3 port valve problems

[Chalked]

A three way valve can only shut one port. Change the valve and problem solved

What a mess!

Don't take people at their word mate people will say they have any qualification to get a job sometimes there are thousands of illegal gas fitters so working on the unvented cylinder would seem less risky to some of these uninitiated people. Any installer who is qualified would never have a problem with providing you with details of their qualification. Be it a gas safe card or a G3 card. Unfortunately there are people out there that will just lie to you.

Do as Howsie said and get somebody qualified in to do it and bill the original company as by the sound of it they have had ample opportunity to get it right

Two port valve that fails in closed position necessary on primary flow to cylinder this is a safety matter irrespective of how well system is working.

I have mentioned safety before joni i'm not sure I was taken seriously

By whom, me? I answered your post and agreed that safety was an issue and that a review was necessary. I would think that should be pretty clear.

 

[Howsie]

Are you hoping to fix this yourself?

 

[Riley]

I understand your post but you seem to think that by getting the system "working" it will be to spec and safe. I'm not having a go but I would seriously contemplate getting someone else in to rectify the situation as the installers haven't filled me with confidence a) on their install and b) on their ability to find the issue. We take safety very seriously on this site and would hate for our members to come a cropper when this can be avoided. All I would say is please don't trust the installers that they are qualified I have seen more builder thrown in dogs dinners unvented cylinders than I care to mention. Ask to see there certification if they are qualified they won't mind, I know I wouldn't.
