[billychuff]

I've been asked by my boss to write up how and where i do burner, and working, pressure test's on an ideal Mexico. I can't find any diagrams on the web so was hoping i could pick someones brain
Many thanks

hi mate , both pressures can be taken at the gas valve , inlet side will give you working pressure and the outlet side will give you operating pressure (burner pressure) there are 2 test nipples both are the internal screw type , don,t forget to ldf them after use

can you tell us why your boss wants you to write a procedure for this

If he has to write it out it will stick in his head more 😉

Hey Kirkgas, tamz has it spot on. It's so i get to identify what gas valves are on what appliances, and how to do the appropriate tests...

cheers, well if you need any advice on procedures the best place to get this info is from the many links to manufacturers websites, look up the old/defunct appliances as they are the ones with this type of valve/procedure, baxi 401/552 back boilers are a good place to start,
