    Is my gas fire local isolation on the Restrictor?

    Hello Plumbers. We had a gas fire fitted, one of those that looks like a log burner. I need to take it out to paint the wall behind. It has a restrictor valve under it but no isolating valve that I can see. Is the restrictor an isolator as well? Should there be a separate isolating valve? Is it...

    Gas fire with external gas pipe

    Hi all, My customer has a gas fire with an external gas pipe (runs across the front of the fire - see pic). He'd like a new gas fire. No chance of re-running the pipe through the chimney opening. Any ideas of a gas fire that would suit? I've looked at a few, but would like the gas connections...

    Hi, I have a Kohlangaz Gosford HE gas fire. It has recently been serviced but when it is set to it's lowest heat output setting using the Remote control the heat output now seems excessive compared to that which we have become used to since it was installed in 2017. I contacted the firm who...

    URGENT Grant Combi 70 MK2 won't fire

    I've fitted a completely new burner to a Grant Combi 70 and the motor will not run (so consequently the burner won't fire) despite there being live 230v power to the control box. I have read the wiring diagrams and even spoken to Grant themselves but I cannot get to the bottom of the problem so...

    Oil feed pipe fire valve(s)

    Hy all, Do oftec regs allow passing of the oil feed through the foundation wall under floor space if the feed pipe is installed in a fire proof steel tube? I wondered if it would help me overcome an installation problem perhaps with a fire valve at either end of the feed as it enters and exits...

    Gas fire not fixed to wall????

    Hi all, I'm puzzling over a gas fire Valor Homeflame. (I've fixed/serviced quite a few gas fires over the last five years, but am still learning). Every gas fire I've so far come across has been fixed securely to the closure plate/back wall, so it can't be accidentally pulled out forwards...

    Capping pipe to gas fire/purging.

    If capping a feed to a gas fire in 15mm do you tend to use compression or solderd caps. I know comp. Is OK if accessible. But I prefer solderd caps. But does purging become an issue with solderd caps?

    Fire valve external oil boiler

    Bit of help on the regulations please? An external oil boiler (metal case) sited outside the house but contained in a slightly larger wooden enclosure (foot bigger in all directions, ie not a shed). Would it be acceptable to place the fire valve inside the wooden enclosure?

    Gas fire vermiculite replacement

    I have an old gas fire which wasn't working well. I asked a plumber to do a CP12 test (£40 as an addition to the boiler test) and tell me what he thought was required. After doing this he said it needed servicing, which would be an additional £60, and then would probably be OK. I went ahead with...

    Any primatic cylinders suitable for a solid fuel fire?

    TLDR; Why are modern primatic cylinders unsuitable for use with an uncontrolled heat source? The scenario: I have a friend (really) that needs a new HW cylinder fitting. Currently there is a 40ish year old 36x18 primatic type cylinder in place (I assume that’s what it is as it is ‘self...

    Hi, There are a total of four beds in my gas fire, to which all the individual coals then get located. The front bed is clean broken into almost two equal halves, which unless unbuilding the beds, you wouldn't actually know it is broken. I don't know who made the fire (there's no makers badges...
