new installation

[Scott_D]

hi guys
well a update on the new sys, its all up and running took longer than 2 days went into 3, what more can i say the sys has been reg with gs and worcester, no leaks , only issue i had which was put right was 2 rads were 3inches off the ground, got him to lift them upto 6inches, all benchmark paperwork completed and jobs a goodin and heats the house up in about 30-40 mins

Good result, glad you are happy
We love a good boiler picture here:bucktooth:

Does the flue go out through the roof?

 

[northernstar]

nope its horizontal, pics req of that ?

also its connected to a mixershower (mira discovery) and its out this world, dreading my waterbill, love it

 

[Scott_D]

It does look like a DIY job but if it works and you are happy then thats the main thing

 

[Rickster123]

It looks very diy. Those speedfit fittings are totally unnecessary and look horrible. Still if you're happy then we're happy for you.

Love to see the flue and condense tho please!

Hmmm speedfit does not look good, also plugged not on fuse spur, unstraight pipework

Too many elbows. Rotating heating return 90 degree and similar consideration to cold water feed would both square and simplify pipework. More bends and X overs could be pulled and much of the pipework could have been made up on bench, if confidence to solder in place lacking. Copper pushfits to replace plastic on 22mm heating runs would have been better at minimal additional cost. Better still, having cut and formed pipework, pay heating engineer to solder joints whilst he was doing gas supply.

It doesn't look bad (expected it to be push fit fittings) but would like to see where the high temp blow off goes (copper pipe by the plastic overflow pipe) and flue

 

[northernstar]

the reason i got tld for the nonfuse socket is was the was pulled up by a gas safe inspection and told him its not to have a switch on ???? i`m only going off what he told me
we have a saying if its not broken dont fix it and its running like a dream, i did watch it get so many drains the water was clear and watched him sticking a bottle of f1 in, full benchmark paperwork all filled in, called gs up and confirmed its been registered
i let you guys discuss oh and here is the flue

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Any chance of an outside pic if it's possible

 

[northernstar]

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Hmmmm

Does your drain / rain water system go to main drainage or to a soak away ? Do you know ?

He's wrong re fuse spur

 

[northernstar]

the drain is fed straight into the main drains (sewers)

 

[ShaunCorbs]

the drain is fed straight into the main drains (sewers)

That's ok needs a non return valve fitting or an air gap out side

Else if rain pipe gets blocked below connection for the boiler all the rain water could flood the boiler its happened before

This was a professional installation

 

[Riley]

Apparently

 

[Geyser]

That case doesn't look properly fitted to me. The top clip

 

[huddster]

Good spot. Looks like its been pushed under the retaining bar.

 

[northernstar]

hi again guys
an update here, everything is running well, and ive just had a inspection from gas safe and they are happy with the installation i also pointed out the none switch plug socket my fitter used which got high lighted up on here, and his reply was that my engineer done the correct thing and the exact item we request, this is for an engineers safety to make sure there is no power going to they system when its getting worked on , so he will have to take the plug out of the socket rather than just switch it off at the wall and thats direct from gas safe themselves

 

[northernstar]

He's wrong re fuse spur

not according to gas safe, maybe you need to check it out for yourself to stop you getting into any bother off gas safe

Maybe you should appreciate that people give you a help and valuable advises.
You do not seem very pleased that the professional engineers on that forum trying to help you, regardless if your installer has 10000000s of good reviews.

I don't need to be a plumber to see that's a bodge job. I mean not even the simple clips are in order neither levelled up. The wires are poorly done as well as the pipework.
But don't get me wrong having all this done and a high risk of leaks ( Imagine a speedfit pops off ), just to safe money ?

Just pay a couple of hundreds more and you are on the safe side with a good looking installation and not like this.

I don't believe you or anyone who would say that's a good decent installation and I am really proud of it.

Good luck having no leaks and if you have good luck of getting hold the previous installer.

 

[northernstar]

i didnt mean to come over as harsh as you think, and i take and still do take all this advice on here is priceless, i was just saying that the regs are upto date with job and thats what i was trying to say, again apologies if i came across a bit blunt
