Hopefully not, there's spacers on the clips and they're spaced apart. Got me worried now 😉

Nice neat job.
If you've used the wee Talon spacers, you'll get foam insulation around the pipework without too many problems. Use tie wraps to bind it nice and tight.
 
Have to say mate your work is the absolute dogs ********. Teach me please lol

plumbersmate. this ain't rocket science,
first you need teaching, then a g3 cert,
and then do it how you want to see it in your own house,
if your not happy take it out and start again.
forget about the money,a good job is what it is all about.
a nice tidy job, a safe install, and a happy customer,life's sweet.

I only started using them about a year ago, make jobs where you have to lag so much easier.

They also save bending crossovers if you use 2 spacers on a clip as the pipe will then pass right over the other one without touching it.
 
Yea haha it's crossed my mind but I might end up going a bit crazy! Like using 6 stacked up to pass over the pass overs 🙂

well done you are almost good as me 🙂pmsl
You have had lots of time to pull all this bends and how is the insulation going in !?
well done good job
 
I'm a pro, everything mentioned has been catered for. Even the immersion. I don't think the pictures are doing the spacing justice. 😉
 
Nice work pal.................. that coil will be a biatch to bleed even on a sealed system, due megaflos coil in coil construction, unless i have missed the AV?

Flue must be close to soffit?
 
half a mornings worth of work there plenty space to work in unlike the one i done today ,
agree with vern cant see aav nor low level doc??

Was just going to put vent on top of boiler, do megaflow specify otherwise?
flue easily clears gutter/ soffit. The drawing is a rough outline.

We'll see for sure tomorrow, it's changeover day.
 
fair play to you for putting your work on here knowing what this mob is like !!!

Did you wipe your joints off or are they all green today?

Lovely install! Is that an open end left on a gas pipe?!....

And I'd guess at a Worcester ri boiler!

It is but a future gas pipe, open both ends, the clients using the original boiler which is being moved from one end of the house to the other, so all the pipes are in place for the changeover.

yep should have one on coil flow pal, all covered in MI's
 
On second thoughts, he's taken an old Diplomat out of a demolition job, and now he's going to wall hang the beast, and get another 40 years out of it. 🙂

Apart from the wall-hanging part, thats probably not as silly as it sounds. 🙂
 
Nice job ,, Can't see the balance valve on the cylinder return , !!!

Under Part L balance valves shouldn't be fitted to the hot water primaries. The balancing valve is to ensure that there is capacity to run the heating and hot water at the same time. Modern control systems allow the water heating to be timed earlier than the heating which enables a quicker more efficient heat up time with no detrimental effect on the heating.

i reckon it's an Apollo Fanfare being fitted.

"it is reccommended that an air bleed point or automatic air vent is incorporated in the primary return pipework close to the megaflow eco unit"

surley my vent near the boiler should suffice? What would everyone else do?
 
Vent on flow and return next to unvented cylinder and vent on flow to vented cylinder !
Vent I use is manual not automatic on sealed systems !
vent on open vent I use are automatic

what i would do is loose no sleep what so ever over an air vent

did a worcester training course yesterday and there was a young lad there with his gaffer. I started ripping an install someone had done as boiler was on the **** and they had used yorkshire fittings as end feed leaving plenty of snots (massive pet peeve) Turns out it was installed by the young lad 😛

Aw come on, it has it's place. Not very often I agree.
it won't be seen when finished because the cylinders going in a cupboard and they'll be around the back.
 
See it leaking already :angel_smile: Importantly did you remember the drain of on cold and air vent Vern told you off for last time?

Looks pretty damm tidy though
