Can you fit any pressure reducing valve/ multiblock on unvented.

[Ben-gee]

Isn’t a 3bar RWC pressure reducing valve just a stock item? Likewise the other bits.

But it is still the one that the manufacturer has had produced specifically

No manu does thay Wayne. ALL use off the shelf components. Its simply too expensive otherwise

Maybe. But the ones I fit come with the cylinder which means manufacturer approved in my eyes mate.

Your job, your choice - always.

The manufacturers have to honour the guarantee’s but if the customer hasnt got evidence of services they have their get out clause then .

Unvented associated parts change every few years an engineer would not know if the parts fitted were correct as to when they were actually fitted when new , take the Tribune for example I have seen them with it least 5 inlet control sets over the last 15 years .

Think I’m being miss understood mate. I’m not saying that they do not change. But when parts are needed I always take a pic of the data badge and send to my suppliers for the recommended part.

On the subject(ish) wouldn’t it be a good idea to have a scheme a bit like MOT where a G3 registered guy/gal could go online to log annual services - this would aid in safety and warranty issues.

I don’t like that idea

The cylinder in question was a grant duowave cylinder with a megaflo multibloc no paperwork and they have literally just bought the house. So not really worried about a warranty as chances are it's not registered etc.

My theory was as long as it's the same spec as manufacturers spec then no problem.

I can’t say I’ve really thought it through, more of a sudden thought whilst watching the golf.

Have you contacted the manufacturer yourself?

No. As long as it is to the same spec then what is the problem?

Unless you have the data sheet for the original and the new one, I guess we will never know.

Google grant duowave manual and it comes up with all the specs etc. Google caleffi 3/6 bar multibloc.

Haven’t got time. To busy going through the 655 messages I have missed on here. If it says it’s the same then the call is yours.

I wasnt saying for you to google it now. Just saying that if you google things you can get the info direct from the manufacturers.

Never knew that mate, cheers for the info. But to be honest, that would have been what I did first, before coming on here. I could have saved myself some time.

You really have one on you tonight.

I did google it and made sure that I could get the exact same specification valve. I then came on here to ask other peoples opinions. I honestly thought that's what this forum was about. Maybe I should just know everything, oh then I wouldnt be on here would I? I would be on facebook swinging my foot long around shouting look at me I'm perfect whilst talking down to people I think are not up to my standard.

You could argue the same for boilers
