Will someone direct me to where Intergas state that their combis can be on a vented system using an F&E tank?

 

[AGAS]

Well why not try looking in the boiler manual , you sure do make it hard work

 

[hard-work]

I did but, I never saw it. I will try again.

The Intergas web site says they only do one vented boiler, which is not a combi:

I still have not seen anything in the manuals.

It doesn't explicitly say that, in the same way that the OV doesn't explicitly say that it can be fitted on a sealed system, but both installation methods are acceptable. It's the same heat exchanger, after all

 

[hard-work]

I agree. But on inspection unless it is writing questions are asked.

 

[muggles]

Questions are always asked on inspections, that's kind of the point of them

 

[hard-work]

The questions have to be answered with proof in writing.

 

[Dan Robinson]

To whom? And why are they asking?

Have you bitten off me than you can chew ? Or are you trying to shaft some poor installer somewhere?

I asked:

So far I have not found any.

For Dannyboy...please.

The funny thing is I'm looking at the very words you need


Nowt like knowing how to read.

This doesn't say a word:
https://theintergasshop.co.uk/intergas-boiler-manuals/intergas-rapid-25-32-installation-manual.pdf

The web site says only the OV non-combi can be open vented.

I think you are telling porkies Dannyboy. I just rang Intergas and they say verbally all their combis can be open vented, but they will not issue anything in writing. The manual does not state the combis can be open vented. It is a matter of ringing them up then they will verbally confirm if questions are asked. That can just create hassle.

The "difficulty" for any boiler on an open vented system is knowing if there is water in the heat exchanger before deciding to fire up the boiler. If the boiler is restricted to use on non vented systems then a simple pressure sensor will detect lack of ( adequate ) water and prevent the boiler firing onto an empty heat exchanger. If the boiler is "authorised" for use on vented systems then the system to prevent ( prolonged ) firing onto an empty heat exchanger is more complex than a simple pressure sensor.

Got some to the wing person then
