One For The Gas Guys Re Sealing Open Vented Boiler.

[SimonG]

Converting an old one piper system into a two pipe. Also going unvented for the hot water.

Just trying to find out if I can seal the following boiler, being put off as it says open vent on the front cover.

It's a Vitodens 100 W WB1B 26 kw Regular Boiler Open Vented.

Cheers.

Wb1b is a combi pal , do you mean a 100w compact ?

Yes you can seal a compact , I have done.

 

[SimonG]

Definitely not a combi.

On the front cover it just says.

Vitodens 100-W
WB1B
26 kw Regular Boiler
Open Vent.

Just checked the photo I took of the label.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Yes you can, just need to make sure you fit all the kit

 

[townfanjon]

Cant understand why a combi and a O V have the same model no, strange , anyway as said , you can seal them . They dont need a pump over run but they come with a lead if you can get near the pump .

 

[SimonG]

Cheers for that.

I'll be back over to the job this week so I'll drop some pictures on of the treat of an airing cupboard.

There's a bleed point in the boiler if you can't find one

Also the boiler has a flow switch so if airlocked won't fire

 

[SimonG]

Should be ok on the boiler. It's on the wall in the kitchen and feeds up to airing cupboard above.
Should be still full but thanks for the pointers.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Just in case there's no drain offs around

A long time ago Simon, but we would like to see the pics please...

Still waiting to go back and finish it.
