    Should a boiler be classified as ID/AR for low gas rate/pressure?

    UPDATE: Independent Gas Safe engineer came. He said the valve just needed adjusting. He cleaned the burner and all good except an NCS given that the kitchen cabinet it sits in is slightly too small for the manufacturer's ventilation dimensions. I've learned by lesson. Don't use PP and get an...

    Should a boiler be classified as ID/AR for low gas rate/pressure?

    I'm still trying to get a feel from the point of view of the gas safety inspection. For a system boiler that is non-modulating would you ID/AR/NCS if the gas rate/inlet pressure is say 20% below the nominal rating from the factory?

    Should a boiler be classified as ID/AR for low gas rate/pressure?

    No readings were provided on the paperwork. I was told that its gas rate was too low and therefore it was dangerous. I did query but told it would need replacing. It's a Potterton Suprima. Could this be fixed by either adjusting the gas pressure adjuster, and or cleaning the burner?

    Should a boiler be classified as ID/AR for low gas rate/pressure?

    Hello, A boiler was given a ID because "gas rate failed" and "pressure at appliance failed". However, the guy who performed the tests signed the Responsible Person/Gas User box and not the Gas Safe Engineer's box, and vise versa, so I'm not even sure the paperwork is valid. In any case...
