Day in my life as a plumber 54. Vaillant Flue issues. Rusty Flues.

- Quick video. Customer decided that she wanted a new boiler. Having quoted to replace, on attendance we found what you will see. Although the boiler was functioning I knew there had been lots of issues. New filling loop spotted, new spiro filter, multiple leaks and case internal perished. Ordinarily I would have repaired but with no warranty the benefits are clear for her. 10 year warranty. And a local service company to deal with.
Good to see you back.
Was here last week 😂🤣😂
Just bought myself the milwaukee compressor, good bit of kit. It amazes me when I go to do a boiler service and the amount of customers that say, well the last engineer didn't do all this and that, crazy to think people are working on a gas appliance and the risks they are willing to take to get the job done quick. Anyway Doc, your slowing down on the video's, what's going on? Appreciate its crazy busy for everyone at the moment. No idea why I even want to watch videos on plumbing when I do it myself lol 🤷♂️🤣🤣
See what I can do 😎😎
Cheers Doc, another good video. Beggers belief, so easy to chamfer the pipe and yet people can't be bothered 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Cheers bud
Hey mate
Great video again 👍
The contract I work on we have lots of vaillant boilers , your right about the installers accidentally drilling into the plastic flue it has caused lots of issues !!
Also the packing washer in the flue turret fails quite often , giving readings on the air intake 👍
First comment and might help others 😎
Thanks buddy. “ Packing washer” you mean the sponge type one on the turret or the flue seal on the hex to turret ? 🙏 the hex one is going bcos of Hi temps set 💯
@@drpipe yes mate the one that the flue sits into
Part no 981227
It might help engineers who possibly think a flue seal has gone but in fact it’s just the packing ring
As I say hope this helps 👍
If that goes it’s only sucking fresh air in would effect Co but def not Room sealed no more 🙏
We have loads of pro 28s on our contract and the issue with the failed packing ring seal is very common, we have our engineers check the air intake readings on every one now especially longer flues
Should be done on every boiler where you can anyway
We have a lot pros etc in our area aswell suppose it's just cause that many . Never changed so many heat exchangers flue seals diverted valves pressure sensors PC in ma life.wb seals fit the inner on them.
And AAV 🤣
Christ on a bike. That’s some boxing in for the flue. How do you inspect the joints. Is it open at the top. Great vid dr p
No lid on it mate 💯👍🙏🙏 just one in one out .
Great video and you are right in all that you say but there's no way that flue had s 3-4 Deg fall.
Love your videos but have you put more on the last one is 3 months old
Xmas next
Dr pipe it’s when the boss says yeah just put the New boiler in and reuse the existing flue 😂😆🙄 BTW have you got a link for somewhere to order those flue screws you use? Cheers for the video mate!

The audio was particularly bad on most of this one Doc pipe. With the visual I got the jist of it. Maybe a try doing a voiceover whilst editing on the next one. Thanks for sharing 👍.
Just had a listen sounds Great to me.. try turning up your Hearing Aid 😂🤣 Only joking mate.. no time for voice overs .. 🙏👍
Sounds good to me too.. sorry Ray.
@@macpatel7810 In that case maybe I do need to get my hearing checked then 🙉🤣. Probably too much core drilling without ear guards.
@@rayc1503 I hear you bro. 🙄😄
