Flavel Regent lfe

[Robert Tyrrell]

Apart from not being able to complete my service today because of some flat batteries (Another thread). I also came across a problem that I haven't experienced yet and wondered if any of your enormous brains might be holding the required knowledge to enlighten me 🙂

Where do you take the fga reading from on the above named fire?
The MI tells you where to check for spillage but not take an fga reading, and there's a glass screen half way up the front grill preventing you from getting the sampling tube near the flame.

I also couldn't read the serial number on the data plate - its disappeared over time. The fire appears to work fine but obviously I need to do the fga reading to ratify this.

personally, if you follow the MFIs and it doesnt mention using an fga I dont bother, I fall back on the spillage test, burner pressue and gas rate, these came out long before fga,'s were commonplace. but heres the manual for your reading tonight http://www.flavelfires.co.uk/media/...trol_installation_user_manual_b-120510-05.pdf

Cheers for the manual, I've downloaded it for my digital collection. She did have the original manual though.
Burner pressure and gas rate are all fine, and it passed the spillage test. I just wasn't sure about the fga requirements - I thought that you had to perform fga on all fluid appliances.

 

[lame plumber]

my understanding is, only if the manual tells you to, manufacturers instructions over rule all else, no mention no need 🙂

I think its only flueless fires

YOU DONT FGA A GAS FIRE, if you try putting it in a Flavel Regent lfe,you will either melt the handle,burn your hand or kill the 02 cells,thats why BFM dont mention it in the instructions

so my follow the manual is perfectly correct then 🙂🙂

 

[c.gas]

I thought it was only flueless gas fires that you done fga, don't think I've ever done any other fire before

yes,no fga on a normal CF or BF gas fire

spot on,only fga on a flueless

 

[lame plumber]

coz if you read a flueless manual, it tells you to carry out an fga test, but I knew that as well 🙂 dont know much, but sometimes I surprise myself 🙂

If it was on old flueless gas fire I assume it may not mention fga (not apeaking from experience on this one, so may be wrong) but I would still do fga and refer to BS

 

[c.gas]

Sorry *speaking* not apeaking

When I did my 're-training' they told me that EVERY flued appliance should have an fga used on it. That's why I asked. I usually go by the MI but this is the first fire I've done where there's no mention of it, probably owing to age though (fire not mine)

How would you fga a room sealed standard efficiency (with no fga sample point) on the 4th floor of a block of flats?
It's always engineering judgement and best endeavours
You DO NOT fga lfe fires unless mi's say so and have never came across one that does yet.

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

They misled you,seriously with a coalbed it could really damage your fga
