That's the problem if you don't do it to MIs, or better, - no warranty, no building control approval, & not a leg to stand on!

Sorry Tam I was refering to this
"Connect a solid fuel boiler up with a vent and no cold feed/expansion the water will simply boil off. I know that because I've done it.
After that its stress relief time for the welds.
Did you read what peteheat wrote on the bs6700 thread? That guy knows his stuff."

Aye i read the other thread. I thought it peculiar he (Nordio) would refer to that post when it was clear to a wean with a biscuit bum what peteheat was on about :frown:

And then wrote
Is it because he's from Ireland its ok. lol. Mr Flux is from Ireland too.

Ah! the central heating return to the boiler. The primary gravity is not pumped which would have Feed and expansion.

You missed out this bit in your quote
He was not advocating what you are saying.

Nordio
Then why did he write this...
E
ecowarm
Why did you write in bs6700 questions "Blocking the feed route? That doesn't seem like convention with a solid fuel boiler." when you have been saying there is no need for a feed in this thread?
N
Nordio
I was asking the question to peteheat. Ask him.

Nordio can you remember a couple of years back on another site where you were saying it was fine to cap a solid fuel bbu. I answered with reference to this or a similar site ( i will find the original if you like)
HSE Safety Alert: Explosion risk from redundant domestic back boilers
Your answer was it was fine to do this as you had did it on your own house and lived alone so would only kill yourself.
Obviously your vision has not become any clearer. Keep swinging your stillsons in someone else's direction.

I also read somewhere tamz that this is the same on gas bbu's, do you know if there is a tech bulletin or safety notice like the one you have posted here too?
E

I have just been reading a thread on an other forum with a Tamz and Nordio discussing this very thing, Oh and everyboby thought Nordio was wrong on there as well

Gas bbu's are different. No one is going to light them if you cut the gas and power.
There was a TB about bbu's (gas) but it didn't mention drilling the exchanger. A bit like belt, braces, condom and get your mate to tell you what it was like :lol:

Not a lot but enough. You are advocating doing things that are not (yet) legal in the uk (regardless of what the MI's state). Many of these stoves and bbu's are fitted by diy persons who have no concept of the risks they face if they do it wrong. Things will no doubt change in the future and the proper controls will be widely available to buy.
Until then, in the UK we have to abide by the laws of the land.
I LOVE a T bone steak and when they banned them (mad cows) i couldn't buy one (legally) but i was well aware of the risks i ran.
DIYers are generally not too clued up so don't encourage them to jump in when they can't swim
