[hammers4spanner]

so you have a red book stating building regs which you cant find saying that all new boilers must be on a sealed system???

Maybe you could scan the page....

building regs state that if u replace boiler or cylinder it must be changed to fully pumped sealed system with cylinder stat and room stat .

And what if there is a solid fuel link up in it!!

 

[hammers4spanner]

to specify and design does not mean build regs

why would i need a book to design a heating system when i was a time served apprentice???

 

[phil the bucket]

cant be arsed scanning the page defo in there about if u change boiler or cylinder u must change to fully pumped s plan with stats on both cylinder and central heating. The book is really good for boiler sizing, pipe sizing, cylinder sizing, don't really care if u don't believe me just trying to help

domestic heating design guide small red book . not sure what page its on defo in there

Are you Chinese ? they have a little red book !

 

[hammers4spanner]

so it doesn't say you must seal system??

 

[hammers4spanner]

i am not saying i dont believe you but would like to know the reg where its says you must seal system on every boiler change or cylinder change like you said in earlier post .

im not aware of that reg so would like pointing in that direction

its got references to building regs in the book. I im also a timed served apprentice with 10 yrs experience but don't care who u are u still need reference books in the van nobody can remember every thing.

Nobody is suggesting you need to know/remember everything, you just need to be able to point to actual regs for claims you may make.

Cheers Chris, I had read and discounted section 6, mainly because its not a first installation or an increase in capacity, however a read of section 6 would make you believe you cannot replace a boiler with a larger model without almost rebuilding the whole place to a thermally efficient standard 😀

Well it does say if economically feasible, and in most peoples cases it wouldn't be.
