Catalytic converters don't break down, if you read the science, it's obvious why.
I'll take your word on that, but they do have a running and maximum life span.
And there's noway of telling when either is about to expire.

. A bit of morning cotroversy, perhaps.
Well they're hardly going to tell you otherwise are they If you think everything a manufacturer puts into print is true then your very naive.DIA, have you actually read the freely available literature? According to Burley, and this is in their literature (and they have to be careful), they have never foumd a faulty cat.
Do you know what kind of readings you would get on an analyser from one of these fires without the cat in place? I doubt its perfect combustion.the fire emmisions would pass the safety tests. Remember that they burn , at most, aprox half of a normal fire, therefore require half the oxygen. POCs in themselves are harmless UNTIL CO is produced due to lack of available oxygen for combustion.

There has to be more than 3 of us. must be a lot of closet installers, afraid to come out.
I firmly belive that with the safety record of these appliances( ok there has been one tragic incidet in 11 years which was attributed to an incorrect install) in my time they will become, for eco. reasons, like the condensing boiler, obligatory, eg flued fires, (heat up the chimney) will be phased out.
I was just trying to find a web site I visited recently, which said some european governments were giving people tax rebates to fit these fires.
I dont know why BG wont touch them, a real cynic might say they dont use/waste enough gas.
I cant get to grips why we dont grasp these new technologies. Japan & USA -not third world countries- have installed, at the last count, 60,000,000,between them in 17 years, with an exemplary safety record. European governments are giving tax breaks if you install them.
Did the person get the (in my day Transco) boys to check the meter regulator. Was the pressure increase also detected at the fire test point
The tragig incident you refer to was caused by the manufacturers sending out the flueless fire incorrectly set. It was overgassed from when it left the factory, if my memory of the official report is correct.
It is still fact, that the only people who say they are safe are those that make them.
Bit like the widney fires out there
Found it! Newport 6 Oct 2006
Tragic death as a direct consequence of incompetant installer, failing to ensure correct installation.
Any appliance incorrectly installed is potentialy lethal. Just trawl through the HSE incidents with flued fires
Now we all know how lethal flueless fire are,
Come on you luddites, wake up, the world is passing you by. Warm your house not the sky.
