Newly gas safe advice please

[ShaunCorbs]

Thanks shaun,

sorry another question. I am just about to go to boiler with water leak. what checks should i be doing if i only remove the boiler case and don't break the gas line. boiler is room sealed, am i then responsible for the boiler, do i need to check flue, do ratio check etc?

thanks for all the advice

Just make sure the case seals are fine and give it a once over how does it look, has it been serviced (you maybe able to sell them a service if they want)

And no don't need to gas rate it ratio or flue check only need them on a service

Understand??

I may be wrong here but I thought if you open up a boiler case into the combustion area, regulation 26,9 checks be carried out

Not unless your working on the gas side,

Don't think people would be happy if you have to test the whole install for just replacing for example a prv

Unless you spot something for example case seals broken or lack off

If you take the case of a new vaillant for example you should be doing all your check. The PRV is behind the case seal and only a GSR can say that the seal is safe.

So you would service the boiler eg fga test Gas rate it etc

There was supposed to be a 26 and (9) in between your and check in my post but missed it out. These should be done anytime a GSR does anything to a boiler itself as a minimum mate. (In my eyes). You are the last man there In a court of law

Yea but it says

1. (a) the effectiveness of any flue;
   
   
2. (b) the supply of combustion air;
   
   
3. (c) its operating pressure or heat input or, where necessary, both;
   
   
4. (d) its operation so as to ensure its safe functioning,
   
   
   So in short a service every time you remove the case, can understand on a positive pressure boiler yes fair enough, but on a room sealed it's a bit much for changing a let's say prv

I understand your point mate but yes on most I do. But I don't class that as a service. As not been cleaned out.
