Im fiiting my first worcester greenstar junior today

[Super Mario]

I heard they are a pain in the arse is there anything i should look out for? It comes with a jig that goes on the wall first.

 

[Dotty]

Watch the washers when you mount the boiler on the jig.

 

[Super Mario]

once the jig is on the wall what do i have to do before fitting the boiler? just silicone grease the prv and vessel connections?

 

[Ch4 plumbing]

I fit a few Worcester boilers and think they are easy enough, watch your hands on the casing it's blooming sharp!

 

[Ch4 plumbing]

Use a bit of paste on the fibre washers so they don't fall off when you lift the boiler on.
If you take the prv connection off of the jig to screw it to the wall make sure you put it back! I've forgotten when rushing and it means removing the boiler again to refit. And always give it a push up when you have fitted the boiler (PRV)

you mean push up the white plastic bit on the prv right?

 

[Mike Jackson]

Make sure that the customer has no record of your phone number so you never have to go back and repair it.

Yes, sometimes people forget and when the PRV operates it lashes out everywhere.

 

[Super Mario]

great no pipe tails, nice user friendly boiler

 

[Super Mario]

next time theres a thread about vailaint vs worcester the answer should be the difference between a 5pm finish or a late one!

 

[AWheating]

These are easy to install, better than most, especially now the jigs a lot stronger.

Haha. You can solder right 😉

just makesure the system is clean.
If you're going to look after the boiler, you dont want to be changing the prv!

Easiest way to change it!

Remember after fitting a Worcestor,wash your hands and go to church.........You will be covered in DEVILS *****

Bless you my son,for you have seen the light

 

[buckley plumb]

the first one I fitted was the jr with the plastic jig and I stupidly pre piped it - heck did I struggle to get the boiler on it . it flexed like a jelly

 

[beesley121]

Considering they cost what they do compared to other boilers, I'm far from impressed by installation process. Not having pipe tails is just really annoying

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

Worcester are pants ,dont like them ,never have,told you all they were over hyped tat years ago stuck with baxi,s duotec he/hea,easy life no stress,parts easy to change if they need replacing

 

[Killy Bing]

Will you fit another Mario? Haha

fitted quite a few 105s but shyed away from baxi when the duo tec come out .past few years fitted mainly glowworms as landlord got good price on them they are easy to fit but a pig to fault find and fix and parts are expensive . since mid last year convinced landlord to see if he can get baxis at cost and he has so now fitting them - parts cheap and lots of space inside for hands saying that not had many problems

 

[Super Mario]

Will you fit another Mario? Haha

They are horrible mate not impressed at all i dono how they got such a big name maybe because its bosch? doesnt come close to a viessman now that is a good boiler what you think??

 

[sheff paul]

it pains me to say but Worcestor do have some of the best after sales service,just hope Vaillant would buy them out and put the same input in as they are doing with Gloworm

 

[Nostrum]

The compact range is even worse.

 

[woodytheplumber]

could have been worse could have been a ferroli
