Wouldn't catch me putting hot water in my kettle. But then again I've never bought leaded in my life as I know I'd pick it up by mistake at some point

 

[Ermintrude]

So u change to leaded and then back as you work your way round boiler? I believe u!

My point exactly

Yeah, I actually do. It's not hard to tell the difference between green and black and pick up the right one.

 

[Ermintrude]

Ok. It's something we choose not to risk. Not to mention the occupational health issues.

 

[tamz]

Heath issues ha :lol: Solder's the least of your worries in this game.

Does no one get taught the water regs?

I do this all the time. Both rolls in the soldering bag, just pick the correct one up.

I did a Flue flow and spillage test over the weekend. While doing a Flue flow test, my training center told us to take off the back plate and let the pellet burn as in photo but my mentor has said the smoke pellet should be burnt thorough the back plate hole......are both ways permissible?

 

[albatross]

Either, but you need to remove closure plate to inspect/clean catchment space and look up chimney so there is your answer.

 

[bassmonster]

Thanks albatross. I cleaned the catchment space which was full of debris.

Another quickie... We'll be doing a gas certificate this weekend. A delonghi 4 Burner gas hob has the data badge missing for some odd reason and there no instructions to hand. Is there a standard range of KW for 4 burners?

Not these days, every make is different now with wok and dual burners etc.
