Boiler cleaning kit

[armyash]

Hu guys what do you use for cleaning boilers on a service?

I have seen the brush sets available was just wondering if anyone has anything else they use.

Any suggestions?

Links to items would be appreciated

Thanks

Dufug? You are an RGI, how is this even a question for you.

At the very least mods should move to unseen forum.

I mainly do oil services so all my stuff is for scraping

Brush, fin abrasive blade, canned air, Hoover / blower. Dust sheet. Decent head torch mag tray for screws .....

[Dannypipe]

Canned air is seriously expensive. Never understood that!

Not used canned air for ages. What propellant has it got now? The old stuff was gas propelled! Great inside a boiler .

 

[jonnyswamp]

As Erm said, with a magnetic tray as a must

Thanks for your input.

I am not trying to offend you, but if you do not know this stuff, then you should not be considered GasSafe, how on earth have you even passed ACS.

Last week i met a RGI who could not use a pipe bender, on Wednesday i met a RGI who could not solder, had no idea at all what to do.

What is going on with our trade, what an absolute mockery of a guilded profession.

I don't know Chalked. I know I keep a can for blocked pilot jets. That's about all I'll use it on now, I'm too tight to spray it around. I tend to use the hoover instead!

Cheers guys i have a set of brushes but not the best and use compressed air but some other bits mentioned that will be useful.

Really? Do you ever actually listen to yourself? Because you clearly passed the first time and knew absolutely everything.

Easy feller. The op is just asking for a bit of advice. Which is what the forum is for. I think your post is a bit harsh. Army ash has been on this forum gaining information while still in the army. A great contributor and keen to learn

 

[Ermintrude]

you are being a Richard.

What don't I know? I'm asking what things people use for boiler servicing that I might find useful. If you can't answer what I am asking don't waste your time replying to the thread.

You are obviously one of those RGI's who didn't need tips/advice/experience to learn the trade properly. Must have been born with the knowledge. I congratulate you.

 

[Dannypipe]

I bought the 18V makita hoover for servicing. Only sucks but its ok. On special, 30 quid at Screwfix at the moment Think I paid 40.

 

[stevetheplumber]

there will be rgi,s out there who never solder same as there will be rgis who never use copper and rgis who have never done a chimney test out side of the training center.there are many side to this game mate were not all multiskilled
funny i was thinking i hadnt seen ash for a while hows it going?

 

[armyash]

It's going well thanks Steve, learning and gaining confidence every day! how's things?

Hope you and everyone is busy.

I am on the forum most nights seeking out info but not always posting

I know they're not everyone's cup of tea but I found this set of brushes from Plumbcenter quite handy.

he passed it because he is flipping dedicated!

Ash has had the balls to ask many things that yourself would take the pee out of because he wants to do something right!!!

would you prefer him not to so you can go on thinking that everyone has the same knowledge and experience?

And while you're at it look down on new entrants to the gas industry?


actually i have a few questions gas.

Why are you not in the private section?
do you know everything about the gas industry when you first passed your exams?

 

[Dannypipe]

I've got that set Croppie, it's fine. Toolstation actually sell a couple of ok sets too.

 

[Dannypipe]

Here you go Ash, much the same but cheaper! Free delivery too.

Toolstation > Hand Tools > Plumbers Tools > Boiler Service Cleaning Brush Set

 

[armyash]

Thanks Dannypipe I think I'll get that set.
