lol .... I didn't notice that But not what I was concerned about Chris

 

[chris watkins]

Got it this time, the filling loop is still connected, don't know why I didn't see it the first time.

 

[mountainman]

I wouldn't have ran the condensate like that.

 

[diamondgas]

It isn't a condensing boiler mountainman, the pipe you see is from the washing machine otherside of the wall.

Chris you're very warm with the guess and I did remove the filling loop!!!

 

[buckley plumb]

is there an external vessel on the rtn pipe with the lever closed.

 

[mountainman]

I know I know!
The air pressure switch has been looped out...

 

[diamondgas]

is there an external vessel on the rtn pipe with the lever closed.

Not a vessel but you couldn't get much hotter What else can be used to accommodate expansion???

[buckley plumb]

not a gravity fed combi is it ?

 

[diamondgas]

not a gravity fed combi is it ?

arty: Well done mate

It was until some muppet told the custard that the pressure needed to be at 1bar!!!! He then fit the filling loop and the valve to shut off the supply to the header tank!!

That left the boiler without a PRV as it was removed so that the f&e pipe could be connected in its place!!!
