New Intergas Rapid Boilers

[JohnHarrison]

It might be fuzzy, but the big letters clearly stating Pressure Relief Safety Valve, and Expansion Vessel might have given you a clue.

But which is right and which is wrong? Chavs cannot face these sorts of dilemmas.

Perhaps because...

A) I know what I'm talking about.
B) I know the product history
C) I've seen the product.


Hence I know what's right and you're a clueless halfwit? Playing Google Warrior.

Why should I believe an obnoxious Chav? I go by what the makers write. I must admit I was shocked by the documentation.

 

[Dan Robinson]

Obnoxious maybe, but clueless not. Who gives a monkey's if you're shocked?

I have to go by what the makers write. Which was shocking to say the least. Now you are telling me to believe a Chav.

 

[Dan Robinson]

No, I'm telling you I know what is right. You've decided I'm a chav... which obviously means you don't know what a Chav is....


But then, I couldn't give a monkey's. I am happy in your ignorance, and even happier that I am not.

Was considering a couple of these boilers for a large project we have brewing but there are a couple of components (funnily enough not listed in the manual) that make it inappropriate for the application.

 

[JohnHarrison]

Oh I know what a Chav is.

Fantastic! Are they making tunes with her bottom?

OK - back on topic...

Dan you mentioned there were a couple of components that deemed it unsuitable for one of your projects, what would those be?

Is there any other reason for the difference in price other than what has been discussed here thus far? Are any of the parts older / inferior or is it just a case of economics (lesser warranty etc)?

It appears to be pretty much a HRE but with an internal EV, assuming they use the same HX as you mentioned - and will both be using ErP pumps by the end of this month if not already.

Thanks

Tony has mentioned a couple. But in my case - not counting the warranty - the configuration of the flue components inside the boiler would mean a premature need for severe maintenance. I doubt they would be relevant to the vast majority of boiler installations.

I assume you mean the boiler is running 24/7, so you have to resort to the non-Rapid models.

I am interested in Dan's further thoughts on these.

We would expect that all boilers would happily run 24/7.

But there have been issues with some models that in practice cannot run successfully when condensing all the time as would occur when DIRECTLY running UFH or even some water heating with a low return temperature say below 50 C.

What would those issues be? And what models?

They are known by some professionals but that information is not usually dispersed in the public domain.
