Tbh mate you have done very well you had any help ?


Thanks, not had any hands on help other than the kind advice on here.

Iv done a tonne of boiler swaps, my normal day to day is service and repair so I get to see good and bad installs of other people.

its been a nice change doing this.

Only 3 years in and you are producing work like that! Very nice. Fair play to you for doing such a nice job and also for asking advice where needed.

You, and whoever taught you should be proud.

and why did you tape the joints? and are you using plume mag kits?

Yes two plume management kits, Im just in the habit of doing it for some reason, I have screwed them aswell but I just like the extra assurance that its held with tape aswell!

Of course it shouldnt go anywhere with the bracket but I can imagine things being hung from it..
 
and own up who cored the holes first and didnt double check 😀

also hope you got short probes on the fga

The problem with the first core on the right was that the customer had fitted a bracket to support the lintel? But didnt tell me so i hit it bang on... Had to move over a couple of inches.

The second flue on the right was my cock up haha..

if you have screwed it and has brackets , it wont go any where mate , my opinion just makes the installation look meh as the kids would say (but dont try and remove it will make it worse) something for future tho
