To all Grant installers

[Bunker]

I know that there is not much space around the burner for your oil pipes, especially if you are double piped BUT come through the cab and go vertical, dont try to squeeze them around the burner and FFS, please bend the pipes, dont use hundreds of compression fittings, they WILL LEAK (because as if you do it like that, you are not the sort to use inserts either).

Rant over.

Looks like a DIY

 

[Bunker]

Yes, or gas fitter, same thing :38:

 

[Ermintrude]

No your confused , oil is the same as DIY that's why it's regulated by retired caretakers and is pretty much suck it and see but gas......... Oh hang on ? Did I get it wrong way round?

Lol! That is def done by someone with little experience! I would think all the rest of the work will be very suspect.
Those grant boilers do have the burner too low - even 10mm higher would make a lot of difference.

I agree and now the flexis that come with the boiler are far too short to loop over the top as well.

I guess the reason for the shorter flexis is the longer ones can be too long sometimes & therefore troublesome to fit, but I have replaced some with the longer Riello hoses. I hate the flexis over the top of burners even though it is often only practical way, as if they leak then kerosine will obviously run into the burner. Something for OFTEC to think about & do nothing no doubt.

That guy must be good at something as i can see seven compression joints and to have no leaks on all of them on kero is one hell of a feat for someone that from the onset looks to have very limited skill!!!!

Just cant believe he didnt paint the wall.
Really lets the job down

 

[SimonG]

Dont have this problem cos I wont fit grant boilers

 

[lame plumber]

flared fittings would be ok

I cannot understand the aversion some people have to using a mini pipe bender! Do they think they bring bad luck or something?

Please note discolouration to the tray

I agree, I always straiten pipe first with pipe straightener, then use benders. Use flared fittings as far as possible as they are more forgiving of being knocked.

Straightener? Roll it lazy!
