[xtremeo]

Hi, my gran has a potterton prima 30f, what safety features do these old boiler have, if electrics goes the solenoid goes, if the gas stops what safety features does this boiler have for gas. thanks

 

[ShaunCorbs]

you mean if the gas supply drops ? if so boiler would lock out / not work

 

[mountainman]

No lockout on the prima, it'll just keep trying to light.

 

[xtremeo]

thanks mountain man, if electrics goes solinoid shuts, if gas goes it will try to relight until gas resupplied. is that right thanks.

Is that what your saying, or your engineer?

If you're worried get it checked out by a gsr. All you need to know is whether it's safe or not. The rest is down to us as gsr's to worry about.
