obsolete parts

[patsmotors]

well your fuse could have gone to safety if moisture was dripping from the flue into an electrical area.but a repair could have been done and then a test to see if carbon monoxide or an unusual flue gas ratio was present.

so far we have not seen a written report from repair agent.

All he wrote on the job sheet is hole in flue behind boiler

the gc number you gave i believe is in correct.

if the boiler is a balmoral 45 f then all the flue parts are still available via part center

Patsmotors - what are you one about?

 

[ruthxxx]

That is the number BG gave me, I have tried Part Centre and no joy but thanks anyway

Patsmotors, i work for the company you seem to have a hatred for and have done for 13 years,we dont go deliberatly making holes in flues, if the flue was corroded, then it would have been the engineers duty of care to check it, what would you have done left it to become unsafe?,i say well done to the engineer for being thorough. And to the origanal poster if your boiler has obsolete parts then it's time to replace it, you can't weld flues or do any adhoc repairs to it.

The flue parts are listed as specials - so you have no chance.

ok out of the RGIs reading this on here, how many would take on a replacement flue job on this boiler? bearing in mind its a rear flue so boiler off wall?

And you wouldn't catch me doing a flue swap on one of these.
