You are building a quality channel Chris keep up the good work mate 👍

[@snapgas9832]

Thanks mick, I’m trying mate

[@CommercialGasEngineerVideos]

Well said, totally agree. It's a good one

[@sheriefgerges7789]

Lovely video, about worcester hot water heatexchnger is the hot water pipe fitted by olive or washer at the back . Thank you

[@snapgas9832]

Hi mate it’s just with a nut and olive, as far as I’m aware most boilers will be similar connection

[@train4905]

Exellent job sir,well done,

[@snapgas9832]

Great vid bud! Tenants late so waiting in the van watching your vid😂. Keep it up the content is very helpful.👍

[@snapgas9832]

Haha wicked mate glad I can fill the gap in between! Nice 1 for watching

[@aliatas6647]

Great vid mate. Thanks for sharing 😁

[@snapgas9832]

Thanks ali

For the future when your changing your plate exchangers , you will make life a lot easier by removing the condense trap , remove diverter valve motor and push lever up and down to clear water held in main exchanger and pump manifold , then instead of moving hot water pipe out of the way simply cut it through 12 inches below boiler then you can fit a straight compression coupler on it which if it has to be removed in the future it’s there ready for you or another engineer to use and get pipe out really quickly . Hope this helps you out for next time ok 👍

Cheers frankie, all tips are welcomed so thank you for these

@@snapgas9832 The bearing plate usually gets sticky. One of the Worcester trainers told me to clean/dry then rub a graphite pencil around the points where it makes contact with the plastics. Alternatively you can clean an use a little talc 😜. Excellent vlog Chris, keep them coming buddy. 👍

[@plumbertime]

Just put it in service mode then turn the power off and it’ll be in mid posistion

[@davidosborne6482]

Great content👍 need a video on how you change a greenstar prv, tricky bugger😅😅

[@snapgas9832]

Will most definitely do that mate

[@mendyourhome]

Don't service zone valves mate, not worth it. British gas used to teach this and they've stopped this too . Majority come back.

[@snapgas9832]

I like your videos mate

[@mendyourhome]

thanks buddy, wish i had time to do more lol i've subbed

[@plumberdan5720]

Great video, I remember the first time I recharged a mega flow I isolated it and opened the hot tap downstairs and the thing started popping and banging 😀

[@snapgas9832]

Cheers mate! Yeah it’s a bit unnerving when you first do it Soon get used to it and it’s an easy repair which I like 😂

[@brendanwilkes5333]

The gas rate is the biggy on that Greenstar CDi. If it’s down then you’ll know the heat ex is blocked/restricted. I’ve had Worcester’s pass their fan pressure test but then the gas rate has been down. I’d just bite the bullet and change the heat ex, no point wasting your time trying to get that heat ex back. I’d be ordering the fan bearing plate too, as no doubt that’s in a poor state and has probably sheared off 👍

[@snapgas9832]

Lovely cheers mate! I’ve got it ordered for the morning so I’ll just stick that in I do agree that it’s a waste of time trying to clean it so I won’t bother I don’t think I’ll just smash it in! Lol Thanks for your advice mate always welcomed

[@pb9926]

Great content mate as always 👍

[@snapgas9832]

Cheers pb thanks for watching and commenting as always great supporter 👌

[@paulrossiter9567]

Great intel once again Chris…your a busy man lol I done some BG service and breakdown work 12+ jobs a day no heating or hot water …done me after 7months 😂

[@snapgas9832]

It’s tough to keep momentum up, I find by the end of the week I’m done, my brain is fried and need a day to rest

Some good videos fella. But I can’t hardly hear you sometimes lol you need a microphone 🤙🏻

[@Stu_Gilbert]

Nice video mate, nice to see how you do the plate 👍. Looking forward to the heat exchanger tomorrow 👍

[@snapgas9832]

Hope it gives you a few tips for your next plate haha I’ll film it mate be a good 1

[@Stu_Gilbert]

@@snapgas9832 I need Tips mate been put on breakdowns now so got to learn fast lol 😂

[@jezlucas3878]

I used to clean them.just replace now

[@hali5341]

No point spending 45 minutes trying to clean the main heat exchanger and then to replace it. If cleaning take you 10 mins then yh but I highly doubt it. What I would off done is tried cleaning it, if it take longer then 20 I'm coming back tomorrow with main heat exchanger.

[@hali5341]

So far I have maybe successful passed one heat exchanger by cleaning it the CDI heat exchanger, only by using plaster board saw and, Worcester kit is rubbish never works in real life senirio maybe in class room environment. Use plaster board saw in the fins, and wash it out above and Infront. Check bearing plate aswell.

[@heatpump8566]

Think you’ll get a recall on that last wb job bud 👍 primary not hot enough. Did you gas rate it to prove it was working right

[@snapgas9832]

I didn’t gas rate it mate, but I didn’t see anything wrong personally but if I do mate it will be on a video for sure

[@heatpump8566]

@@snapgas9832 definitely not a criticism pal. Just think he’s not getting correct temps at the tap with that primary. Wish I could bell you but won’t put my no on here 😂😂😂
