replacement valve

[baxi 198]

hi there

can a gas valve be replaced on a baxi bermuda boiler with a valve of a similar spec or does this contravene British Gas regulations. the valve is a new spec called ZEVS15 slow opening valve made by Banico Manchester.( which is not available to the public yet) to replace a stevens valve which is normally closed. 120va 1/2 in fittings.

Are you CORGI registered?

If so then you should be posting this in the combustion Chamber.

If not then no one should be advising you about a gas carying part!

If a Corgi Registered Installer was to install a replacement part that was not the specified part would it be contravening British Gas regulations

I reckon if its a part not tested & approved for use by the manufacturers it would contravene gas regs.

Start by replacing the thermocouple - that's the most common failure point. Add some inhibitor to the system to be on the safe side - look for an old carton or bottle in the loft to see which inhibitor was last used and use the same one.
As long it's not ketteling and all the radiators are heating up, should be ok.

Is it me, or are you just being picky
