ECV letby on boiler install job

[jaydebruyne]

hi peeps,

Just tested the gas pre boiler install and the ECV is letting by. Obv I won’t know if there’s a drop on the system until the ECV is replaced, do I halt the install until this is done or carry on cuttinggas pipe so I can take the oldboiler off?

Cheers

CArry on
The gas must be off anyway?

Cool.. but if it’s letting by, how am I to confirm the drop (if any) before I work on the gas run?

Anyone ever replaced a Keston with a new Keston and joined into the existing twin flue?????

Yea needs to be the right stuff, but I think you have to pressure test the flue to make sure it's sound
