The ultimate Intergas virgin freebie boiler thread

[Ray Stafford]

CH4? ANz?

You here?

 

[anz]

Here

 

[Ray Stafford]

As an outsider how many moving parts in other boilers and apart from fan & water pump what are they? (please)

Divertor valve, air pressure switch..

 

[solutions]

So let's talk about Intergas for a moment.

Is the "only four moving parts" thing meaningful to you? If so, why?

Not really meaningful just marketing c@rp. 4 moving parts
Intergas:
*fan
*gasvalve
*pump
*flowswitch
Most other combi's:
Only have a diverter valve in addition to that.

My most regular repair on combis is exp vessels and prv's followed by fans on pre high efficiency boilers. Rarely gas valves, Or fans in modern boilers but then they have not been in service for 15+ years yet so I'm sure they will start going eventually.

 

[Ray Stafford]

Anz, Hammers, Riley, CH4, are you watching?

awaiting

Aye aye

Here

Good.

You are all still at risk.

Solutions, chalked, you are both safe for tonight. Congratulations. 🙂

 

[hammers4spanner]

Solutions n chalked pass the cash ?

 

[Riley]

Twitchy bum time

 

[Ray Stafford]

Solutions n chalked pass the cash ?

Phew! Back to your cynical old normal self

 

[solutions]

I serviced an intergas about a week ago and I am not swayed yet. I just don't like aluminium heat exchangers.
Or swathes of plastic on boiler cases. But the lack of a diverted valve is a benefit and more so the large bore copper Heat exchanger path ways.
Simple to clean once you get the 15 or so burner door nuts off.

Can`t see why else the storekeeper should mention who handles his personal banking in that other thread myself. lol

 

[Ch4 plumbing]

Lack of a diverter always a benefit pesky darn things

Can I just mention that Famous Grouse is a poor substitute for JD? really poor.

 

[hammers4spanner]

jamesons whiskey always a nice tipple

Could be a good time for a meal break Ray.

I finished my lasagne in the time it took this lot to dis my choice of hostelry!

Is that an ... Offer...? hammers..?

 

[rpm]

Comfort break then?

 

[lame plumber]

not that many bolts to whip off the hex cover, even better only 2 screws to remove the front access cover. Doddle to get bits on and off when needed, just need a bit of care when installing them not to loosen pump nuts etc. In my experience they are easy to install, no stress as you can set up initially as a water heater, then finish your pipework for rads in slow time. easy to set up the heating side for most efficient running, fans and pcbs are a bit pricy if you have to pay for them, but intergas have refunded me for any parts i supplied under warranty to date. Just need to be firm with them, then stroppy, then bloody minded and kick up a fuss 🙂

 

[Ray Stafford]

Comfort break then?

Or perhaps just get involved in a non sequitur conversation with you, in order to frustrate the four nervous ones?

 

[hammers4spanner]

Is that an ... Offer...? hammers..?

If it helps yes ,if it don't then no lol

 

[rpm]

Have you spoken to Mrs S & Miss S tonight?

 

[Ray Stafford]

Hold the front page! Also safe for tonight is....

Anz. You live to fight another day Anz.

Just Riley, CH4 and hammers left to sweat.

 

[Riley]

Don't encourage him RPM :wink:

 

[Ray Stafford]

Have you spoken to Mrs S & Miss S tonight?

I have had a nice chat with Mrs S thanks rpm. And she is in good health, thank you for asking. Miss S is a bit too grown up now to talk to dad on a daily basis, but I work on the principle, that no news is good news.

I trust your family are all in the pink?

 

[Riley]

D scream if it weren't so funny

As far as I know and thank you for asking sir but I work on the same lines as your good self as in no news is very good news.
Guess I`d better go now and leave you to whatever it was you doing before I get hung. lol

 

[Ray Stafford]

Don't rush dear boy. Amuse us with your latest tales of poo-munching! 🙂

 

[rpm]

Well as you ask, I did get accused of breaking a customer toilet pan today which did confuse me until I spoke to the customer and found out she complained because I broke the silicone seal between the pan and the floor and the actual pan is still as I left it, that is in one piece!
Sometimes I think they have nothing else to do except complain.

 

[Ray Stafford]

Sometimes I think they have nothing else to do except complain.

An interesting philosophical point? Shall we dwell upon it for a page or two ? Or shall we tell CH4 that he is safe, and tonight's battle is all down to Riley and Hammers?

 

[Riley]

Argh

 

[hammers4spanner]

oh dear

 

[rpm]

[Ray Stafford]

Riley?

 

[Ray Stafford]

Hammers?

 

[Ray Stafford]

It's head to head...

 

[rpm]

He`s dead so give the slot to hammers

 

[Riley]

Not dead decidedly on edge though

 

[hammers4spanner]

[Riley]

[Gray0689]

I treated it with the derision it deserved you xenophobic git....

Be we still didn't get the fleece we so deserve lo

 

[Ray Stafford]

Be we still didn't get the fleece we so deserve lo

Immaculate timing dear boy. I was struggling to think of a new diversion to delay the announcement, and then you pop up with your chippy colonialness and talk of fleeces..🙂

Shall we debate the topic for a while?

 

[REDSAW]

lol got my bird asking every couple mins you out ? in? out? in?

[Ray Stafford]

[rpm]

Since AP declined I can offer you an old Saniflo fleece mate.

 

[anz]

Happy days, just popped off to blow my strawberry...damn hay fever is hammering me today!

 

[Riley]

Just found all the foo fighters remaining gigs in the UK are cancelled. Bang goes my proposal

Yes we shall my Williams one is on its last legs I'm afraid and as a very poor plumber it's either a cold winter or a fleecy happy bunny lol

 

[Ray Stafford]

Hammers. Riley.

One of you still has reason to wake up tomorrow, blessing the newly minted day, enjoying the dawn and listening to the birds singing melodically in the morn's early light.

The other will drag themselves reluctantly from their festering pit, cursing the glaring, pitiless sun that augurs another pointless day of their meaningless stagger though a pathetic excuse for existence.

I tell you, it's a big responsibility. Making this choice. It really is tough.

 

[anz]

Happy days, just popped off to blow my strawberry...damn hay fever is hammering me today!

Past couple of days have been horrible for me... Still at least not as bad as last year, couldn't open my eyes or anything then.

 

[Ray Stafford]

I had better get a drink to help me deliver the bad news. Back in a moment.

 

[rpm]

Just found all the foo fighters remaining gigs in the UK are cancelled. Bang goes my proposal

Don`t think that will influence Mr S mate. Nice try though.

I wake up everyday all chirpy full of the joys of life simply because i shall spend the first 9 hours everyday plumbing .

 

[Riley]

Wasn't meant to be it was just why I was in and out. :wink:

 

[Rickster123]

That's a sign from god. Run for your life man!

 

[lame plumber]

Didn`t realise you wanted it for winter mate, my old fleece has been washed that often it`s virtually see though!

 

[lame plumber]

[Gray0689]

So is my Williams one lol

 

[Riley]

You may be right Adam. It's a shame I had back stage passes that was all

 

[Riley]

Seems to doesn't it

 

[Ray Stafford]

Right, that's better

Still not a huge fan of grouse though.

 

[Dotty]

Yes we shall my Williams one is on its last legs I'm afraid and as a very poor plumber it's either a cold winter or a fleecy happy bunny lol

You got a Williams fleece? I only got an at....

 

[Gray0689]

You got a Williams fleece? I only got an at....

Oops
but it cost me 28mmx19mm armaflex didn't it Mr Stafford lol

 

[Ch4 plumbing]

So is my Williams one lol

I've got 4 fleeces your welcome go have, all used and all shrunk!! Poxy things are too short and really look like boob tubes when worn!

 

[Ray Stafford]

Let's reflect a moment.

If we put hammers through to tomorrow, we risk destroying the forum's most reliable grumpy geezer. (Apart from stevetheplumber, obviously)

But if we put Riley through after last nights "maiden aunt" farrago, we are rewarding bad behaviour.

It's a dilemma, it really is..

 

[rpm]

You got a Williams fleece? I only got an at....

Evening croppie how`s Mrs Crops tonight, have a good dinner together did we?

 

[Ch4 plumbing]

Sod the chit chat, anyone watching secret smile?? Geezer is a right Herbert.

 

[Ray Stafford]

Even croppie how`s Mrs Crops tonight, have a good dinner together did we?

Yes, let's while away a moment discussing the Cropp family dining experience...

 

[Gray0689]

I've got 4 fleeces your welcome go have, all used and all shrunk!! Poxy things are too short and really look like boob tubes when worn!

Show my manly gut off then lol

 

[Ray Stafford]

Ok, here we go...

 

[hammers4spanner]

grumpygeezer quite like that

any chance of a name change lol

 

[Riley]

Freudian slip

 

[Ray Stafford]

Hammers? You're still in.

Riley? Sorry mate, you're toast. Better luck next week.

 

[Riley]

Well done all good luck.

 

[hammers4spanner]

bullseye !!!

[Riley]

My heads fried ray. Next question on Sunday??

 

[Ray Stafford]

My heads fried ray. Next question on Sunday??

Some time over the weekend. Not necessarily Sunday.

 

[Riley]

Ok mate may lie down till then

 

[solutions]

Happy days, just popped off to blow my strawberry...damn hay fever is hammering me today!

Yep pollen count has got to be through the roof.
Was chasing a screwed today for a new cooker gas line and had to stop and wash my face as the snot was streaming out of me.

Past couple of days have been horrible for me... Still at least not as bad as last year, couldn't open my eyes or anything then.

 

[solutions]

Bad luck Riley.
At least you get to watch the remainder a squirm tomorrow.
Best of luck to the remaining competition in the competition.

 

[Ray Stafford]

So who is left?

Anz
Chalked
ch4
Hammers
Solutions

I wonder who will survive tomorrow's brutal Darwinian selection? Will the fittest survive? Are any of them even remotely fit? And if so, fit for what?

Tune in to tomorrow's exciting instalment of "greedy 4 freebie" - an everyday tale of plumbing folk...

 

[Riley]

Where will tomorrow's exciting instalment come from

 

[smtplumbing]

This is going to be a long month

 

[IDCHAPPY]

Like big brother this :lol:

 

[hammers4spanner]

more like rays plumbing nightmares

 

[Ray Stafford]

Where will tomorrow's exciting instalment come from

Home. Where I have just arrived to find a poorly Mrs S, in need of some TLC.

So tonights installment might be abbreviated.

Back later...

 

[Gray0689]

Then you should make it very quick or leave it to another day
and look after the boss
We will forgive you for that mate
Hope mrs Stafford feeling better soon

 

[Riley]

Anyway, hate all the remaining competitors none of them deserve it......













Only kidding good luck lads
