Flue in voids monitor

[galaxy_plumbing]

Was absolutely disgusted by its price.

Sensor Baxi part no 7211367 @ £70
Shut off device part no 7211366 @ £150

are they serious? Hope they will lower the price.

What do you think of this?

You could fit 3 hatches for that price

 

[Killy Bing]

Ring up gas safe about it
my previous boss checked and this still doesnt cover the requirement!
or atleast it didnt then

you still need hatches.

You can fit them, but its too expensive, can't believe. Yes, you would fit few hatches of that price

 

[Ermintrude]

Need hatches as detector doesn't remove requirement to inspect and check.

It does give an however in the regs where hatches are not practicable

 

[IDCHAPPY]

Hatches would be practicable is almost all cases though surely?

 

[hammers4spanner]

not if its going through neighbours property

Not an excuse . I didn't check

 

[galaxy_plumbing]

would probably fit whole block of flats with hatches for the price of one sensor and receiver.

Not best practice even says that it's the last resort

 

[hammers4spanner]

its not best practice as it states recommendation however their are numourous flats around where i live where a flue in void passes through unaccessable areas so these sensors are surely a logical solution

you will never be able to put acces hatch in every situation

 

[hammers4spanner]

imo its best practice never to put a flue in void always an alternative

 

[Ermintrude]

But if flue is in a communal void which boiler do u knock off, how do you prevent nuisance shutdowns? Think they operate on n/o on live feed so if co or no signal boiler is off . If ok contact is closed and boiler runs?
