Today's install.

Good install , I understand now what you mean about the combi valve high , I could not see combi valve on Tonys . I have never had problem draining Megaflow from full to dry no more then 10 min as all comes out under this huge pressure unlike the open vent one where the doc never works or if they do cylinder will be full of lime scale

Nice work! when you gonna take me on some of these jobs eh? lol

Did you have to move those Miele washers vern? Jesus they weigh a ton lol. Had to plumb a few of those in my time.

Yep half inch lol, so the pipe would go into the low loss header, thing is Tom they were bolted to a steel jig, which was then rawlbolted to the floor, theres another boiler above that washer to the right, not my best work but we had limited time as we closed the home to remove a leaking ACV delta combi 55KW with package burner on the front.

It's a good install mate !!!

Thats cracking stuff vern! Shame the electrics are flapping in the wind tho.

I agree pal, i will slap our subbie, to be fair the wires are cylinder stat and twin immersions as back up, this went all the way back to a 3 phase board, we were pushed for time and were all on top of one another, not good, but fun all the same.....

Yeah I've seen a few like that, nightmare to fit wastes cos they're not pumped, which is why they're often raised. Even worse when they block up. I bought a Miele for my house after seeing those commercials in care homes lol. Even my little domestic one is mega heavy.

I use my wet vac and then stick 1m of 15mm in and attach house to it and suck it baby ........ Hate them OV cylinders but most of the time I drain one is when it goes in my van so ........ Can not complain much but its a lot easy to drain the one that has 3 bar pressure inside

The pressure reducing valve is fitted as in came into the room, saved me running another 22 fo balanced cold. I will start making note of the AAV vern.... I PROMISE 😉 as for the draincock I fit the one supplied, may not be able to see it in the pic.

did you fit nrv by the combi valve is required if it aint next to cylinder .....not having a bad vibe from me Tony just asking mate

 

[SafeGasInstall]

why would you suggest AAV on the flow of the coil ? I use manual air vents on flow and return to UHWC coil

Always do Stan on big systems, as megaflos are coil in coil, when they airlock they lock even on sealed systems, then turn off cap when vented and commissioned

I'm acquainted with the service guy for Miele north so I got a washer/dryer for £450. BARGAIN.

I don't think all of them are pump less vern, can usually tell by connections on back, many have 2-3" gravity wastes, these ones usually have a sluice program to get rid of blood/**** etc.

 

[SafeGasInstall]

make sense vern , I have never worked on a huge houses of systems more then about 20 radiators and 1 cylinder .

TBH Stan that was only a 30 rad system...but the bigger ones with more rads and multi zones and pumps are a pain without AAV's, as you are filling and purging, other zones drag in more air, so i just let the AAV's do the job then shut them off, i always ensure they are on the positive side of the pump too, they can drag air in if not!
