My Corgi registered fitter has just fitted a Worcester 42CDI Combi boiler. I have just read through a thread from last August where ideas were put forward but the original poster disappeared while the thread disintegrated into internal argument. Anyway, this is the problem :-
1. The 'commissioning' gas inlet pressure for this boiler is 18mbar at the boiler when full on.
2. when first installed the standing pressure was 21mbar (at the boiler) and the inlet pressure (at the boiler) on test was 14 mbar.
3. the plumber then fitted a wide bore feed from the meter to the boiler with 28mm pipe with 4 right angle bends only approx 6 metres long
4. this raised the standing pressure at the boiler to 28 mbar.
5. Under test the inlet pressure (at the boiler) only rose to 16-17 mbar!
Reading the previous post it would appear that if the regulator is not faulty then it could be a partially blocked feed. Is it the case that Transco should ensure 19 mbars 'working' pressure or not? Should my fitter contact Transco and insist on a proper working test? Do I have any rights to a proper gas feed?
Thanks,
david
