The obscene cost of some boiler parts

[John The Rad]

I have just been working on a Biasi M90F 24s
Needs a new aps.
I cannot understand how the average price of a Worcester aps (one of the most expensive boilers on the domestic market) is 25 quid, and the cost of a Biasi aps is £90 plus, from a well known supplier. (Rhymes with Bum Renter)
The two items are identical in manufacturing costs. Why the hell are they so different in purchase price.
They are just a piece of pressed steel a plastic body and a diaphragm, and that's it.
Buy something for a Heatline and it will blow your socks off. Compared to other makes of boiler.

Cheap boilers = expensive parts

Depends where you buy them from as well.

as above, a cheap boiler is usually indicative of expensive parts, false economy really. I'd also try looking at sourcing parts elsewhere,
try here:

AP 119 HONEYWELL C6065F H1227 BI1036102 Biasi
