I think they were trying to preheat the gas 🙂

Yeah was replacing the 22 for 28. Was a good tat day 😉

Why 28? Surely in times of such austerity shouldn't you be downgrading to 15mm so boiler gets less gas? That's how we explain under gassing

Customer complaining of warm water through the cold taps. All cold fed from balanced outlet.

You couldd feel the heat waft out of the airing cupboard as you opened the door.

Well I won't worry about cleaning the condense trap then.

Clearance?

It's got a cage round but should it really be below ground?

The customer is in dispute over various other issues. The heating has been coming on at night, the engineer sent round to sort the issues changed the Honeywell programmable stats for Danfoss ones and then set them up wrong so the heating was set to 22° over night. There could be reverse circulation issues as the hot water return is teed in in the wrong place, before both heating returns. There is a TRV in the bedroom where the stat for upstairs is fitted. The engineer has written in the logbook that the system was flushed with clean water before adding X100 because it is a new system. That clean water will dissolve the flux residues and grease in the radiators well! It's 10mm plastic as well so should sludge up nicely in a few years.
The customer is a chartered surveyor so has puulled them up on loads of issues, airbricks below ground level, gradient on front path too steep. He is also working for some of his neighbours due to issues with missing insulation in roof voids and cavities etc. He's like a dog with a bone. It's quite fun working for someone who wants you to find as many faults as possible.

Booooooooooooom :001_9898: SV on boiler will take over until pressure drop below cut off set point
I think Tamz once said GSR doesn't make you a good engineer, this might have been the GSRs lad who did this,
some excuse.

It's a heat only so no safety valve on boiler. Shut valve and pressure goes up until something gives way. Cue water at 80 degrees spraying across the room.

Mike,
Are you saying that if its heat only boiler the chaps out there are relying on a SV which could be metres away from the heat source, what as
the world come to.
