NCS - filling loop and electric cable, condensate discharge pipe?

[bassmonster]

I've not seen this type of filing loop? is it an old type thingy or some form of improvisation?
also, the electric power cable seems to have a dodgy connection and is going behind the pipes...is this ok as i would personally never do that as it's next to pipes that become very very hot..

oh, and the condensate trap discharge pipe is what seems to be like from a washing machine

thank you.

(i'm working towards my ACS)

The terminal strip is a shocker.... The quick fill looks ok as I presume the longer of the valves has a built in check valve.
Wire looks to be too close to the gas pipe(should be 25 mm +).
Where's the safety valve pipework?

 

[IDCHAPPY]

That 15mm going into 22 mm must be it? Sheessh

 

[bassmonster]

What's a safety valve pipework?
Which If any unsafe situation would the wire be classified as?

 

[IDCHAPPY]

I'd class the cable as NCS, but the terminal strip is shocking, should be wired properly or hidden in a junction box.
The safety valve pipework may also be known as the pressure relief valve pipework or safety blow off?

 

[IDCHAPPY]

If the condensate hose is not the manufacturers proper hose then that's another score against it.

What boiler is it, as it looks a bit like a potterton.

 

[bassmonster]

the boiler is a Baxi combi 105he. these were discontinued back in 2007.

so if the wiring is NCS and the condensate trap too, does that mean it would equate to AR?

No - Ncs no matter how many are just ncs

been a few years but 2 AR's on a open flued appliance is upgraded to id, that's the only time you 'add' them together to go to the next level. Somone please correct me if I'm wrong ;-(

You are correct

 

[beesley121]

You are correct

So I can tell my customers i do know what I'm doing, honest

 

[galaxy_plumbing]

write all your ncs down on your cp12 or whatever so dirty landlord knows

 

[phil the bucket]

There's no way I would walk out the door and leave that cable like that it would take 10 min to run a new cable from the spur back to the boiler
If the landlord agree to it of course otherwise I would id the boiler

 

[AWheating]

can you classify something external from the boiler and its parts under the unsafe sitituations proceedure? or does it come under another part some other regulations

That's pushing it, maybe you were lucky this time ;-)
