Read the thread again snes, the op asked a question, was given good advice and reassurance and was totally happy....then the problem solver stepped in, causing a problem where there was none. Gives him something to do I suppose.
Problem after boiler service

None of us have any issue with the OP. It's the arrogant sanctimonious clap trap from someone with no business giving advice on things he isn't qualified to advise on that annoyed us.
You are strongly implying that while it is dangerous for a DIYer to tamper with the room seal just in case he or she leaves the room seal leaking fumes into the room it is acceptable for one of your RGI clan to leave a boiler with the room seal leaking fumes into the room.
Double standards. DIYer maust not be allowed to touch it but RGI can leave it off without any criticism.
Of course the fitter didn't intend to leave the cap off the sample port but he did. And the fault was spotted by some who is not a member of your RGI clan.
Comment from a GasSafe engineer this morning. "If my apprentice left a cap off he would get a right telling off. Where possible we sample at the terminal and not the port." He mentioned why they prefer to sample at the terminal. I guess I don't need to tell you the reason.

Yep - guilty as charged! Too lazy to refer back, and I was caught out.....
But, hey!, cut Bernard some slack - he does have a point.
Bernard - Agile posted the wrong name, it was WaterSystems he suggested you might be. If you manage to dig up some of his past posts on here, you will see why he was so disliked.

This tickled me, Ive been know to drive away from a boiler service, only to return an hour later as I cant remember putting the sampling point back.
The annoying thing is, its always fitted, I just cant remember doing it

I mentioned this earlier, we do things without thinking as we have done them so many times but something breaks up our train of thought routine, like a customer asking something or a phone call.This tickled me, Ive been know to drive away from a boiler service, only to return an hour later as I cant remember putting the sampling point back.

We then leave the job but doubt ourselves on the routine way of working.

No one has said it's acceptable to leave the sample point open.
What has been said it **** happens put it back on and call him to come and re check/ test everything is ok.
I suppose you'd rather he was hung in the town square?

On a gibbet on the entrance to town
Like this last lot of RGIs that left out test points.
Nah - that's where group Service keep their engineers overnight. They get dropped into their vans at 8am to go and change crappy Gianoni HEX's, then winched out at 6pm after they've been fed grilled Bunny for dinner .
.
when the FGA is on the boiler ( magnetic ) place the cap on top of the FGA , if you forget to replace the cap the cap will drop when removing the FGA from the boiler , plus you know where you put it .
