Hoses in boilers

If I ever find the cretin that thought that they were a good idea, I'm going to slap him in the eye...
Bloody glow worm flexicom 30cx.... glow worms too crap

same goes for the exploding vaillant ones,but on the plus side you can pop into your local garage for a bit of hose on a saturday

Those replacement kits aren't cheap either, you'd thought they'd be a decent price as the original fault is a design issue.

I've not even looked but i hope the Glowworm one is a piece of pipe instead of another hose

 

[Nostrum]

If I remember, it's a replacement hose with jubilee clips!

There is a proper copper pipe conversion kit but if I remember it is well over 100 quid. Better to just replace any defective hoses with some car radiator hose & decent Jubilee clips.

It wasn't Vaillant's greatest ever idea but I don't think the problem is as bad as some make out.

For the vaillants,yes but for the glowworm I'm sure it's just a replacement hose.

You use both, Gasman's and Ian's

 

[IDCHAPPY]

Ouch, not cheap for what's essentially a design flaw IMO.

 

[dancinplumba]

Fitted loads of vaillants, highly recommending them, feel embarrassed when pipe bursts, I try and talk them into changing them before they burst but still embarassing

 

[IDCHAPPY]

I do like Vaillants too, just my bum squeaks whenever i take a case off a boiler and i see a hose
