Baxi 600 range of combis

[Scott_D]

Worked quite well in the end bud easy to set up and quiet in operation connected a Honeywell T4 wireless programmable thermostat for boiler plus, for the money theres worse out there. Cheers kop

They seem good value for money
Might try one over a logic

I had problems with 2 baxi intecs I fitted and i have worked on a loads more they always seem to play up that's what put me off the 600 series they are very similar inside , I have still been fitting the duo - tec and platinum as my Landlord type boiler but you have to move with the times I guess and you dont know what they are like till you try one problems out the box are never a good start , on the plus side it's got a metal casing time will tell Scott . Cheers kop

600?
Why are you switching?

 

[king of pipes]

Stainless Heat exchanger over the ideals aluminium ? At a guess and a bit cheaper .

Heat ex on the ideals

I got one for you. Customer choose a Nabis bar mixer from Part Centre. I order it, go and collect it, take it out of a sealed box. Has Bristan stamped all over it. Customer was well happy.

Alot if plumbs own stuff is made by the big boys its just debranded.
Think their rads if i recall are myson

 

[hammers4spanner]

I dont fit baxi anymore after speaking to one of their engineer who said off the record they are crap. The other reason i got fed up with the pin on the diverters leaking through. One of them caused a major problem with the electric garage door.

Commissioning at 5.30 - double time?
Neat job, is it a pre made kit for piping up the back?

 

[king of pipes]

No mate you get a add on plastic spaced clip bar but I didn't use it this time as had a vertical flue so no worries failing the flue with the pipework

I assumed pipes in talon clips would be too big for the void behind the boiler.
Have you fit the in flue weather comp on any?

I cant disagree mate I have had diverter issues but on the whole all within warranty and minor inconvenience to me getting the system clean a decent mag filter and good quality inhibitor is the best defence I find. Kop

 

[king of pipes]

No mate I fit a Honeywell T4 or T4r to get boiler plus , I find weather comp causes nuisance call backs for me as customers cant get it in their heads that the rads may not always be as hot when the heating is in heating mode.

It wasnt a minor issue with the garage door, it was an electric one the diverter leaked blew the fuse then tripped the main board which was in the garage which coincidently was shut when it happened.

They had to drill a hole in the door to get in ,all this whilst their mum was staying in the house who was on super ill .

They wanted compensation as i talked them into a baxi lol.

Not your fault mate I guess the boiler could of had its own dedicated circuit with a sole circuit breaker but it's easy to say that after the problem has happened, will see how these perform over time. All the best Kop

This may help ?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

kop may i ask why the filter went below and not above even if it meant dropping the boiler an extra inch?

 

[king of pipes]

Boilers going in a full height cupboard Shaun as we are fitting a new kitchen next as below. Kop

 

[Harvest Fields]

Good reason. Better access?

 

[Scott_D]

Are you fitting the kitchen as well?

 

[king of pipes]

Yes mate me and a carpenter mate of mine I will post a few pictures once complete. Kop
