Worked all day, haven't made a tanner - Keston Celcius 25, flues

[Billy Bob Bob]

I thought keston boilers required 50mm ABS solvent UPC pipes and fittings? this is rotten.

so did i

Reg Man I have PM'd you back. Good luck with yours mate.

I'll just add, I was threatened with legal action from one letting agent as I switched their boiler off as they had tenants coming to stay for the week, and had to find them a hotel instead. The girl on the phone said, we've had it signed off, blah blah blah. I was furious when I got off the phone...and crapping myself about getting a letter from a legal firm.

Anyway, I stuck to my guns and I'm glad I did. This forum is a great place to get your confidence back up when people kick it...and i'm glad I found it.

My other half just sighs now when I put the laptop on, as she knows I'll be on here for a quick read, but it really is a useful source of info and help.

So thanks all.

That coke bottle flue is shocking, I don't know how someone could leave it like that.

Some people really do worry me!

Good reading though, keep it up 😉

Surely this is a candidate for Eye Spy or whatever they are calling it these days.

hi Dannypipe that does not look like a celcius 25 more like a c55 ,the 25 comes with a 50mm upvc flue from memory

Think I'll send it in to the Gas Safe Mag rogues gallery. There's a nice prize for best (worst) pictures. Think I could be onto a winner! 🙂

No it was actually a 28, the C25 was in the upstairs flat (the one which i replaced the flue on). The block is all Kestons and Vokeras.
