HALL of SHAME PHOTo`s

You never stop learning. I checked with a colleague in the game for 18 years and he had never seen one. Thanks.

I take it an ID was the right call based on the way it was installed in this case?

Room Sealed Ideal Mini installed into existing twin wall flue. Installed in compartment with ducted high low ventilation from previous open flue boiler.

New flue pushed up into twin wall with open end. Plate of Aluminium to seal between fresh air and POC.

Couldn't believe what I was seeing when I opened the door.

that reminds me of the vertex combi flues diy style..
 
An interesting example of a b/f oil boiler flue. Even more interesting is the second wallhung boiler above it with its flue into the top of the porch! Apparently the whole system was done by some man-and-dog firm which normally only did small domestic jobs, so some of the heating was undersized, boiler pipework a mess, you get the idea! Now getting the whole thing sorted out properly!

Installed October 1985. S plan. Still working header tank crystal clear. Boiler only replaced due to relocation. Condensing system boiler with welded aluminium hex ..... Love to see a Modern boiler do that!

That's gross! Who ever thought that avocado was a great colour for a bathroom suite? I used to fit them, and ask are you sure? 5mm thick bath sometimes 3mm, what a heap of crap. No wonder there is so much silicone with all that bath movement.

Can't believe a Trisave turbo 45 boiler is still in existence. Ground breaking stuff for the time.

Was set up with load compensator , s plan, and danfoss Eco box!!! Installer was my hero until noticed fed fused spur on 0.75mm from a 30 amp circuit.
 
Got called to price for replacing a cylinder. Customer had originally asked their odd job man if they could do away with their shower pump. This is the aftermath of his solution......

If you haven't guessed, he simply connected the cylinder to the cold mains! But its ok, because he fitted a pressure reducing valve and expansion vessel...

An undersized vessel not suitable for potable water. Worst of all, there was no temperature or pressure relief valve fitted!
