I've not seen a Servowarm boiler in years, surprised that any are still about...

Obsolete as you say, let the customer know, must be coming close to requireing replacement I'd have thought. I still have one on the books it can only be a matter of time before I get the call.

Make sure you've got a copy of this handy for when you receive the call

Servo-Warm used to be in High Wickham about 10 yeas ago ! heard some-one bought them out, Sill pass one in the Southway area of Plymouth it must be about 40 year old now, Got the brown flue terminal,

 

[bennygas]

wasn't it a servowarm set up that used to have like a plant pot where you'd add water to the system?

 

[jtsplumbing]

Sort off, used to fit header tank , no overflow or ball valve, that was charged as an extra, used to rebadge Thorn boilers, (Floor standing)

As I recall, Servowarm were very keen on piping up with that carp 'stainless steel' pipe which rotted and blocked at soldered joints.

 

[bennygas]

you on about that truweld stuff from the copper shortage? :ack2: the stuff of nightmares.

 

[mountainman]

Indeed I am, I go back that far :-/

and manual 3 port valves which had a level on for you to choose heating or hot water. Cutting edge stuff..

 

[mountainman]

What, do you mean the ones that jammed in position and leaked from the spindle 'O' ring when you moved it.
Happy Days!
