Help identifying a boiler ??

[ManchesterGas]

Hi all, went to recommission a heating system yesterday and found a faulty fan on the boiler so couldn't get it up and running.

They were all for a new boiler but now want a price on the replacement fan 🙁 and I didn't make a note of what boiler it is...Durrr...

Fanned flue heat only boiler, with side and rear flue outlets, 2 screws on bottom of combustion casing and that lifts off, it's a cast hex and not
a pos pressure case, aps is in the top right corner. On/off switch bottom right and temp knob like a solo pf2, gas valve was at the back and bottom centre.

Anyone?

Cheers!

Time to go back as you may want the GC no. to order the fan.

 

[ManchesterGas]

I may not, don't really want the 2 hour round trip unless I have to.

That's got disaster written all over it!

Phone them and ask them to look for the GC number so you can order the part

The bottom control cover was missing and no identifying marks on the outside of the boiler, obviously not going to ask them to strip boiler down to find a GC no as there wasn't one visible from the outside..


Looks like I'm going back, I thought with all the experience on here that someone may have a clue. can't be that many fanned flue, cast iron boilers that have a side exit flue about!

Go as far as I have to, it's about 45 mins away but there and back and messing about, soon adds up as we all know!

Doh you said not pos pressure

I thought the original Classics had a different fan to the later/last models.

A different connection through the boiler casing, to connect to the fan ??

Be careful before you order a fan you cant return.

 

[ManchesterGas]

I can return it, I'm on good terms with my supplier 😉

Correct Kevin......easy way to I.d which one it is as follows, the electric spades on same side, or spades on opposite sides, 100% fool proof you don't need serial number using this method, one is around £30 more than other too, even though they are both made by Sifan!

 

[arran197]

Ye, I was going to say the Classics have different fans, so need to make sure you get the right one.

Like vern said its to do with the position of the spade connectors. I got caught out before when ordering a fan.
