Go on then, rip it to pieces

My first boiler install so far, practically on my own. My GSR man is there bit taking a back seat and just letting me get on with it.

He's pottering round changing trv's etc and just leaving me to the boiler. Trying to do it as neat as I can.

Return will run round the top of boiler, down the side then filter on underneath.
Flow will drop straight down the back of boiler.

Let me av it then. Criticise the turd out of it!!

Why haven't you run the pipes in the backplate?

 

[Rickster123]

Oh and enough with the core drilling pics in full health and safety gear!

Looks neat enough, good job for your first one.

Doubt they will need a radiator fitting in that room

Havnt got time to spend bending than all. Customer boxing them all in anyway

That's not full h n s gear. That's genuinely what I use drilling cores. Going all out would be gloves hardhat and a harness lol

Why does it look like the boiler and all that pipeworks in the front room

 

[BLOD]

why are you coring from the outside in ?

Very neat imho if you're running the condensate to outside just go up to 32mm waste. My first install i did in just condensate. About 5 inches in length and it flipping froze. Was in the snow and ice re running it. Lucky the customer found it amusing me getting blitzed with snowballs courtasy of her kids....

 

[Kyle87]

why are you coring from the outside in ?

I drill pilot from inside.
Then drill about 4 inch core from inside.
Then go outside and drill inwards
No blow out and most mess outside!!

It's actually in a back room behind garage that doesn't get used

 

[Destroyer2813]

Wouldn't want the copper bill, hope you've got enough in for it.

The bill ain't my problem lol. I get paid no matter what. It's a couple of hundred quids worth anyway.

Never had a cored hole blow any bricks. And I have cored a few.....
Looks good, get decent extraction gaer and core from the inside. If your bricks are blowing, then the bit is turd/blunt
