Anyone used new Manometer Rigid Tube?

[Plumbs]

I saw these advertised in installer magazine.

Hmmmm.sometimes the simplest ideas are the best.

Mind you..instead of blowing £8.00 you could make your own.

I shall not charge you for my extension device!

Simply get a short length of 10mm tubing,straighten it,fit a short length of manometer tubing to one end and bind it inplace with insulation tape or similar. Next connect your manometer tube to the other end and thence to your guage...simples..

Totally pointless imo.
On the vid if he had dropped the controls he could have had a tube connected in 2 seconds longer.

Yes i tend to agree. The fact that there is a test point means that it will almost certainly be accessible. I could see that it might be handy in some circs for convenience but then again,you would have to have an equally long screwdriver/socket to undue the test point and then how would you test it when you had tightened it again? Squirt LDF all over the place to dribble onto the controls?

How would you test the ferrolis and vallants with the gas valve in the wrong way round???

These valves really grind my gears

I agree John and vaillants gas valve fixings on an ecotec pro28 R1 (TA80s I think) are a nightmare if you do not know how to screw them in lathered with silicone grease first if all when attempting to change valve for a replacement.

haha i applied and was sent one as a freebie as one of the first 25 to apply and got is yesterday, TBH i think it is simple and effective, you wont need it on every appliance, but there are some places it will be perfect for, one that springs to mind is on a BBU without taking the fire out, the retail price of neary £7 is way over the top, for what can be made out of a round pen refill and a 25mm of rubber tube, it i didnt pay for it so it is brilliant
