Attended a job where customer reported HW OK but no CH. Found BBU to be working fine on gravity HW pumped CH.

'Its in the boxing at the side of the chimney' was the answer to where's your pump.

Builders foam, why aren't all pumps quietened in this manner?

Pump replaced with new. Don't tell anyone but I took the short-cut of NOT firing a can of foam into the replaced boxing.

probably caused the pump to overheat and fail,stupid people should be put down

I think you're being generous with the compliment halfwit.

It used to be a common thing to go to a sheet metal factory to get them to fabricate parts for flue systems, I.e balanced flue extensions or when fancy fireplaces were fitted to fire back boiler units.

Remember having to make a rectangle to round adapter for a gas fire as part of our C&G
But then in those days we used to carry 2p for the phone & put small boys up the chimney to clean them!!

 

[Dannypipe]

What's a 2p? 🙂

 

[Dotty]

Take a butcher's at this mess. Something somewhere was leaking.



"My dad did the plumbing." The young lady said. "He's quite proud of it!"

I had to go sit in the van till I stopped giggling.

 

[PlumbBobBob]

[galaxy_plumbing]

Oh boy 😀 😀 well, did you fix it? 😀

I found the leak yeah. He had plastic running right to the boiler. Stripped it back a metre and put copper in. Sent these pics to me Guv'nor asking if he wanted me to strip that birds nest back and redo it. He just said na, no time. Far as I know it's still like it.

 

[stevetheplumber]

What's a 2p? 🙂

[Dotty]

What's a 2p? 🙂

1/180th of a pint.........

 

[tamz]

[Dotty]

I was averaging out Tom, next time I'm in Edinburgh though I'll give you a shout and you can prove to me how cheap a pint of heavy is.

Oh dear!

 

[stevetheplumber]

what size is that compression coupling ?

 

[Dotty]

what size is that compression coupling ?

Looks like 54mm to me. AO Smith wouldn't stand over that!

 

[stevetheplumber]

didnt know they did compression that big id haveused a flange or union

 

[Dotty]

About 80 quids worth there mate! Can get compression up to 67mm but that's a complicated beast!

 

[mike-c]

Is the main problem in the photo not the fact that it looks like the safety valve has no discharge pipe leading from it?
