Boiler woes. Is there a plumber in the house?!

The yacht broker was on the 'phone.

I told him you'd call back later, when you'd finished just sticking a probe in somebody's flue ...

 

You will likely need a new gas feed also. The regulations changed a few years back. I think you need 22mm

 

We got away with the existing 15mm feed, as the gas pressure was ok.

 

I may be a bit gassy tomorrow. Is that any help?

 

Would you object to @jivedubbin or @Merlin Cat sticking a manometer up your bum? They have to check for minimum pressure. It's only a rubber tube.

 

Thanks for taking the time to post that detailed explanation, TLB is so great

 

I've been ill today so posts have been curtailed to allow time for chucking up and queasy stuff

 

I have been reading all this on here I fit Worcester Bosch boilers in my opinion they are the best there is, I would not like to comment on anybody's boiler set up without carrying out a visit first there is loads if opinions and facts in here but really you need to get a survey carried out by some one like myself, who gives a honest quote and advice, and before you all ask I carry out surveys free of charge as most quotes I submit I get.

So if anyone within twenty miles of Romford wants new boiler give me a shout.

 

we're all electronic now it avoids all the old sucking and blowing

 

I read between the lines that as the flue is the most likely bit to kill someone, only a mad plumber would risk the old, even if it still OK at the time, due to age and likely hood of it having to remain serviceable possibly for decades. But I have a good imagination.

 

Technology, eh? The bloke who did our boiler had a very impressive probe...

 

glad to hear it ,we are quite sensible lot ,but we do like to save a couple of quid to. You can by law only fit the flue that was made for a particular boiler ,this ensures the proper seal with the boiler .New back boilers when fitted are to have the flue liner removed for inspection and can be reused if in sound condition .you try pulling one out without making a pigs ear of it

 

Hear hear NEVER USE THE OLD FLUE!

 

Have you got the flue? (See what I did there...)

 

you'll be looking at 22mm gas supply minimum

 

Forgot to suck your teeth before saying it ...
