[doitall]

stupids. you're so funny. haha ha ha..........

i've followed the thread as it happens, maybe you should reread my post and try to actually understand it. a hint - the key word was pedantry.

nice attitude by the way.

The poster was wrong and I put him/her/it right.

They are not Obsolete and readily available from larger merchants.

No body has agreed, or disagreed, with my suggestion as to why they were required on solid fuel boilers.

Does anyone know if they are still shown as required on current solid fuel boilers?

Whilst the item may still be available, its quite likely that the application for them is obsolete!

Are you suggesting they manufacture the things because they look pretty Tony

Do you need to fit them on intergas boilers then?

Safety Valve
A non-adjustable spring-loaded safety valve, preset to operate
at 3 bar (45lbf/in²) shall be used. It must comply with BS 6759:
Pt 1. and include a manual testing device. It shall be
positioned in the flow pipe either horizontally or vertically
upwards and close to the boiler. No shut-off valves are to be
placed between the boiler and the safety valve. The valve
should be installed into a discharge pipe which permits the
safe discharge of steam and hot water such that no hazard to
persons or damage to electrical components is caused.[/quote]

Referring to the above
1, The valve in question is adjustable.
2, The valve should be installed into a discharge pipe.
3, They must include a manual testing device.
4, Therefore these valves are still used for high pressure steam, air compressors etc, but are obsolete as far as BS 6759 pt 1, is concerned and are no longer used or fitted on central heating boilers,
