There is no requirement to pressurise (no minimum water pressure) so you can run it on an open vented if required.

Cheers is that on them all or just certain models

It's all of them I think, just the way they're designed.

also, on your website it says including rear spacing frame? What's that for then?

I'm guessing it permits you to run the pipework from above in behind the boiler, but will check tomorrow.

Sorry, this has taken a few days to run down.

If you are flueing left, right or vertically, and you are bringing pipework up from the bottom, you can throw away the spacer frame.

If you are bringing the pipework down from above, the spacer frame allows room for this.

However, if you are flueing out the back, you also need the spacer frame. When you put the elbow on the turret, its quite close to the wall, and without the spacer frame, the joint between turret elbow and flue would be a few mm into the wall. My understanding is that this contravenes UK regs (not inspectable) and I guess that in Holland, either they have different regs, or they use vertical flues more than we do.

They are working on a tighter turret bend which will obviate the need for the spacer frame. In the meantime, you get the spacer frame as a freebie.

Thanks Ray, helpful as always.

Could you enquire in to any leverage on the warranty for platinum installers?

Appreciate there would be an additional cost.

I can ask. The worst thing they can say is "no".

Saved my bacon being able to get flue bits off the shelf at maidstone the other day

Expect atleast a few orders off me in the next year for them

a 5 yr warranty, now moved up to 7 years*. *subject to attendance on an Intergas training course

And P5 is about to change to P+. Or something else that permits 7 and 10 year warranties.

Will existing P5 installers automatically get the 7/10 year warranties or do we have to do another course?

I emailed Amy Poulter as per your post a few days ago but not heard anything yet.

 

[Atouchofgas]

Automatically, I asked when I did the training. They said it applied to all p5

Don't apologise Ray, you're doing us a favour organising these sessions and I'm grateful...

30th September morning session. But as existing P5 installers automatically get the extender warranty I don't need to go. I've already done the course on the HREs and am P5 registered.

Brand new. I think we are the first stockist.

Central flue, built in, front mounted expansion. Pretty much standard Intergas apart from that.

And P5 is about to change to P+. Or something else that permits 7 and 10 year warranties.

Is a rebadged Atmos from anyone who wants the MIs.

 

[jonny5isalive]

In an ideal world then I would also agree.

That said, if you're replacing a boiler like for like, not many customers will appreciate the additional cupboard space required in order to house a red beach ball in the kitchen cupboard below. Especially when the other products offered don't need it!

Are you saying the overall size of boiler has now increased on the rapid to house the expansion vessel?

My understanding was that they could wiggle it in to the existing case (which was the main reason for changing to a centred flue!)

If it's the existing case, then without the rear jig it makes it a nice compact and solid unit.

Expansion vessel is only 6 litres so pretty small for most houses.

It seems that you can buy an additional 4 years warranty for 125 which still keeps it pretty competitive

 

[Atouchofgas]

Atmos were the original importers, but weren't achieving the sales they said they would so intergas decided to sell them, them selfs

 

[Nostrum]

I thought it was an extension up to 4 years?

If it's 3+4 then that's great.

Seems so

 

[jonny5isalive]

I'm pretty sure it's 4 years extra. Had a conundrum of what to recommend for budget, landlord boilers. No brainer now. I can't really see what more the hre gives. Especially for the price difference. I'll probably be putting external expansion vessels anyhow as I have been on the HRE.

Plus vat. Pretty good tho. Especially for the price of the 32kw. Can leave it up to the customer then
