The Kane 455 does all the bits you need for commercial FGA etc and doubles up as a digital manometer of course. I need to get an ambient air CO2 analyser and I think I'm good to go for servicing. Will get the purging kit etc as and when jobs come up.

just be careful on your max ppm 455 is only rated to i think 1000ppm and some commercial boilers can spike that high when starting so wait a couple of mins before popping your probe in

but wont do your strength tests on new pipework, as doesnt it have a 50mbar limit

if it does have a look at the anton 140

and you can rent purging kit easily and cheap think its around the 100 for a weeks hire
 
Yeah the instructor said that too. To be fair they are about £1k to buy aren't they? Don't think I can justify that. He's proper Northern to be fair and has built his own purging kit from a U6 meter with steel pipe on the inlets and outlets and the flare off screwed into the pipe lol. It all goes on a tripod and works a treat.

He's quite a funny bloke.

I will probably buy a water gauge for strength testing to start with, need to make some cash before I buy anything more than the basics now!

yes think ive seen them around 1100 and same as me then fyi speaker tripod works very well 🙂

and you will be fine unless your installing new pipework (but then add the cost onto the job)
