That is a good example, another 1, a customer of mine just moved into new house and I did some work there I then found a leak on a old boiler he said he has just took out boiler cover as he new the boiler was old...good idea, he rings b.g and the engineer comes out the next day an says the boiler isn't right, a few little not to current standrd things although the boiler is 17 years old. Then he realises he has just took the contract up an says he is not going to change the part as he new he was trying to take them for a fool, which he wasn't. It's not like the b.g engineer was paying for the part or effecting his profit/wages in the end the engineer was nasty and trying to sell a new boiler so the customer literally threw him out, and complained to which he has had the part done now and some discount. That is a jobs worth

See it leaking already :angel_smile: Importantly did you remember the drain of on cold and air vent Vern told you off for last time?

Looks pretty damm tidy though

No you did not Tony LOL, also it is good practice for combi inlet valve to be above the bubble, heat team will crib if they ever go UW......

Nice work though pal....

Pls explain Vern "combi valve to be above bubble "

Pls explain Vern "combi valve to be above bubble "

Combined valve should be above air bubble in megaflo

Pls explain Vern "combi valve to be above bubble "

If any thing goes wrong with the expansion valve or prv Stan, the whole cylinder has to be drained or more or less to the level of the valve you can see on the wall, if it is above the bubble (megaflo has internal expansion air gap so known as bubble top as are Oso cylinders, they dont require an external expansion vessel) no draining is required or very little
