Nice service Pete!! It definitely needed it! 👍👍 With so many different makes/models of boilers, different ways of servicing and getting them into high/low fire. It's not surprising we miss things. With boilers you know it's fine, but when you come to a boiler you do not know, looking for the manual, downloading it, spending the time to read it seems to be offset by the time factor and the price you can charge. Then do you dare check to see if PRV opens and its not stuck or clean the filter out only to find it now will not seal 🙃😒 Oh the fun 😂😂

[@normanboyes4983]

Andy if you are not familiar with the boiler and do not think it is worth investing your time reading the manual so that you can do the job competently - then refuse the work.

Anytime big al. More to come........😀

The service made me giggle. Just had a nightmare week with an Ideal Mexico 4 pipe boiler pumping over, had 4 days on it, power flushed re piped it to an s Plan replaced a couple of blocked rads and finally success, any of you older boys remember these. They were originally piped on the return.

[@AllenHart999]

I have worked on loads over the years. Nice to see all the sludge coming out.

[@frankholehouse1393]

That's what I call a proper service

[@normanboyes4983]

Good stuff.😀👍

[@kevind7150]

Forgot the air intake bracket! Removing the electrodes from the door. Will no doubt damage the gasket. I leave the electrodes on the door, and clean them in situ. the older gaskets were made of fibreglass. They always fragment. Forget the newton meters ( mechanics feel ) Thanks for sharing👍

[@rayc1503]

Most giannoni heat exchanges will be between 6-9 Newton meters. You need yourself an extension for the Abarcs brush and lastly clean out the condense trap after you've brushed and cleaned the heat exchanger. Fill the condense trap with water to prevent and POCS passing through.

Thanks for the comments mate👍🏻

respect as always

Nice one men top youtube channel Allen

[@YoutubeHero666]

So going through the service as per MI's and then skip the torque wrench they are not expensive and it's done correctly then. Just makes sense to me to set them correctly. Never the less you definitely a good engineer so many will never do a quarter of that.

[@davelaye7003]

i like pete, seems a good laugh

[@TheDickPuller]

Always file the electrodes Pete, a wire brush is farting at thunder mate. Otherwise, good job. Cheers Allen👍

[@plumbertales8772]

[@neilgriffiths3042]

have presume you will put hair felt or similar under the pipes notched in the joists to reduce the risk of expansion/contraction Noises (ticking) ??? (

[@neilgriffiths3042]

Should have read I presume !! (Damn predictive text)

Type in heat exchanger cleaning brush Comes straight up mate

[@brownie3676]

Just out of curiosity do any of you guys use a torque wrench on boilers? I personally don’t. Many thanks.

[@therworld6875]

torques are better in tighting screws for he main , as they snap if over tight. torques set to 6.2 nm job’s godden👍🏽

[@YoutubeHero666]

Yes always pick one up on Amazon £45 or even cheaper. The question is why would your not set them correctly to the MI's ???

[@SuperWayneyb]

👍🤓👍

[@charliewillis8527]
