Ok got sent to a job today.
Horizontal cylinder in the loft, leaking from immersion and going through the ceiling in to the room below.
Someone had already been and told me i need a 27inch standard immersion, picked one up this morning and went to the job. Drained the cylinder and removed old immersion.
New one would not go in at all, i thought i was doing something cack handed as i was screwing it in from the side of the cylinder and perhaps it was the weight of the long immersion causing me issues.
When i put the immersion in to the cylinder it's hitting the 'coil'. and cannot get it to even grip on the thread and screw it up. It's not actually a coil though, it's rows or columns along the top of the cylinder as it lays on it's side. The old immersion end will screw in fine but i can't check what shape it was as it's completely smashed to bits.
Do the Heatrae Sadia immersions have a different thread to standard Immersions? Must do surely.
Anyone come across this problem before?
