And Kev... Should I start with the Rad nearest the boiler?

Kev... So turn off all the rads except one,does this include closing the lockshield valve? And then what? just bleed the rad that is on? Is that the way you are talking about? I must sound really dim!!!!!

I have not investigated it properly yet, But I would guess that yes it has been clipped properly because it is under the floor...

Hello Gents.. I have just fitted a new Combi for a friend (As you will know from my previous posts I am CORGI registered but don't do lots of boilers). The friend that I fitted a BAXI 105e for has called me tonight to say there is banging coming from the pipework (Not rads or Hot water). I...

Merry Christmas.... Am I really such a bad man? Why does it always happen to me? I have spent the run up to Christmas helping those out that are in distress with their boilers, fixing them.... servicing them, just trying to keep the general population of South East london and Surrey warm and...

I called the Council and they were very helpful ( I don't think) they are going to look into it sometime.. I called the HSE and they won't do anything until they have received my RIDDOR Form which I have already sent.... I then decided to call TRANSCO and "HURRAY" they actually cared about the...

I will be ringing the Council in the morning.. I understand the Non legal arguments request on this Forum and I know the reasons for this. I just wanted to see if any other Registered Installers had come across similar situations. I am a great believer in the theory that if you do not know...

Kevplumb... Yes that is what I seem to remember, but CORGI say no that only works from NTCS upgraded to AR, not for AR to ID. I think that is a little strange as well. I am starting to wonder if I called Council Of Registerd Gas Installers or the CORGI owners club. Ha ha.

Oilman.... Mmmmmmmm I did already say that I know that I am legally covered by using the "Industry unsafe situations procedure" I was using this just as a Topic for comment about what others would do from a moral stand point NOT a legal one.Or is this just a Forum for telling people that they...

I am not a plumber ( Just a CORGI Engineer) so I can't advise you on plumbing rectification but I can tell you that you are NOT allowed to touch the burner pressure unless you are qualified to do so (and that means having the relevent appliance on your CORGI card) so if I was in your shoes I...

Let me tell you a very short story.. I went to a property in Croydon, SURREY (Name and address withheld for the obvious reasons) to do 6 Gas Checks on the bedsits within this house. I started at the top and worked my way down.. Bedsit 1... Radiant fire installed on a beautiful hearth of ply...

I tend to prefer the knee... I get it right every time and use my little finger as a 8mm former. You should see how I bend a lump of 22mm. Ha Ha

I must admit that I really try to stay away from fire tube, it looks very old fashioned. I install a lot of Limestone and Marble fireplaces as part of my gas work and find that most people want these things to work without any ugly pipework showing. I can normally bend my flexible tube by hand...

That is a quick answer... Many Thanks Ratonastick.. So if I cut off the old threaded end and connect using my Iso Tee then the seal will be gas tight between the fire tube and that Tee providing I use compound. They do say you never stop learning in this job. Cheers Mate.

I know this is not the right forum for this question but help would be appreciated. I am trying to install a new wall hung gas fired radiant heater. Here is my question.... The old heater was fed by the usual 8mm fire tube (Which I never work with as most DFE and inset fires I install I use 8mm...

I have a Whirlpool AWM6141/1 washing machine that keeps on pausing on the "Daily load" setting, if the pause button is pushed again then the program resumes from where it left off. This is obviously the setting that is nearly always used by my wife and the other programs work fine is there a...

I committed one of the ultimate sins on Friday and went round to fix a boiler at a friends house. "What is so wrong with that" I hear you ask!! Well I do try to stay away as much as possible from doing Boiler breakdowns as I find myself increasingly having to say to people that the reason their...

I will have to ask my friendly local boiler supplier for his input then on the flue sealing issue (I wonder if he rents out "Bungee" Ropes). I know what you all mean about the cheap boiler subject, but I am only doing what the customer wants, one cheap quote and one "recommended by your Gas...

I do completely understand your logic in that thinking oilman, there is nothing worse that talking to a bunch of CORGI engineers (I avoid them like the plague) I pitty my poor wife because she has to live with one. I just thought that some form of contact between those that are Registered would...

I am NOT advertising but I am a local(ish) CORGI engineer and will gladly help if you can't sort out your problem.
