Hi
Our Vokera boiler was installed just over a year ago. The Heat Exchanger gave up the ghost last week and the engineer took a water sample and stated that is was likely that the system hadn't been flushed property and there were still chemicals present. I have received the water results but...
Hi all, I’ve just installed a two pipe central heating system and need a pressure test. However JG require a wet test at 2 bar then at 10 bar with the pipe disconnected from the rads and boiler.
I should have probably thought about this earlier but I can’t think how I’m going to fill the pipes...
Evening all,
How do you deal with unaccessable flue test points.
Normally I'll just test from outside but I looked at a boiler with a plume kit fitted.
The boiler was in a kitchen cupboard with a side exit flue which meant that i couldn't get the probe in the test point.
I've looked on Kanes web...
Hi I was wondering if any of you can point me in the right direction.
Was working on a boiler today whilst on the phone to technical holding my hand through a test and he mentioned some engineers have thinner test leads to get into certain connectors better as I was struggling with something...
hi guys
In future I would like to install a gas test like a T fitting does anyone know where to get those fittings? An old mate has told me it would be a good practice.
Thanks

I was working on a project once when I had seen another plumber testing his install with an air compressor test pump. Doesn't seem to be any on the market. If you Google Air pressure test pump or pneumatic pressure test pump. Nothing comes up so I'm assuming that it's his own set up. It makes...
Hi
A kitchen tap thats in regular use has failed a legionnaires test, ive been asked to clear out the pipes? I know they have an isolated shower, maybe a dead leg somewhere but not directly on this pipe. So can it be a dirty pipe even if in regular use? I always saw this as a stagnant static...
I have a Vokera Compact A combi boiler. All the clearance distances around it required by the manufacturer for servicing are good. However there is not very much space in front of the access caps/nozzles at the bottom of the flue. I understand that these caps are used when the boiler is serviced...
Bro has a system boiler which he'd like to replace with a combi. He's on the 5th floor of a building and the gas metres are at ground level.
The gas pipe route seems to be up the outside of the building for most of its way, then comes in and travels up to a 'room' on the roof where the system...
Hello guys , girls .
Can you please advise on the following.

hey, new install. Vokera boiler, 1 rad and heat coil for a 6k Gallon koi carp pond. Had a seperate gas main ran to the log cabin plant room to feed the boiler with its own gas meter. He sorted everything and sourced boiler ect before I took on the job. Did a tightness test with my Kane. After 1...
Probably been asked before but, is there anywhere you can buy these things?
I dropped one in a gravel bed today and couldn't find it at all.
Luckily I had a spare one that came from an old installation so I fitted that and it tested ok but I don't want to be in a similar situation and find that...
I've been asked to perform a pressure test on a soil stack i've recently installed for a new build and i'm using an inflatable test bag for the bottom and i cannot get it to seal. I flushed the toilet thinking maybe a bit of water on top might help it and i can see it dripping though. The bag...
Scenario:
Service/Cp12.
Tightness test, E6 meter with boiler and cooker.
1 mb drop found over 2 mins no smell of gas.
Acceptable drop.
Disconnected cooker, re-tested.
2 mins no drop.
Would you turn cooker off?
Or re-connect and just record the drop on the CP12 in the TT section.
I'm looking for a cheap oil pressure guage and the hose that connects to oil pump. can someone recommend on eBay for a basic gauge and hose. I can get a gauge for £15 but I don't know what hose size I need.
It's my first year for plumbing at college and so far liking it a lot and excited about it. I would like to know what should I definitely remember for my plumbing exam on tuesday? It seems like we learned mainly basic things but I was off in one of the days so I might have missed something...

How long is it wise to leave a system before filling it up, after you have wet tested it as obviously it will stay wet throughout with untreated water?
Guys , I am not sure on this one , can anybody please clarify ...
Do we have to do a extra assessment on how to do a CO room safety test ?
Thanks in advance
