I’m just about to attempt my first install next week - still in training but sitting my ACS in a few weeks. This video has helped me massively. I appreciate your honesty in talking about small mistakes and how you rectify. Great video bro 👏

[@rickd6421]

Great video as always. I think your videos stand out from other gas engineer videos because you film every step and show the full procedure and explain what you are doing which is brilliant. Thanks for sharing and look forward to many more videos in 2023 :)

I just had the same Boiler fitted (sept 2023) and I can say for a fact his soldering skills were crap, didan't wipe off excess flux so solder running down pipes looks a mess. Well done to you, great job.

I usually get the valves on the 2000 boiler before I hang it. Found it hard to get my spanner in to tighten them up when I had hung the boiler before fitting the valves. They’re too close together on this boiler

[@dan2071]

How did you get around the Flue clearances? Instructions say: [10] Above, below and either side of an opening door, air vent or opening window. Using a Plume Management kit the air intake measurement can be reduced to 150mm providing the flue exhaust outlet has a 300mm clearance.

[@issajuma5401]

Great video, very well explained. 😊

[@ManusDeiHeating-ge8iv]

You can actually bend the condensate pipe with the pipe bender

[@IbrahimAliSapnin]

Awesome vid 👏, only thing I might have done differently is ignore the push fit coupler Worcester gave and gone for a compression straight instead.

[@advancedboilertraining]

Yeah the push fit is quite bulky 🤧

[@Connor-ts8mk]

Mate fair play did most of that one handed😂 great video. Do you ever fit the valves before tou hang the boiler on the wall? Can sit it flat on its back and connect them then hang it on the bracket

[@muhammadsattar4888]

Great video thanks

[@deanmais886]

I haven’t used press fitting yet still old school 😂😂 but I would still clean the paint off the pipes because it will be an uneven surface especially on the gas pipe👍👍

[@advancedboilertraining]

Yeah when I first transitioned from soldering to press I would clean the pipes every time but then over time I’ve fell into bad habits 😩😂 never had an issue pressing on to non-prepped pipes though 🤞

How do you fill a Worcester boiler green star 24i/ 28i junior 0:26

[@thesydmc]

Well done.

[@ivecamperbuild_thomas4084]

Hi have you fitted bosch Greenstar 2000 with a wireless easy control which comes with a wall mount and a table mount the table mount is pre wired with a plug to be plug into a 13amp socket and the wall plate as a plug with 2 wires that screw in the wall plate I have been told that the wall mount has to be wired to the boiler if that is the case how dose the desk mount work .what I would like to know is which way is the proper way many thanks hope you have a great new year 🎉

[@sarahokoye-eni9633]

Can you show us how to open the boiler cover

[@sunilchampaneri3208]

Get some Makita marker pens, MAGIC

[@user-up9jg8yl8i]

That was an very good video, considering you used one hand all the way.

[@danielwi11iams]

is it standard to use tissue or cardboard around the flue to fill the gap. seem like a combustible material to use

[@MagicDoughnut]

You seal the flue to prevent the fumes from entering the property. Fumes are not flamable.

[@sheriefgerges7789]

I would like to ask what is the tape for what you used it around the flue , I don't do installation just i do repair . Thank you

[@advancedboilertraining]

It’s tape that Worcester give you for the flue. Because the flue is telescopic, you choose the length, put a screw in it and then put the tape around the screw

[@vanderpant2116]

At 3:15 if you couldn't loosen the nut what would you do .... Hacksaw it off ?

[@advancedboilertraining]

So it depends, if it’s a boiler repair and I need to loosen a nut and it was really stuck then the first thing I would do is use some penetrant WD40, and let it sit for a minute or two. Then try again with a longer spanner. If it’s the same situation as this video where I’m removing a boiler then I would just cut the copper pipe

[@Kiaboy60d]

Nice job.

[@kieranannear3372]

Cleaning system? Check water quality with sample . Add inhibitor ?

[@advancedboilertraining]

Yep all done. I do my flushing at the end whilst tidying/explaining everything to the customer and commissioning. Then leave inhibitor in the system

[@kevinschoales844]

How do you do your flushing? Varies so much from one installer to another.

[@ivecamperbuild_thomas4084]

Can you fit the wirelessWorcester Bosch easy control to it and do you have to wire it to the boiler or is it just plug in the socket

[@RD-ox3ce]

I had a Greenstar 2000 boiler with a Comfort 2 rf thermostat fitted two years ago. Thermostat told me boiler didn’t have adequate water in system so I filled it up and the heating and hot water worked fine. An hour later i turned down the heating on the thermostat but an hour later I noticed the radiators were still hot. I done a boiler reset and checked the batteries in the thermostat and the rf pairing seems ok. The thermostat says the heating is OFF but it isn’t . The only way I can put the heating on and off is at the main switch. Does anybody know what the problem could be ? Any help much appreciated 👍

[@amirgh3660]

thank u❤❤❤

[@chrisslade193]

Thanks, most appreciated. How long did the whole install take you?

[@urzyt7520]

Nice install. Do you need to flush the system when you fit a new boiler, or is it not always needed?

[@advancedboilertraining]

Yeah so at the end I do a hot flush and then put some inhibitor in. If people want to pay for a full thorough flush then I will do but these people just wanted a basic flush

[@urzyt7520]

@@advancedboilertraining Whats the difference between a full flush and, hot flush sorry?

[@advancedboilertraining]

@@urzyt7520with a hot flush you put chemical into the system, turn on the heating and let the chemical circulate through the system. Do each rad separately then drain it out. With a power flush you connect a big machine with magnets to catch all the sludge in the system as it circulates

[@advancedboilertraining]

Power flush is the better option but not every customer wants to pay for it

[@jonnyallen1232]

Yer putting loads of screws in may seem a great idea…. Don’t forget that’s possibly 1 brick your drilling all them holes in…. Drill too many holes in a brick and it will fall to bits

[@advancedboilertraining]

Yeah that’s also a possibility 😅

[@leetaaprayzaanio4751]

Hi, great video. Do you have any installer advance settings for the pump on these? I'm trying to get the pump to run on its maximum possible setting to allow a possible pressure Head Loss issue I've come across when installing new rads on a loft extension

[@flaviusvirlan3406]

Should be a parameter in the hidden menu, you usually find that in the technical documentation of the boiler.

How crappie is the prv pipe located. Comes with a push fit aswell lol

Well it is a Worcester 🤷‍♂️😂

@@advancedboilertraining yeah they've gone backwards

[@stevenjohnson6082]

id be more concerned about the diverter valve its right at the back behind the pump, on these budget Worcester 2000 every thing about them is cheap and nasty compared to the 4000

[@deanos102]

i have had a 4000 installed system boiler, looks similar, the filter is above the top right of the boiler, and i can hear water running through the filer when boiler is on , they came back out and bled the system but its doing it again shortly afterwards , any ideas ? Thanks !

[@advancedboilertraining]

Sometimes it can take a few times of bleeding to get rid of all the air in the system

[@effervescence5664]

If you can hear it coming through the magnetic filter I'd be checking depending on brand if it's piped the correct way/the internal Filter (Adey brand especially) is actually switched to the right direction. Otherwise it sounds like a little fan going around. The other thing that can do it is a pump speed being set too high causing cavitation if the flow around the system is restricted due to pipe work size.

[@deanos102]

@@effervescence5664 it's a Worcester mini filter , is changing the pump speed something I could do as it's I side the boiler , thanks

Brilliant video and very nice install. Only thing that has me wondering is the way the Hive Mini is wired in as far as I remember doesn't actually count as part p + compliant. You really have to be careful which controls you're fitting now because of it - such a pain in the arse.

Did you do a gas test before instal …also putting tissue in and around flue is not good idea.. also if the flue was 300 from the window you could just of cemented the air brick if it’s not required ..the condense doesn’t look good bent. I’ve seen some of these 2000 condense leak already.
