Back Boiler - Gas Safety

[Billygoat]

Hi

Just had a couple of questions about a baxi bermuda back boiler.

I havent had too much experience in working on these and have a Safety Cert to do tomorrow.

I assume you remove the fire and treat as a normal fire - flue flow spillage etc and then with the back boiler do the gas rate and safety device checks?

Any further advice or help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

confirm max HI of boiler and fire then check ventilation (dont look up at the vent, get up and make sure it is fully open, clean and sized properly), if vent is more than 90% remove the fire, (if less than 90% the install is AR so you shouldnt really carry on, you can do to check and clean everything and still ask for permission to AR and at least you know it will be cleaner/safer than when you started) do TT if landlords, do a flue flow test, gas rate the boiler to see if the burner and injector needs cleaned, check the burner pressure then set to maximum to do a proper spillage test (appliances need to be checked on max, but a lot of people dont turn range rated to max) if all is well refit the fire, gas rate it to confirm what needs to be cleaned, do a spillage test, then relight the boiler and do a combined spillage test, reset boiler burner pressure to previous, refit fire case, finish tea then away you go
