Worcester greenstar 8000

[Steve weightman]

Had a read and watched a video of the new greenstar 8000 today first I thought it was a speaker to start with and not a boiler looks smart though but the video had hidden pipes so not so pretty when visible. 50kw as well,blimey, you'll do well to have mains water pressure to benefit from this

Most of them also dont have a 50kw domestic boiler. I am really not a fan of Worcester but this one looks good.

Expect to see most 50kw run in 22mm maybe

that will be fine if its under 2m and no more than 2 elbows

 

[Harvest Fields]

That’s ok. You can work on upto 35mm at specific times.

It looks to be missing all the valves in the video?

yea the jig hasnt been installed

 

[Scott_D]

That’s why it looks like you have space to remove the trap then. Will be valves, wires and pipes everywhere after installing

The jig sits behind the trap wires are to the left of the boiler you can see the grommets

[Harvest Fields]

PRV and condense is combined I believe.

The automatic filling loop is a great idea when one of those plastic parts fail in true Worcester style.
