Baxi, spying on engineers.

Halfway through changing a hydraulic block on a greenstar 28i junior I got a call from the baxi rep.
That can't be a coincidence!...?
Bit late now but how are you supposed to get the clip back on that flow sensor assembly
I grind the clip tips down to a flat and work in with grips but I know I'm gona break one eventually.
Baxi are still my no2 choice does anyone go to baxi first and if so why (except for knowing that they're watching)?

Pair of decent long nose pliers, get rh side in 1st, then using pliers edge lh side in, simples.

They are aren't they! He seemed to be genuinely shocked when I told him the price difference wasn't good enough any more.
If I need a rear flue or if I've recently put my back out then I'm a baxi man.

Thats a joke right? I haven't fitted one without checking atleast 3 times that I've not used an extra o-ring!

There must be a special tool for compressing the assembly?

Compressing what exactly?

No joke, i find them quite easy.

Plenty of grease and make sure the flow reg cup Is the correct way threaded nut should be tight against the body no threads showing, then push and put the clip in they still can take 5 mins to try and get in due to access

I (wont) look forward to next time, so I can try again.
That and the diverter on an old RSF are some of my least favourite jobs, the retainer on the heat exchanger has been hit and miss for me too and I wonder if the thickness of the o-rings varies sometimes?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Could be something simple as the old ones were imperial and the new ones metric ?
