Plume kit installation query?

[macka09]

Hi guys. I’m only qualified on natural gas but I believe I’ve been booked to do a plume kit on an lpg boiler. Am I right to say I’m not qualified to do so?

You would have to test once you have finished?

Test the boiler - FGA etc
Cant do this without the LPG ticket

No worries. Just asking as your post didn’t state either way.

Cheers guys. My thoughts were as I’m not lpg I’ll be unable to carry out the any flue gas analysis after.

If it is a natural gas boiler is it just a case of fga after? What other checks would need to be carried out please?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Checking is safe before and after install

So burner pressure/ inlet
Fga etc

I would check the whole thing over (especially if new to me), FGA, inlet pressure, air intake readings, check safety devices, seals, operation, you know a safety check. TT is also good, helps me sleep at night. Get the gas safe booklets (B&Q sell them) they are idiot proof and if you fill in all the blanks you will be belts and braces.

Also leaves a paper trail that you checked all these things and it was safe at the time of you checking it over.

That’s what I ended up with chaps. It was a Nat gas boiler which my boss serviced a couple of weeks ago. I still checkecked everything though.

What’s the reason why it needs a plumb ?

Nuisance?

Too close to window in the right?

 

[Harvest Fields]

Looks more than 300 to me?

600 to an adjacent window?

 

[Harvest Fields]

Ohh ok. What boiler is it?

 

[Scott_D]

Looks like a WB flue

Looks like a WB flue

Always thought it was 300mm. My bad.

 

[macka09]

No the reason was because it was within 600 diagonally to the window.
