There seems to be a lack of pipes there bod :) As well as the flexi's and 15mm gas, where's the prv pipe?
 
Speaking of 'where's the prv?' look at this I found the other day on a Worcester Greenstar R25HE. Boiler was about 7 years old. No pipework for the prv could be seen anywhere and someone thought the best thing to stop it dripping is a black iron plug.

I AR'd the boiler and drained some water off as it had gone up to 3 bar.

I take it there was no 2ry (external) PRV on the system? Shocking if not!
 
I couldn't find one. No signs of anything externally, but the prv should not be left like that anyway, it should be returned back in to the pipework.
 
found last friday, i think once there was a prv pipe before but no one knows what happened to it? DSC_0115c.JPG

The other thing is both pipes coming 15 mm to 22 mm service valve and again reduce to 15 mm. Is it because they were lazy to go merchants to buy 15 mm service valve?
