Uninstalling Ideal Concorde CX70 from church cellar...

[harrygashull]

On Tuesday we will be attempting to remove an old Ideal concorde CX70 from a church cellar, the boiler has a dry weight of apron 330kg and the space is awkward for lifting...

I notice on the installation instructions that the boiler could and more than likely was delivered in pieces... after all of these years what are the chances of us being able to remove it in the same fashion all be it in reverse. will the pieces have fused together and require the gentle persuasion of a sledge hammer?

any advice is appreciated... and before you say, no we can't leave it down there...

tbh, Its brand new and shouldn't vibrate much, got rubber lined clips on it too so shouldn't be an issue ��

I am moving the expansion under the pumps for servicing ease

I'm starting to veer away from anti vibration mounts and bellows on new pumps now. With the new technology in the impellor design and the pumps themselves ramping up and down I feel they're no longer required and present an unnecessary expense as well as being something else that can go wrong.

understand your point and normally pumps fixed to walls etc

All up and running, returning next week to lag and tidy wiring...
