i had massive problem few weeks ago with one of these i posted up here and not one helped me lol. hardly any hot water and the rads were not heating up well

 

[Ermintrude]

Coil at base heats store coil at top delivers hot . Headder is for the store. Not an amazing performer.

Initially looks like an open vent cyl with two DHW drawoffs.

It's not big enough for house and boiler struggles

Quality job

how many of you would service this? Ideal Concord installed in 1977, been there 3 hours today, cleaned all, plus replaced case seal and pump, but not giving it much longer. Looked like chimney sweep afterwards, bloody thing

I went to change a 2 port valve and the homeowner explained he wired the original S Plan System himself, believe it or not he was actually proud of this! Tried not to laugh!

one thing ive been amazed at since i started doing social housing is the state of the electrics to boilers and controls wires taped together and rammed up the back of boilers y plans wired inside a single plaster board back box and the clock on the front mostly hanging out the wall due to the weight and movement of using the clock, boilers wired with cable straight out of the plasterb
when i started noting them on cp12's i was told its nothing to do with gas safety

 

[IDCHAPPY]

Quality safety valve pipe :lol:
