Identify Boiler Pipework

[Harry Bloomfield]

The flow on that boiler can only go in one direction, if flow and returns are reversed this is only a problem with TRVs and external stuff not the boiler

Then why does the boiler manufacturer mark on his diagram the flow and return if it doesn't really matter? Why do you suppose my own replacement boiler had to have those same two pipes crossed over (and lots of others) if it didn't really matter?

It doesnt matter to the boiler, it matters to stuff connected to the boiler, the flow inside THAT boiler can not be changed, the pump is within the boiler and would have to be removed and fitted back in the wrong way and then the boiler wouldnt work, older boilers with external boilers yes reversed flow is a problem but not with THAT boiler, you really should read posts properly

OP ...To me this is probably the most important question, those clips can pop and then the case is no longer room sealed. You need the screws for it.

They were on top of it, they were refitted during todays work.

And what about the flue ? has that been properly sealed now ?

New flue was fitted today as old one was a bit short from when the boiler was moved, I'll be sealing it in properly tomorrow

Do you have plans to fit a filter on the return? Not nit picking just curious.

No I don't plan to, the system works fine as it is its only having work done to suit our new extension.
