So had a bit of a discussion today regarding the above. We mainly work on Vaillant Ecotec pro’s, some pluses and ecomax’s. I know the front cover seal is ok if it has cracks and finger indents. (An advisory as per Vaillant technical). I also know it’s the main perimeter that forms the seal.
I’m after what you guys would class it as if that perimeter seal is damaged and doesn’t create a seal? For me it’s AR, but I could be wrong as one engineer pointed out it’s a room sealed appliance and there’s nothing in the gas regs/usp about it. He also mentioned it would just draw extra air. However I mentioned (as per Vaillant technical) it’s then taking the air from the room, which if it were new build not much ventilation?
Also as an aside (can’t recall if I’ve asked this): I’ve also been told that removing the cover from these boilers is like an mot, if you change a bulb you wouldn’t re-mot, therefore I don’t need to gas rate etc (26.9). - any thoughts?
