1st Boiler you fitted

[Rob Foster]

We must all remember our 1st fit. Mine was a ELM Le Blanc 4.20, 2nd was a 3.? Le Blanc with only french instructions and we connected the mains water up to the gas feed - spreads asked why water was wizzing out pipe thro wall ! 4.20 was a combi with no diverter valve - 2 circuits around heater, dhw and Chw

Ideal Concord W RS, one of the first cast iron, wall hung, Room Sealed natural draft balanced flue boilers.
You had to have mussels to lift them on the wall on your own.

It was still going strong nearly 30 years later when house was modernised.

Went back to the first GLOW WORM i fitted last week- open vented system- at the time PF and new rads except one. Trouble was F+E had a thing!? growing on top like a squid about 1/2" thick - an orangey brown, thick enough to pick up and then it ripped and slipped back into the deep dark depths! Never seen that before has anyone else?

Has anyone tipped inhibitor straight into the F&E?

Has anyone tipped inhibitor straight into the F&E?

Maybe - he did add some rads after I'd been there, and I told him about if he drains down etc... You thinking it's globbed inhibitor in f+e?

 

[Harvest Fields]

Yes mate, maybe.

 

[Chalked]

Probably,Thorn Apollo. But could have been a Dunsley coal back boiler.
