hi, i recently moved into a house. the house is about 25yr old. it has a back boiler in the fire but it is disconnected. it wasnt disconnected for any particular reason. it was fully functional before it was disconnected. the previous owner was getting new rads fitted beside the fireplace and he got the 2 pipes coming from the fire place seperated and capped off because he didnt believe in open fires and didnt like the idea of a back boiler.. this was about 7yrs ago that this was done. he never lit the fire since it was disconnected but i have been lighting the fire for 2 weeks now. so basicly i was wondering if i connected the 2 pipes back up would it be ok or do you think the seals might be burned out because i was lighting the fire this past 2 weeks? and if the seals did burn out would this just cause a leak or would it cause it to explode? thanks i look forward to hearing any responce
