regards to the Hot Water as far as I know.should there be water in this vessel?

So what is the small vessel? This releases water when the bicycle tyre valve is pressed! Does this have a diaphramn as well. What I am asking is does this vessel have to be replaced as well?

8 litres.... I must be looking at the wrong bit... Are you talking about the conical shaped vessel?

You certainly did BlahBlah. Good advice!!!!

Thanks for the quick response Ideal man... I will give the bottom access a go. Can I just ask if you know why the Ideal has such a small expansion vessel.

I have got to tell you about this great bit of kit...... I have only had this pipe freezer for about 10 days and gentlemen I have to tell you that if you are anyway slightly considering buying one I would highly recommend it. I have used it 12 times already and have avoided all the frustration...

Hello Gents... I have to replace the expansion vessel on a Ideal Response 120 which should not be to much of a problem and while I am about it I will replace the PRV as well. My problem is this.. the underside of the boiler is pretty inaccessible and by sqeezing my head under it I can see the...

Well gents I have just ordered the BES one. (Freezemaster 280D) I have a great job to do on Tuesday which would involve a full drain down to replace a pushfit repair that was going to be buried under a concrete floor. Why do people think that a weeping joint will miraculously seal itself when it...

As I only start work after I have had a coffee, this does indeed seem like a great bit of kit. Anybody got any preferences as to the makes available. I have looked at the Freezemaster but I believe that Arctic (same people as the canned freeze) make one as well.

I am a bit like you, I really appreciate my freezing kit when I come up against the badly designed system from HELL :twisted: :twisted: and you do know before you even attempt the drain down that you are going to have lots of problems getting the air out at the refill stage. I have had to...

I am thinking of investing in an Electric Pipe Freezer, at the moment I use a Polar Ice can freezing kit but to be honest I find myself having heart failure every time I use it in case it lets by. I have been thinking about getting an electric one (Possibly a Freezemaster 280D) about £700 from...

And a Big Thanks from me as well......

Thanks Gents... I will take your advice and try the Ideal. I will let you know how I get on. So as far as you are aware it is OK to run the condensate pipe into the washing machine outlet on a sink trap.The consensate is acidic from what I remember does this still mean it's OK to run it this...

Thanks for the reply Perdantic. What is the difference between the Isar and the Icos? I have had a look at the icos and read through the installation manual online and it does look simple enough even for someone like me that does not fit a load of boilers.Is it preferable to run the condensate...

Hello Gents... I have to install a new boiler for a conventional system and to be honest I am at a loss as to which one to recommend to my customer. I have installed a few Non Condensing Combi Boilers and have tended to stick with Worc/Bosch and Baxi but this is going to be my first Condensing...

I am almost certain that the underfloor pipes are OK. The boiler that I removed was an old Sauniere Duval, and I know that it wasn't banging and clicking before I installed the new boiler, could it be the pump is so much stronger on the new BAXI? Any Help Appreciated!!!!!!!

Kev... Sorry about the delay reporting back... I tried your method and got a little air out of them, but the tennant in this property reckons that the problem is still there. I went back round and drained the system down again and with a hose connected to the drain down point I flushed mains...

Never underestimate the lowly Gas Fire... I service and instal lots of them and most people think that because the Heat input is under 7kw they just assume that they are not a safety risk. Trust me on this.. THEY ARE!!! They are designed to have natural looking flames and not a nice blue gas...

Thanks Kev... I will give your method a try and let you know if it cures it!!! I suppose it just gives more weight to the old saying.... "Never work for friends or relatives, it always costs you more in time and callback " Cheers mate
