Flue test points!

[Ermintrude]

Arrrr I hate test points. Did I put it back didn't I???? Started taking a photo when finished just for reference. Any one else have this mind fxuk when driving home after work. Wish boiler mrs put a rubber flap in them so it would self seal and the test plus was just for good measure! I half inched a few Baxi plugs from showroom at merchants as had a few where the lugs had snapped off and couldn't buy them off shelf. Kept them in fga bag , bad idea as that just confused matters!

Worry about it when you stop worrying. Worrying is good imho

I hate to admit it but I have been back a year later to find the bung out!!! went all sweaty and cold at the same time!

Luckily I've never forgotten to replace one (yet) but I've been on one job where the cap was completely missing.

Got sent back to a service i had done because transco had turned off the gas after the cust called them when co alarm was going mad. Also always worry about test point plugs being replaced so was racking my brain trying to remember replacing it, got to the job to find test plug good boiler good and it was a faulty alarm!

I get super paranoid about them, its just something you do without thinking about it so it never sticks in your memory. I have gone back to a few jobs and pretended I left a tool on top of the boiler so I can jump up and take a look, I always have a little screwdriver in my pocket so I can pull it out as if I found it haha. I haven't left a test point off that I know of yet, but if in any doubt I always go back to the job. When subbing for BG I went to a fair few where test points had been left off since the last service.

Have a note pad where write FGA, gas rate readings etc. Put a big tick across when confirm test point in.

It's burner pressure test points with me. I tend to keep the fga test point cap/plug in my hand all the while it's open.

Plus the Anton reminds me!

 

[Ermintrude]

Had one catch fire when boiler was on ..... That was amusing for custard stood behind me!

I don't do enough services or installs as yet, but, am definitely going to get a pad like Graham says. Scary stuff. Agree little flaps would be great
