    Boiler Breakdown Sticky

    Ideal logic combi sump. Don't waste your time taking the heat ex out. Rip the old sump off, then use a 42min push pit 90degree elbow on the plate heat ex working it from left to right. Will clip the sump into place.

    2 zone CH but 1 zone heats whole house

    Check out the pic, shows valve closed and the one Stat calling with its valve open. This to me rules out Wiring .

    2 zone CH but 1 zone heats whole house

    Do not pay for this work. I very very doubt they are either broken or fitted incorrectly. If they are fitting incorrectly that can only mean upside-down, a nice clear pic of both sides of both brass housings will show this .AND having water going thru them in the wrong direction is very...

    2 zone CH but 1 zone heats whole house

    Looks from the picture the upstairs valve is closed when downstairs is calling. I'm betting the two zones are linked, installation fault. (I didn't read posters post about the plumber being back.....honest)

    Yes, good point about compression

    Air pressure testing equipment

    But that would be the same as testing at 7 bar with water wouldn't it? Still dangerous

    Yes, I'd like to know too, probably obvious but I can think why it would be dangerous .

    Looking for a gas safe mentor

    Sounds about right, we are businesses, we are business men just like the guys that wear suits, but as a general rule we love a good laugh. It's a great trade, good luck and enjoy it. None of us ever stop learning.

    2 zone CH but 1 zone heats whole house

    Is it a combi boiler or do you have a big hot water tank. If it's not a combi, and the upstairs valve is not open you my have an installation problem. One, the bypass may be linking the two different zones. Or two, you may have reverse circulation, this is where the hot water return pipe...

    Looking for a gas safe mentor

    10 months!!! Lot longer than 8 weeks, and then seems to think he is "quite good with gas". I can't see these training centres turning many engineers in reality, I suspect the original posted will be paying his mentor to be nothing more than a cab mut (labour).

    Without full support you're asking for either a nervous breakdown or a manslaughter charge.

    Looking for a gas safe mentor

    Just out of interest, how much does someone like Mohamid pay for an 8 week course? And what sort of basic knowledge will someone have after 8 weeks? My course was 7 months at BG to become qualified and none of us thought 7 months was long enough. Without on going support for 2 to 3 years youve...

    Question about a multimeter

    Some years ago I used a multimeter when working for British Gas, which apparently approximately 700 people apply for each engineering job advertised, no doubt most if not all the muppets who replied to my last post about a meter also appiled but didn't make the grade. Any way, this meter was...

    Need a Multimeter

    Evening. I'm looking for a new multi meter, the only feature it has to have is what I think is called range finding. What I don't want it to do is trip the MCB when I test for volts but its set on ohms. Not looking for anything more than that, what do you suggest? Thanks
