Potterton Profile 60E shuts down

No wonder the pump in the video is jammed!

Its been fitted at the wrong angle!

It's been fitted correctly.

Good job he didn't have to touch pump valves..

Not only does it appear to be fitted with the shaft at an angle above the horizontal, but it has been fitted with the electrical connections underneath instead of on top!

Reminds me of when I had pointed out one like that to a trainee who mentioned it to the installer.

The installer replied he had fitted hundreds like that. Trainee replied " well you have fitted hundreds wrongly then!"

Looks like you need to go back to school Tony
Here a bit of light reading
Look at figures 1 and 2

Gotta feel for that trainee Tony.....how do you sleep at night???...blind leading the blind surely??

Exactly!

It shows that you must not mount with the shaft vertical!

With a little thought you will deduce that it should not be fitted at about 45 degrees either.

For exactly the same reason which all RGIs should be aware of!

...what has it got to do with a RGI FFS..
Shaft should rise slightly above the horizontal.
RTFM..
BTW ..why are you fitting circulators when you're clearly NOT a heating engineer.

 

[DP]

Tony there is no denying the pump shaft should not be vertical, (marked with a big cross in the manual), else Grundfos people would be cross and you could get smacked for fitting the pump like that

The video does not show pump in that orientation!!

Perhaps you could say what the point is of your post and how it is relevant to Youtube clip

Oh dear!

 

[DP]

Dilalio, hand on heart, Tony is a clever man.

He shoots himself in the foot when he starts saying how good he is and believes others fail to raise above mediocre level?

 

[dilalio]

Hey, I get that!
My "oh dear" was because I knew he'd not thunk it through...
