That’s one of the best step by step guides I’ve seen anyone make. The attention to detail with the auto air valve shows how thoroughly you do your job. We’ll done

[@PlumbingDoctors]

Thanks 👍🏽👍🏽

[@guerillacity]

Thank you so much! Your video was incredibly detailed and made the process of changing the diverter valve on my Vaillant Ecotec Plus 837 so easy to follow. I couldn't have done it without your step-by-step guidance. Truly appreciate your effort and the clear explanations!

[@PlumbingDoctors]

You're welcome!

Thank you so much. Hot water restored on daughter's birthday!

[@robertopirotta1018]

Waseem I must tell you this: THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!! This video has been the difference between a frutrating dripping Vaillant boiler, and a successful fixing operation! I have a Vaillant EcoBlock 236 boiler and, even if it is not the same model in your video, your instructions are so precise that I was able to fix it with the same smooth mood you have in your video! Thank you again for this! I've also clean the AAV as you wisely suggest! About the AAV I would add the following small advice: don't worry if the small spring get off the pin while washing - just keep on cleaning carefully, then reassemble the two pieces by twisting the spring onto the thread on the pin. I got scared when they separated while washing, I didn't expected that, and I was afraid not to have spare parts around, being Sunday! Well, at the end everything seems running correctly! Great video and great feeling! Greetings and Ciao! from Italy

[@PlumbingDoctors]

Thanks for the feedback and advice!!

[@Matthew-jn7ss]

Very informative video mate I’ve got my first diverter valve on a Vaillant to change tomorrow and I feel a lot more confident about it thanks to you. One thing I would say is it might be worth stating that you must be gas safe registered to take the case off a gas boiler as there are a few guys in the comments who clearly aren’t and have carried this job out.

[@PlumbingDoctors]

👍👍 most wont listen anyway

Thanks for watching!

[@stuartrawlings332]

Hey, great looking video, my Vaillant 838 pressure has been going up about a bar a day now for a week, was beginning to think about what to do with it... being a slightly less qualified plumber - eg, not gas registered - I generally stayed away from opening a boiler up, but seeing this video, I think I owe it to myself.... and wife for Xmas pressies!! to try repressurising the vessel first, looks pretty straight forward, and not touching any gas components. A job for Friday afternoon... I'll be watching this video a few times more before then! Thanks for the help!

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

i'm not saying you shouldn't, but technically you're not supposed to take the cover off the boiler because it is a room sealed appliance.

Great vid. AAV's don't get enough love on a service 👌. Interesting place for a radiator, I'm guessing to dry clothes and towels?

Yep most people overlook the AAV's but its good practice to give them a good clean 👍🏻.. I did not ask the customer about the radiator but i think its used to dry clothes.. great idea on my opinion 👌

@@PlumbingDoctors Saint-Petersburg, Russia

[@PlumbingDoctors]

Oh nice... is there much difference in the plumbing?

[@foxsol1d]

@@PlumbingDoctors we got less copper used as material of pipes. Only if you are rich enough 😁. Most of the systems are made with polypropylene. And most of the boilers are non condens. It's because of price and lack of good engineers outside Moscow and Saint-Petersburg. Also green ideas are not shared by the customers and the government so there are still some people who respect and choose those big floor-standing cast iron boiler.

I have been watching your videos, very well explained, specially for beginners like me is very useful, you are basically filling the gap I think, there are lots of similar videos on KZbin but you have tried to clarify it targeting beginners, thank you very much, from your videos I am 100% sure that your first priority is to help new guys, thank you very much taking time to do this. I got some request for you for future videos. 1. When you install new boiler can closely and in detail explain about flue installation referring to the Manufacturer Instructions, l know you have done briefly before, but please expand it bit more. 2. Can you also explain what short of screws you use for different types of walls, like for plaster board, brick wall etc, bit of explanation. 3. Can you please do video now and then answering people's questions, if you do this please make a short video so that we can send questions on the comment section. Thank you very much.
