I thought you only took the plunger to bogs, bogrodder! and may be rodded a few blocked drains!

 

[Jim Goodenough]

I will kick it off then. I don’t mind being judged.
Below is an older installation which I did when customer needed an upgrade for her second bathroom.

I like you Knipex and Bahco tools Matchless...

 

[ShaunCorbs]

couple of things

gas 1/2 to 22mm tee isnt gas rated
flue needs another clip on it
mac nrv isnt pressure rated and not safe for boilers only overflow
how come no lagging?

Thank you mate but I'm sure many of us have them as hand tools. I will never change the knipex these are every penny worth as well as the bahco top tools shouldn't be missing in any hand tool bag.

Appreciate your concern but don't see any problem with the gas pipe whatsoever. 22mm to 15mm very standard. Vailla r has 15mm connection which means I always reduce below the boiler. Flow needs another clip? For 1m of flue? I think that's a little over the top though. Everything is safe and secure installed. What you mean with the mac? How is that not safe ? Nothing is going to happen and if the prv opens it's going safely into the waste pipe. No lagging due to price cant do all for peanuts. Not many people are committed to pay for all materials.

Is there any positive word from you rather than just pointing out? Perhaps you show some of your installs. I don't mind and appreciate your opinion as mentioned above. But give also some positive feedback that would be much appreciated too.

I don't think I did anything wrong. I'm happy with my boiler swap

Did you see the German post I tagged you in the other day Ron? You haven’t responded to him?

 

[Harvest Fields]

I think @ShaunCorbs is saying that the tee on the gas pipe is not safe for gas only water.

 

[Harvest Fields]

@ShaunCorbs he could have used. A Hotun? There are rated now aren’t they?

 

[Scott_D]

What wrong with the tee?
Assuming it gas gas o-rings

The test point tee not rated for gas
Every 1m or change in direction or a joint
Mac nrv isn’t rated for pressure and if prv opens it will split the nrv as there designed for no pressure / gravity
Lagging is a must for external installs

Correct

 

[ShaunCorbs]

No gas markings and tee not suitable because it’s not labelled as no one knows later if someone’s changed the orings etc so will be cut out as it will be classed as not suitable

And gas safe could get involved

I haven't seen a thing unfortunately... could you tell me how to find the link or the thread?

You cant see much the markings due to the discolouration. Everything is gas rated with the right o rings. Are the x press fittings rated for 630c to withstand 30min ? Viega fittings are and therefore I use those as they are the best fittings you can get.

Don't be worried all is done to spec. It's just o e of Shaun's concerns again. He always give out but never props other people in positive way. I am used to it by now and I'm not bothered by it.

That is gas safe with the right yellow o rings which are highlighted at the site of the fittings. It has a yellow small dot. But you surely know if you swap the o rings too you can use any fitting song you?

Harvest I know what hes on about but does he also support people without pointing things out? Never seen him giving some props to others ... he must be a very unhappy person

I'm not but don't get me wrong though wouldn't it be better to props sometimes some other engineers? It doesn't come across really good either just point out. If I wanted I could also find stuff which should be changed or amended. However, I'm very happy with the works. I would also change a few things but sometimes the quote doesn't allow for doing better works as I am not going to pay from my own pocket.
