Gas rating?

[macka09]

Hi all. Can't find anything in my corgi or viper book about this but when doing a gas rate on an appliance are you allowed a 10% leeway?

It's 5%

I did a gas rating on a boiler in a flat the gas meter supplying the boiler was in turn one of three being supplied by a main meter.
The other two meters were isolated, I took a reading from secondary meter then again out of curiosity from main meter both had revolving dial, end result. 2Kw difference

No modulating by the way

heating or hot water?

 

[ed209]

Heat only no cutting out on thermostat and no modulating

10% below 5% above

I did the pair again same result

Depending on the boiler that can be the case. Some like ecotecs wont give as high output on heat.

Ahh may have misunderstood. I thought u were comparing rating heat versus how water , but seems like your comparing meters ??

There is a Gas Safe TB about it.
As Phill mentioned in absence of any manufacture stated variance you are allowed 5% over and 10% under the badge stated figure!
