Oh great now the customers are going to be asking for the boilers without pipes
I already have, "there's no ugly pipes in the brochure" I kid you not.

Coil at base heats store coil at top delivers hot . Headder is for the store. Not an amazing performer.
Initially looks like an open vent cyl with two DHW drawoffs.
It's not big enough for house and boiler struggles

one thing ive been amazed at since i started doing social housing is the state of the electrics to boilers and controls wires taped together and rammed up the back of boilers y plans wired inside a single plaster board back box and the clock on the front mostly hanging out the wall due to the weight and movement of using the clock, boilers wired with cable straight out of the plasterb
when i started noting them on cp12's i was told its nothing to do with gas safety

Ah, memories! Had two floor standing unit heaters in a factory unit once, place had been empty for some years and new occupiers had got units running but were complaining about smells. Didn't know when they'd last been serviced either (reckon they'd just gone in and switched them on). Turns out chimney terminal had gone from one and heat exchanger had rotted out so fumes were going straight back into the unit. Shut it off and cleaned up the other one and sorted it out but it was on borrowed time!

I don't think my wife would agree to that. Especially after the Froday night Genius session. 😀

With all the room available why put it over the lid that I need to remove? Not to mention using an olive compression fitting on white waste overflow pipe.
He used brass 22mm compression fitting on 21.5mm plastic which goes up in to loft and is full of water, then added the drain off right next door to the fused spur.

Until I got there, this was being used to make the tea in a very upmarket designer clothes shop! Perhaps not bad workmanship as such, but is a lesson to leave the lid on and roof door shut! The pigeons seemed to be having a field day.

The dangerous thing about it is he follows me round asking questions "learning" for the future!
ill admit, people like this do worry me!
My other halves uncle is like that. Always telling him not to touch his boiler but he just can't comprehend the harm. I've told him now if he keeps "fiddling" I will not fix it
