Last Plumber replied to the thread Old one pipe system.Probably best to start a fresh. I tend to agree with Chuck. It will work but it is not compatible with a modern boiler.
-
Check the boiler's MI's, they probably won't 'allow' a one-pipe system. Even if they do OPS were traditionally designed for 75 or 85°C operation (and no TRVs) so the boiler probably won't be able to work in condensing mode, which will...

Last Plumber replied to the thread Does installing these flue brackets require a Gas Safe engineer?.No you don't have to be gas safe to do that so long as the flue is not disturbed, in my humble opinion. No other engineer in 20 years has said anything? It could do with one by the look of it but if it is solid, I can see why it...

Last Plumber replied to the thread Does this flue conform to regs?.Has that flue exhaust always pointed downward? Personally I would have brought the flue further out and used a plume kit to take it upward. I have not seen what is above the facia?
