advice needed on new pipework on boiler

[a5ian300zx]

Hi,

Thanks for all the advice.

The boiler looks like the one attached (its not a picture of my actual boiler)

External Pipe connections
C.H Flow (IN) / D.H.W Outlet (IN) / GAS Supply (OUT) / Cold Water Feed (OUT) / C.H Return (OUT)

also the gas looks like its on the right in 28mm ????

I think its 22mm pipe which is going up into the ceiling.

The gas looks like 22 mm at least up to to the tee which then goes up and the 15 mm branch feeds the boiler ask him to check properly because the final connection on vaillants this age is 15 mm for the gas

I think its 22mm pipe which is going up into the ceiling.

Point being if that's a 22mm or 28mm up to the tee it might not need upgrading back to the meter as quoted.

Photo of flue would be nice (Not sealed) To be honest 8 t0 10 year old boiler now is the time to replace it B4 new kitchen is fitted, Lots on the market with up to 10 year warranty, sod's law short time after kitchen is completed something major will go wrong with boiler They don't like the London hard water.

Hi,

The boiler is a ecotec plus 618 as per sticker and underneath it says ecotec Pro 28 r2.

I will upload the pic of the flue when I am on the computer next as it does not work on the phone.

Thanks

Picture of Flue and exit pipes on side of house.

He said will replace the whole Flue and redo the exit pipe so it goes to the drain as its dangerous as one will spill out hot water and the second (white) is mixture of Cabon monoxide and water.

Yep they need sorting also something he didn't pick up on you need to check the rain down spout goes to main drainage and not a soak away
