Has anyone seen it become an issue where a boilers condensate pipe. Is tee'd in to a 40mm waste pipe that also takes say a sink waste. And the waste pipe pulling the trap out of the boiler as the sink discharges?

We fit a few Vaillant Ecofit Pure system boilers, usually the case when an old Heat Only boiler goes and we replace with a system rather leaving OV, better all round solution. Ecofits are great as they're rear flues and fit in cupboards.
So when replacing we usually replace like for like in...
I'm after a boiler with a rear flue option for a replacement cupboard installation, i know the Vaillant Ecofit Pure and Gloworm equivalent but i've fitted one before and wasn't really happy paying a grand for what seems to be essentially the same as a £480 Heatline Capriz2 so was looking for...
It says in the manufactures instructions that a 24kw ideal boiler will work ok with a gas inlet pressure of 14mb or more. With a working pressure at the meter of 19-23mb this will be far greater than the allowed 1mb drop for the pipework. They allow 1.5mb drop for the gas valve too. If...
We heard about Intergas boilers from a family member who has just had one installed. The gas fitter he used raves about them saying how reliable they are. What are you forum members thoughts on them? . Only having 4 moving parts is appealing. The Rapid 32 model looks good value at around £700...
I have decided to go for the Version boiler when I get my system upgraded but I currently have a Glowworm 35 store which gives lashings off hot water which ilike, so I'm looking at the 111-w as its the same performance as the glow worm, I did initially go for the 100w button I was a bit...
Is there a "typical" interval for doing a powerflush?
Reason for asking is that it was mentioned on a recent visit by "ServeHome".
I couldn't swear to it, but I'm sure that when it was done previously I was told that I only needed it to be done once.

New Boiler...
can any of you knowledgable folks shed any light on the above mentioned boiler? I’ve never even heard of the brand. Im due to service one tomorrow so I’m trying to find a manual to no avail. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Good evening you marvellous lot!
So, i have a client that wants the Vaillant pure combi boiler (my go to rear flued boiler), with a Nest controller.
As far as I can tell, there is no easy way of making these 2 work easily together. The only way I can find is to use the following thingy...
Just heard on the news about the Uk's ambitious climate change targets, of which one of them was to scrap gas boilers by 2050.
On one hand its 30 years into the distant future but on the other there's still the question of system design, as I understand it new boilers, air source for example...
I know some boiler manufactors allow the flues air in-take to exit as close as 150mm to an opening in a building. As long as you put a plume kit to get the products of combustion at lest 300mm away from the opening. Does anyone know which manufacturers allow this? I usually fit Ideals but as far...
I have just taken out a vailliant ecotec plus which is 10yrs old and has nothing wrong with it. The guy had just moved in and wanted everything new. Seems a shame to give it the travellers.
Hi, just bought our first house which is a georgian tereace with 3 storeys + cellar & attic. It's about 70 sq m per floor, with the ground and basement both having a 20sq m rear extension.
We might turn it into flats in years to come, but for the next 6 years it will be our home. The question...

Morning all,
I rarely come across boilers for which i can not get spares. My region seems to be full of Pottertons and Worcesters.
I occasionally come across a boiler where there are no spares or they are hard to easily get hold of. Regardless of what British Gas or Homeserve say...
I thought...

Heat only = open vent boiler?
I suppose nothing stops me from sealing it up and sticking an expansion vessel to it? This is the same as a system boiler then? Is it cheaper then to buy a system boiler instead of...
hi,
thanks in advance for any help, advice and replies.
I am going to need a new boiler in the coming months for a property to be rented hopefully, I’ve got a plumber who can offer the long extended warranties on ideal boilers, and I have asked them same question, he said about 80% of boilers...
