Pipes from Fan assembly?

[hughesey]

What are the 2 small pipes connected to the fan assembly?
One red, one transparent.
It doesn't say in the manual.

They are part of the safety system to prove to the boiler that the fan is working.

However, only a registered engineer should be replacing or even accessing a boiler fan.

its alright i'm not going anywhere near it!! i'd blow house/street up knowing my luck!
the gas man up the road is sorting it for us, the fan packed up and i noticed all these pipes on it last night, just wondered what they was for.
i take it, its for vacuum/pressure or something?
thanks for replying.

Why delete? I dont understand. Its a forum, for help/understanding....
Just cuz i wasnt going to do any actual work doesn't mean i dont want to know.... someone else might have wanted to know too?

Everyone says "I'm not touching it, I just want to know", once one person is told all the wont-dos become give-it-a-gos

For every person who posts a question there are perhaps another 50 who read it.

Certain jobs have safety implications and its obvious to most people that its inappropriate to post detailed advice on those gas and safety related aspects on an open forum.

There was a posting a while back from this fellow who started by saying he wanted to know how to do something "so that his gas engineer could do it for him". One of the gullible people gave him the information and it soon became obvious there was no engineer and he was trying to do it himself. The plain fact is that no gas engineer should need to be told how to do his job.
