On second thoughts, he's taken an old Diplomat out of a demolition job, and now he's going to wall hang the beast, and get another 40 years out of it. :)

Apart from the wall-hanging part, thats probably not as silly as it sounds. :)
 
Ps nice work but York bottom clip on the horizontal run is on the pull bend and at an angle -1 point

Nice job ,, Can't see the balance valve on the cylinder return , !!!

Under Part L balance valves shouldn't be fitted to the hot water primaries. The balancing valve is to ensure that there is capacity to run the heating and hot water at the same time. Modern control systems allow the water heating to be timed earlier than the heating which enables a quicker more efficient heat up time with no detrimental effect on the heating.

i reckon it's an Apollo Fanfare being fitted.

"it is reccommended that an air bleed point or automatic air vent is incorporated in the primary return pipework close to the megaflow eco unit"

surley my vent near the boiler should suffice? What would everyone else do?
 
Vent on flow and return next to unvented cylinder and vent on flow to vented cylinder !
Vent I use is manual not automatic on sealed systems !
vent on open vent I use are automatic

did a worcester training course yesterday and there was a young lad there with his gaffer. I started ripping an install someone had done as boiler was on the **** and they had used yorkshire fittings as end feed leaving plenty of snots (massive pet peeve) Turns out it was installed by the young lad :p

Brave man to upload a picture of your work on here. Lots of people like to pick holes, not soo many willing to post pictures of their own work....
 
think this will be in the popular threads for a while yet. Like you say above, very brave..
 
Ahhh you girls don't scare me :) there'll be plenty more where this came from.
 
Some more ammo for you gents. 12 hour day yesterday, no breaks.

Obviously the big one is a panoramic shot, I'm not that good with a bender.
 
Aw come on, it has it's place. Not very often I agree.
it won't be seen when finished because the cylinders going in a cupboard and they'll be around the back.
 
See it leaking already :angel_smile: Importantly did you remember the drain of on cold and air vent Vern told you off for last time?

Looks pretty damm tidy though
