Anyone know where I can find so install manuals for a vertex flue on an old Worcester 240 combi.
I popped into to look at one with no heating (pretty sure it’s a controls issue) but wanted to get some info on the flue before I attempt to fix it.
Never actually seen one in the flesh.
Would you do literally everything? So drain fully drain central heatings system and drain the cylinder too? Or would you just do loft tanks and turn off mains, open taps?
Thanks
Taken a couple of days off to do some jobs at home never seem to get any time , topped up the insulation in the loft , fitted a new towel rail , we treated ourselves to a new TV for crimbo as there's nothing else we needed ours was about 10 years old so had to be home for the delivery.

Hi folks.
What are you guys using to test water quality with a softener installed please?
What’s everyone using?
General isolations valves for 15mm pipe to taps, toilets etc
The £1 are crap
The £5-6 levers are a bit overkill
There doesn’t seems to be a middle ground valve
Does the forum seem quiet in your opinion? I’m on another forum and there’s several plumbing, heating and gas related posts usually daily, but certainly more frequently than on here. Could it be the adverts, as mentioned here? Maybe it’s the minimum amount of characters required? Or maybe it’s...

Carried out a routine service on a Valliant 637 fitted by me some 12 years ago now , replaced heat ex insulation £47.50 + vat I thought was a bit expensive ? all was ok till I checked the combustion air intake and found similar readings to in the main flue so meant a strip down and a ring round...
Want to change waste and change trap for plastic. If I can get a compression coupler over that little bit of horizontal waste pipe I can do the rest as have box of loads of random waste bits and pieces. But if I cut off the trap and then find nothing goes over that bit of pipe I'm screwed...
Needs to be suitable for gravity fed hot and preferably from Screwfix, Toolstation, Wickes, B&Q.
I know some have the bolt at the front as have randomly noticed, but can't remember which. Hoping someone did one recently and remembers.
It's either than or really awkward cutting out of backing...
Standard CH white rad, flow and return connected at the top, bottom connections blanked, make-shift bleed fitted on pipework at top straight after one of the valves, ignoring looks as being used for temporary heat, not fitted to wall, sat on two wooden blocks, it should get hot/work normally yes?
Saved another Valliant from the scrap yard fitted this some 15 years ago and it missed a few services over the years , developed a fault through the COVID years at a guess , get a few of these each heating season . Kop

Hi folks.
Where do you guys go to find a brick match please?
I have been to an ariston e combi evo the I believe has a leaking main heat exchanger.
I can’t isolate the flow and return as they drip so need to open up the SS heat exchanger.
I have the new gasket but it’s not a full circle like Vaillant seals and is held together with a staple ( I assume for...

Hi,
I have my boiler on a boiler plan with Baxi. The heating hadn't been turned on since spring (a rookie mistake no doubt.) Engineer visited but he was only there to service. I think he briefly called for heating while doing whatever he was doing and then said it went "crazy" noise wise and...
