boilers

A boiler is a closed vessel in which fluid (generally water) is heated. The fluid does not necessarily boil. The heated or vaporized fluid exits the boiler for use in various processes or heating applications, including water heating, central heating, boiler-based power generation, cooking, and sanitation.

    Combination Boilers Trash

    Anyone fitted the new Baxi boilers.

    Anyone fitted many of the new Baxi boilers ? I've fitted a lot of Duo-Tecs & Platinums but know nothing of the new ones. 200s & 400s I think they are called so I'm interested to know how they are performing & how easy they are to fit...oh, & are they lighter than a duo-tec to lift ;)

    Three way valve in Morco Boilers

    Hi I am just wondering do you need to be Gas safe to change a three way valve? This is relating more specifically to the valves in Morco Boilers. You don't touch the gas at all but, you do have to take the front of the boiler off and drain it down. Cheers
