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

Ah can't complain mate, busy which is great.. Business is going well. Basically all I got done today was getting the old boiler off the wall and Cadent fitting a new ECV!
How about you Shaun, how's things?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

That's good and you get some days like that

Just have to move on and do something else like hang the boiler and sort the flue out or flush the system etc

Very good slowly ramping up the kids are off so the schools are starting to pick up

Would have hung the boiler but I ordered the wrong one (can't return it either), by the time I wasted the day was too late to start anything else.. *shrug* oh well!

You do a lot of commercial work?

Already has an external one.. I’m hoping I can fit the Keston so I don’t have to order another Baxi - either way I’m stuck with a heat only til a custard needs one

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Delivery arrived at 10am!! Flue was leaking so had to fit a Baxi in the bathroom (different location!) had to climb out the loft window and up the pitch roof to the flat roof to bung the flue.. 2 years ago I was a nervous wreck going up a ladder 2m high

Yeah, air pressure went from 100ml to zero in about 30 seconds repeatedly.. for peace of mind I tested my equipment on a single piece of 2” and it was solid..
