hi peeps,

Just tested the gas pre boiler install and the ECV is letting by. Obv I won’t know if there’s a drop on the system until the ECV is replaced, do I halt the install until this is done or carry on cuttinggas pipe so I can take the oldboiler off?

Cheers
 
Disk the meter on the inlet side
Test carcass and meter but not ecv and flexible
 
Have you phoned it in ?
 
Anyone ever replaced a Keston with a new Keston and joined into the existing twin flue?????
 
Yea needs to be the right stuff, but I think you have to pressure test the flue to make sure it's sound

Air test it like drains
 
Where do they exit on the property?
 
The roof I think as can’t see them coming out the external walls

Need to check it's supported and terminal is correct etc

Also need to put your bung in it

Nothing like this ?
You must be able to make something up?
They're both open ended so it doesn't need to be a big pressure just as Shaun said, a quick drain test will do.
 
I don't know the cut off times but you can choose delivery by 10 the next day.

Ah can't complain mate, busy which is great.. Business is going well. Basically all I got done today was getting the old boiler off the wall and Cadent fitting a new ECV!
How about you Shaun, how's things?
 
That's good and you get some days like that

Just have to move on and do something else like hang the boiler and sort the flue out or flush the system etc

Very good slowly ramping up the kids are off so the schools are starting to pick up
