Ideal Isar dangerous ?

[Kev the gas]

I removed an Ideal Isar this morning, there was a stand off bracket installed. This is what I found when the boiler was removed from the frame.

there were no sighs of distress inside the boiler that I could see, any ideas is it normal?

If the boiler itself is fine then don't worry! Thats just a bit of heat marks and corrosion.

 

[cdodds2004]

was there any signs on the back of the boiler its self?

 

[Kev the gas]

No signs of distress on back of boiler either

Fills you with confidence though.....

Perhaps it wasnt the first one on that bracket.

That would be my guess as the marks look like the ones I have seen when the hex has melted itself and exposed the outer case to the burner.

That thought had come to mind, rental property so no real history. It is on a new estate which is full of them.
I now refuse to work on them for new customers.

 

[Ollieg]

Your right. That didnt even cross my mind.

Could of had a few on there.:smile5:

Anyone noticed the cooker hood ducting ? Was 60mm away from the flue terminal

Not a slight weep from the expansion vessel?

 

[Kev the gas]

Good call, the expansion vessel was full of water but no signs of leakage
