Today's install.

[vern]

The pressure reducing valve is fitted as in came into the room, saved me running another 22 fo balanced cold. I will start making note of the AAV vern.... I PROMISE as for the draincock I fit the one supplied, may not be able to see it in the pic.

Only nit picking pal, its top drawer:biggrin:

did you fit nrv by the combi valve is required if it aint next to cylinder .....not having a bad vibe from me Tony just asking mate

 

[SafeGasInstall]

why would you suggest AAV on the flow of the coil ? I use manual air vents on flow and return to UHWC coil

Always do Stan on big systems, as megaflos are coil in coil, when they airlock they lock even on sealed systems, then turn off cap when vented and commissioned

They better be Tom , for what they cost you can get : washing mashine+ dishwasher + small fridge for your beer

I'm acquainted with the service guy for Miele north so I got a washer/dryer for £450. BARGAIN.

I don't think all of them are pump less vern, can usually tell by connections on back, many have 2-3" gravity wastes, these ones usually have a sluice program to get rid of blood/**** etc.

make sense vern , I have never worked on a huge houses of systems more then about 20 radiators and 1 cylinder .

TBH Stan that was only a 30 rad system...but the bigger ones with more rads and multi zones and pumps are a pain without AAV's, as you are filling and purging, other zones drag in more air, so i just let the AAV's do the job then shut them off, i always ensure they are on the positive side of the pump too, they can drag air in if not!

First class work Gents.

Craftsmen one and all.

I tip my hat to you.

 

[tackleburger]

Nice tidy job. Isn't it great when you have the space to work in so you can plan it properly. re the airvent i think you'll be fine just having one on the boiler. Given the position relative to the boiler different if the cylinder was above the boiler though.

 

[Whn1]

I agree tackle but.... Mi's do state you have one on the cylinder so.. I must start... Probably on the next one..... Or the one after that.

 

[lambchop]

I like your work mate, and you have passion (ohh err) for it which is always good and rightly should be proud of your work. We can all pick on somebodys work if we look hard enough. If I was doing your install on a price I would use a few more solder fittings as time is money, but day work that should be the standard for a good time served plumber (which obviously you are) working at a reasonable pace, so nice one :yes:

 

[TBServices]

could any one explain to me what does this mean ?

Vern, out of interest why have you lagged the D2 pipe on your nursing home install?

 

[Whn1]

Ruined I tell ya... RUINED

 

[TBServices]

It was ruined the minute a potterton went on the wall

 

[peteheat]

A question more than a comment;

Is the pressure vessel upside down?

Reason I ask is all solar diagrams say the Schrader facing down, old school says facing up and the big vessels on legs it's up.

Who is right?

Doesn't really matter IMO but most MI's I've seen state valve at bottom.

I loves my pottertons mate, suprima has to be my least favourite mind. The boiler was reused hence the vessel, external pump etc. so didn't have much choice.
