Baxi 800 Installation Tutorial | How To Fit | Baxi Approved Engineer

[@SalimKhan-gk1fh]

Another nice neat installation waseem That’s a good job!! I like your nice neat soldering work! I won’t use pressfit, I also like that you use silicon grease it makes it for easier future work , people don’t use grease On the flu elbow sockets ,they push them in dry and it folds over the O-ring seals creating leaks ,it only takes a second to rub your finger around the joints with grease. I normally use a magnetic scale reducer on the cold inlet.

[@PlumbingDoctors]

I don't use press fit tools and never used it before but maybe in the future as there are benefits to it. I use silicone grease on all rubber parts as like you said it will crack or leak in the future of you leave dry. I used to fit scale reducers in hard water areas but I'm not confident that they even do much so i prefer to fit the large water softener devices with properties with hard water

[@stepicko7205]

Why have you put an iso valve on before the boiler iso valve

[@frundlemud]

As a retired plumber it is nice to see you youngsters doing a neat job.

[@vandersarlok]

What a excellent viedo even after two years! Simple and clear steps make it easy to understand, really appreciate for sharing your good work!

[@omugz9444]

This is my favourite boiler, i feel the designers at baxi really gave installers and breakdown engineers what we wanted. I just wish they gave a little more room to the left side of the wiring connections, some of us have fat fingers but i also dont like having to strip away excess cable sheathing (white flex), the worry is sometimes when lifting the panel up if i might catch the wires... i am sure i am not the only installer who has thought this....

[@PlumbingDoctors]

luckily for me i have long thin fingers and never had an issue 😀

Yes the mk2 unit is really good I just wish they offered a faster flow for larger properties with high demand 15 litres is only good for single bathrooms and kitchen use , maybe a store combi baxi would be a great add on to the 800 only

[@johnabiodun5540]

Nice video mate. Just watched this then fitted the same boiler. I had a bit of a mare with the filling link. Next time I would definitely attach the filling link before piping up the cold and the return.

Hi waseem great video like the baxi 800 and vaillant ecotec combi boilers which do you like the best

[@PlumbingDoctors]

Ecotec are better boilers imo

[@salam238]

Great video, specially putting the measuring tap under the 'falling' parts while soldering 😆..

[@PlumbingDoctors]

[@peterreid4567]

Quick question you solder some fittings at the bottom then the top very odd ,also drain off on flow would be good and perhaps filter under boiler would look better on the return

[@mshaukat9887]

Its very helpful video but i have a question about condensate pipe, the regulation say condensate pipe should be rigid?

[@PlumbingDoctors]

I believe so ask manufacturers

[@davidtrump8888]

Did you prime the condensate trap ?

[@PlumbingDoctors]

Nope but you should do it according to manufacturers instructions

[@MrCobraRam]

Good on you for fitting that drain off, however I wouldn’t fit a ballofix on the inlet unless it’s a full bore valve due to the 10mm restriction.

[@PlumbingDoctors]

Yep i get you but its all we had at the time

[@nasir_glasgow5274]

superb video , will make sure my installer follows these steps also purchased silicone grease and thread compound paste , can you advise is it good idea to add additional expansion vessel -have 3 bedroom old tenement flat if so what size 9litres) would you recommend salam

Hello Waseem thank you for an informative video - may I ask what residue did you put on the pipes at 12:02?

[@PlumbingDoctors]

That is pipe jointing compound - i use v2 jet lube

[@peterfido8735]

Does the fitting template give you an option to mark the wall if you wish to have the horizontal flue exiting the wall to either the left and right not just the rear or is it a case of having to measure and mark the wall yourself?

[@PlumbingDoctors]

On the template there is a centre line in the middle of flue which you can use to manually draw a straight line to either left or right to figure out the centre

[@peterfido8735]

@@PlumbingDoctors thank you 👍

[@suheilhanna873]

Hi, I'm still doing my course, my question is return pipe comes from up, so did you have to change the arrow direction of the magnetic filter from up to down please? And why do you fit isolation valve on the cold feed to the boiler as it already have one on the boiler? Thanks and very appreciate your work

[@PlumbingDoctors]

The filter can go any way round and i fitted the iso as the pipe had water inside

[@simoncarpenter9119]

That was a top video 👍 I especially like the little trick with the tape measures I have never thought of that 😂 cheers.

[@PlumbingDoctors]

Thanks mate... every day is a school day! 😉 Once you start using the tape you will never stop ✌

[@jsmid]

Nice video 👍🏾just wondering how come you put that isolation valve on the cold?

[@PlumbingDoctors]

The pipe had water in it so i couldn't solder and its also can be used for future maintenance if water needs to be isolated.

How do you set the boiler to come on at certain times ? I’ve got this isntalled an thermostat on the wall but I’ve got nothing in terms of the time I want it to come on or go off I didn’t see you install one either ? Thanks

Great video! One question.. We need to replace a worcester and will be going for the Baxi 600 series. The worcester flue is 80/125 and the baxi is 60/100, so could we still use the 80/125 and just use an adapter ontop of the Baxi flue to increase it tfrom 60/100 to 80/125? Cheers

[@davidhenderson9893]

Great video, so do you just use that V2 stuff for the compression parts when piping up the boiler? Which pipes have a washer? Is it just the return and cold feed filling loop part?

[@PlumbingDoctors]

All pipes have fibre washers on the connection with the boiler but i only use the V2 (Jointing Compound) on the olives on hot and cold pipes as I've had them leak a few times but since using the compound never had a leak! Hope that helps you 👍🏻

Hi how to turn off fully...pls

[@PlumbingDoctors]

Turn it off from the Fused Spur Switch

[@bikeman123]

My Baxi 800 cycles on and off every 3 minutes while heating up to the roomstat temp. Switching the pump between the 3 speeds makes little difference. Likewise changing the flow temp made no difference, left it at 55 degrees. Why is it turning on and off so frequently and why is it on 50% of the time? It's no cheaper to run than my old boiler. I have a well insulated modern 3 bed semi.

[@Flexiblood]

lol good install! you ever tried putting the flue in like that on your own? drives me insane haha! i end up making the hole a bit bigger and building the flue first and fitting it from the inside. nice neat job mate :D

U got to have skill to do it on your own ;) your method is the easiest but there is another method ive heard of.. Some engineers use the white straps which you cut off from the boiler box and use it to pull the flue into the elbow... What boilers do you fit?
