Good afternoon, About 10 years ago, we had a new kitchen installed. My daughter had at this time purchased a new house and she had porcelain polished tiles installed in her kitchen on a cement floor. My wife wanted these tiles, and a coalition of other family members agreed. I was not too keen...

OK lads, I plead guilty - the 100mm entry should ofr course be 10mm . I'm having trouble sourcing 3/8 inch pipe - will a 10mm pipe fit into a 3/8 inch gate valve? If not will I need some converter to mate a 10mm pipt to a short piece of 3/8 inch pipe? Sorry for the confusion1 Jinny

Good afternoon. The gate valve on my oil tand is rather old. It accepts a 3?8 inch copper pipe. Will I have any problems connecting a 100mm copper pipe to the valve? If the pipe will not fit, how can I get around the problem? Any help would be gratefully received! Jimmy

Hello John, Glad to be able to tell you that I replaced the Control Box and this cured the problem. Many thanks for your help. Later, out of curiosity, I used a junior hacksaw to extract the electrics from the defective control box. I found that the relay was mechanically goosed. - (to use an...

Thank you John. I'm 100 percent sure that electrodes are positioned correctly. The next problem is where to source a control box. The Control Box is a LOA24 173A27. I see that Siemens produced this control box, although it has Bentone stamped on it. A Siemens Control Box LOA24 171B2E is...

Hello John Following your suggestions, I checked the Photocell Resistance with no light = 120K Resistance with Led Torch shining into face = 1K I powered up the unit with the photocell covered and there was still no spark. Bearing in mind, that I have already replaced the ignition unit...

Many thanks John for your help and explanation of the boot up sequence Getting back to my problem, I replaced the ignition unit but the problem still persisted. I removed the burner from the boiler and powered it up on the bench. There was no spark visible. It seems to me that the problem lies...

I'm slightly confused. I accept your opinion that I have probably cooked the transformer. To check for a spark, can I simply remove the burner from the boiler by removing power and disconnecting the oil feed. Then, could I simply power the burner on a bench and press the start button and check...

Thanks John, Will check later

I have a Bentone Burner Sterling 128 app. 13 years old. Recently. the burner has been very difficult to start in the morning ofter requiring 4 or 5 resets. I noticed that there was a leak in the oil feed to the burner. I replaced the oil filter, the fire valve and re-tightened the pipe...

Many thanks Bob - Up and running - I am very grateful to you. Jimmy

I wished to replace the Oil Pump in my Bentone Sterling ST108 Burner. I studied a video produced by Danfoss outlining the steps to be taken in replacing their BFP 21 L3 Oil Pump. No problems except the video featured a different burner. I'm going insane in trying to figure how I can detach...
