Focal point balanced flue gas fire - Flame small

[mazkhan]

Hi,
I have a focal point balanced flue gas fire and when it is switched on the main burner does light but the flame is very small. I have cleaned the injecturs and the burner assembke. Checked all the pipes but the flame does still not increase.

I have changed the gas valve BM733 (Dungs) and still the flame on the burner is very small.

Can it be the assembly pilot ???

you should leave it off and call an RGI. You've gone beyond the realms of diy. Focal Point + DIY = ?

get an RGI to isolate the supply and rip it out is the only advice i would give on anything thrown together by this company

lethal and death traps are the first thoughts for anything made by focalshite.

Yes the work has been carried out by a RGI and has charged me £120 for the gas valve and the servicing, when I mean I its not actually me but what I mean is I have had the work carried out

The RGI is telling me its the pilot assembly and I donlt beleive him. He is also telling me the item is discontinued

never seen a bf focal point

sounds a bit like an incompetent numpty if he can't diagnose a fault with a fire. Get a different engineer and make sure he's suitably quailified to work on gas fires.

Cant see how it can be pilot assy, blockage in gas pipe to it if injectors /tap assy all been cleaned PROPERLY

he probably diagnosed it correctly, the problem is that even brand new parts are faulty from these clowns!

Hi,
I have spent £120 it's too late for the gas fire to be thrown out. The engineer has informed me that it may be the thrmocouple. But if it's the thermocouple the burner should not light is that correct ?

yes

With what you have wasted on the moppet you could have purchased a nice electric fire, and Probably live a lot longer to enjoy it.
