    Underfloor Heating Flow Meters

    No, only the flow meters for loops calling for heat should move, check the actuators are screwed down properly. Does sound like this wouldnt have been filled properly aswell thiugh if your having to do this.

    Air admittance valve black

    If its A1 designated it can be fitted bellow the flood level aswell, if you are going to run it up past the guttering you may aswell vent the stack instead, if its within 3m of an opening vent 900mm above it.

    2 port valve or programmer?

    Call for heat then test the brown on the 2port, if theres 240 there but the sychron motor doesnt turn its that, if theres no 240 there then work back through the cylinder stat, then the HW On out the programmer.

    Gas Training...now or never!

    Thanks Stanios, I see where your coming from completely. I wouldn't expect to become GSR and suddenly be able to diagnose every boiler that breakdowns. My background has always been installs, not done much breakdown work with GSR's. The main reason I want to become GSR would be for installs...

    2 port valve or programmer?

    By the sounds of it the synchron motors not spinning at all, so sounds like its either that, programmer or cyl stat

    Absolute mystery

    Is it a combi? Or do you have a vented cylinder aswell, could be a split coil if you do. It wont narrow it down to be the flow just because you open the flow iso underneath and that drops, its still connected to the return so its still testing that at the same time.

    2 port valve or programmer?

    Could still be the programmer, needs testing first. More than likely is the 2 port though.

    Pipe speccing

    Pointless running the DHW on a 25kw combi in anything bigger than 15mm, you will still get only get 10LPM whether its run in 15mm or 54mm, would just give you a bigger dead leg volume of cold to pull through before the hot arrives at the outlet.
