    Cold central heating pipework

    I doubt the pipework would get hot due to the lack of ‘flow’ fit a bi-flow trv as these can be plumbed on either flow or return

    Flue for old atmospheric boiler

    Hopefully not high jacking the thread too much but seems a bit backwards in my opinion. Gas safe really didn’t relay the information too well? Either way it’s a learning curve and happy to be corrected. Thanks

    Flue for old atmospheric boiler

    During my recent re-assessments it was told to me that ncs wasn’t a ‘thing’ anymore however during a recent convo with another gsr engineer it appears it is. Just isn’t viable on a form as such so I’m wrong in this instance; apologises!

    Flue for old atmospheric boiler

    Should definitely be in solid flue. Also the hole in the liner where they take analyser readings etc shouldn’t be there potential Products of combustion (POC) entering the room

    Cylinder stabbings...

    Evening all.. Kinda a gripe conjoined with a question but does anyone know why cylinder stabbings i.e cold feed, hws return, flow and return are rarely square on a cylinder? Doesn’t seem to matter what brand I’ve come across they’re always off-set? More an annoyance than anything :mad:

    What tools for apprentice plumber?

    As above largely depends what sort of work you’ll be doing... Start with the smaller items you’ll use often; decent set of spanner’s/grips/screwdrivers, pipe slices, level and tape. All relatively inexpensive but indispensable

    Definitely +1 for loctite. The newer shaped containers with finger imprints are a god send.

    Rothenberger RP50 problems

    admittedly i dont own the rp50 but i too have issues with the rp30 version. Mine seemingly seized? although a bit of brute force and the a good old kick did the trick. Must admit im not overly impressed with the quality for the money?

    Gas Tickets

    Hi folks, What tickets y'all have? from reading the forums it seems a great few of you are domestic qualified? (must never assume!) Just curious as to what you all have? i.e just core.boilers and fga or do you have the others i.e cookers and fires etc etc? I'm both domestic and commercial...
