Installing UK purchased boiler abroad

[Happyplumber]

It was only a short while ago you were working without being registered, pot kettle black comes to mind Telly Tony

 

[transam]

We fitted some UK bought boilers abroad but we squared it off / had permission from the manu

was not Vaillant & it was in spain


Poland dunno as I would want to fit a boiler out there , to close to the Russian border , trouble kicks off & u

get taken prisoner by them Russians

diet of cabbage soup & pickles in some gulag in Siberia + being tortured 240 v through the nuts & u would confess to any thing

even worst u may end up having to bed down with one of them X weight lifting/shot puter type Russian woman

Transam, what do you mean having to bed down..............she would be on top and you would be squirming me thinks

 

[sooey]

DP, what do you mean she??

Very interesting thought process and progreessions from you two. I've copied and sent them to my therapist who has helped me a lot with my flights of fancy and delusions.

I was paid by the owner to inspect the cylinder.

I don't like meeting unqualified installers!

Tony

But you were there as how did you put it, lacking in the skills to read the technical manual.....

There's every chance that the boiler/instal may well not need the two port, depends on what controls were being installed and whom the manufacturer of the cylinder was.
If you were there as an inspector for the cylinder you'd also be aware that there are other means to comply with building regs part g section 3 that don't require the use of a two port valve!

The sooner the frequent visitors realise that agile is out of his depth on most subjects, and stop thinking his need to constantly reply with dangerous and unsound advice is the gospel, the safer this industry will be!!!!

Before I advised the owner, I did check with Viessmann just to be sure, and as I expected they agreed that the two port is required to meet the G3 requirements.

What's does building regs G3.18 say about whether a two port is required to meet the regs??????

Pretty sure you can wire the boiler live wire through the overheat stat on the cylinder and still comply? You need to isolate the heat source.. No power means no heat. A zone valve (must be spring return) obviously does this. But I have often thought... What if it's passing? The mains through the stat is a more reliable method really.

The Viessmann fellow was adamant that it was required for any unvented not made by Viessmann and even showed me their layout diagram with it.

 

[Biggles..]

Viessmann don't write the building regs.
Just one example of compliance if you use their own 4 pipe boiler/controls and cylinder NTC it's not needed in their own spec.
The requirement is simple, under overheat the heat source is to be removed, lots of ways this can be achieved without a two port.

He showed you their layout.....you making video calls nowadays, or did you Skype them.
