you get some experience gas fitter,s on here also,,

that,s why i thought i,d post on here, as far as training goes i know what to do (take out old liner install new and cut back pipework to as far back as possible, and make sure all inlets, exit for pipework sealed etc..

but just thouhgt i,d get an other view on it that,s all ...allways good to get another view ,, but like yuo said it would be more app. to go on CC..
i,ll just come on here for the simpler things

Seeing as you now know what to do, tell me WHY and for what reasons you will be fitting a new liner after removing the old one. Bearing in mind you have not visited the job yet

It all depends on the fire, but many fires can work into a standard brick chimney but that will still need the old liner removing and a suitable termination fitted on the stack.

EH. we know that Agile its basic . i wanted to know WHY he was going to fit a new liner without even visiting the property. And there are other reasons why a liner may be required on a fire install which cannot be determined unless actually in property.

IF this is the standard of question you discuss in the combustion chamber no wonder its a closed forum it would frighten the public to death to see what basics are not known.

Thats why I said its better asked in the combustion chamber!

However, as he is new to this work then at least he is asking first so that he does it properly first time.

You dont learn experience in a classroom! In general practice the number of fire installs one does is very small.

For boiler repairmen like yourself and others on here it maybe a small number but for proper gas men that do the full range of the industry then it is not and this is a basic question that the OP clearly doesn`t have clue . And would be better leaving the job alone than ask others who also only have an idea.
Agree you don`t learn as much in classroom but you certainly don`t learn it on an internet forum you learn by working with people who know what they are doing otherwise you leave DEAD bodies lying about. SIMPLE
