That decodes to Kent, Worcester or Yorkshire! Not Essex?

Dont you have the G3 for unventeds?

Nevertheless, it sounds as if I can take early retirement now! But I will hang around just in case.

Question, unvented giving discharge to single pipe outside. Totally unpredictable and sometimes cold and sometimes warm. Whats the fault?

Ex vessel is at correct pressure and all safety devices are operating correctly!

Kids ****ing in the tundish

Yes it would decode as those three offices, we are a nationwide company my regional office is based in wrotham kent. The same office is also shared by alpha boilers.

My particular are of work is mainly essex and suffolk, would you like a picture of my corgi card.

With regards to the unvented cylinder i would assume that the cylinder has not got a expansion bubble that hasnt lost its charge.
I assume the discharge is coming from the temperature and pressure relief valve so i would say a defective or incorrectly set pressure reducing valve is at fault.

I have a question for you, under the new tightness test regulations a domestic operative is within scope to work on a u16 meter with pipework no bigger than 35mm or 1 1/4" providing the total installation volume is less than what???

 

[Biggles..]

Now i think most will say less than 1 cubic metre but if memory serves me right whch generally it doesnt the figure for gas volume where central heating is involved is about 0.14 cubic metres. Not read IGE/UP/1 lately but its in there.

 

[GforceJames]

Nope, i'll let it run see if Tony gets the right anwser.

The specific scope it comes under is ige/up/1b edition 2:2006

James

 

[Biggles..]

This was recently asked by BPEC in their commercial re-qual papers, like i said its not the 1 cube like everyone expects but is a lot lower.

 

[GforceJames]

It is a lot lower than 1 cubic metre and lower than 0.14. Any thing between this figure i'm asking for and 1 cubic meter comes under 1a and anything over 1 cubic metre comes under 1.

If I came across a U16 meter I would run and hand over to my commercial rated mate

Hands up, I aint got a clue about anything over G4/U6
