I'm working through your videos and you are an absolute legend Allen, personally i would love to get in to the trade and currently looking at different options, not a young lad anymore ...but i do believe you are only as good as your teacher. Being an apprentice with someone like yourself would be perfect.
Well that shield over the flue takes me back ,we used to do that where the rain was getting into the flue .The cement is a fiver at tool station but only three on Amazon according to the initial advertisement which is not always the true cost .Cheers.
Another great video ,I’m not a trainee but I am sure you help so many trainees and also ppl fully qualified in the trade with these videos and information , it’s such a good thing to do Ps up the 👻 😜
Thanks Allen, I'm doing my gas course this year. Still need to get it booked in May. I have a gas engineer friend who I'll be doing my portfolio with. Looking forward to it.
Lgsr faults let's have go then! 1. I think the ecv is right falling to the off position. 2. The gas should be clipped with munsen rings or possible even tallon hinged clips? 3. Not sleeved through the wall and the damged cable going through is touching the pipe, needs to be 25mm away. And possibly the gas meters to close to to the fuse board? Can only have a go as a keen apprentice so don't be to hard on me 😄👍
Not sure if this was included in your comprehensive list, the main gas incoming has been lifted out of its bracket and put to the right of it, possible to clear the electric meter.
The F75 pressure sensor fault is usually easy enough to clean out rather than replace if the boiler is newish. Also the cement is only good for one use as it goes hard after a week if even you had a good reseal.
@@AllenHart999 Had crystal clear systems when drained and a magna clean fitted and still those pressure sensors get blocked up with debris. Think it's a poor design or positioning of the sensor itself. Most of the time it’s easy to clean out with a toothpick and some clean water however I carry these as van stock just in case:)
@@AllenHart999 You can guarantee the pressure switch will find the one speck of dirt in the system to get blocked up. Just wish your man had showed how to replace or clean them out as it’s super easy with the side panel off but not so if the left hand side of the boiler is up against a wall or unit.
The only part to be named after the fault code 🤣. Elliott I thought you was very brave to activate the prv. Very brave. One thing I would never touch just incase it dosnt reseat. But on the moist part it's as bad as my pump flaps 🤣🤣👍. I dooo love your videos though. And I do love you put dates on stuff too just like me.
Oh and how it comes at you🤣🤣🤣🤣 missed that bit... I'm doing one on pipework soon... would love to get you on one of my sites just like I did with Allan.
Not even an apprentice yet but, The clips, the ecv (idk ecv looks like its lever falling and turning it off), the wire through the wall that isn't sleeved (at least 25mm away). Oh and there should be 150mm between gas meter and consumer unit unless there is fire protection...
👍 Good video. LGSR faults = Gas pipes not correctly bracketed, electrical cables (effectively single insulation and highly likely to be damaged - risk of direct short to ground)) passing through brickwork alongside gas pipe.
Can you reuse that cement if you nozzle it off or is it finished once opened. Thanks for the video Allen , Elliot , Rick... 👏👏👏. Vans nice by the way 👍
Easier way of testing the sensor is to put the boiler into P.00 purge cycle and you should see a pressure differential of 0.3 bar proving if the sensor is blocked or not. Could also be the pump, but 99% of the time it's the sensor in my experience.
Or expansion vessel !!! You can just look at the internal gauge and the digital and spot the discrepancy easily. I’ve cleaned out a few and they’ve worked fine, still had a slight variation. boiler on 0 digital reading .2 but close enough to function properly
@@plumbertime Yes, that as well, but then with some models you'd have to pop the case to see the mechanical gauge and some models don't have a mechanical gauge. Don't want to have to go through 26.9 for a top-up, if I can help it.
Allen Hart ok , have a magna clean and lime beater was only replaced 13 months ago. Least Elliot showed some tests to be aware of but really the updated kit should be fitted much less prone to this issue.
It’s a good design. Means your boiler doesn’t dry run forever until the overheat or flow stat kicks in. Clean your system or buy a few more sensors now as you’ll need them
Plumber Time fair enough system is clean their revised design is better but they don’t fit that surprise surprise , good in principle but such a nuisance fault
Please send me your videos WhatsApp 07725 692699 Thanks.

Old water heaters had them a lot 😂👍👍👍
once more a Great video Allen
Some amazing videos sent in this time. Thanks.
Great video, it’s always nice to see in side sum ones van, it’s like looking through the keyhole, 👍🤙👍🤙
Thank You

Elliots videos are amazing. Thanks for all your support.
Legend really helpful videos newly gas registered and all your videos have helped thanks 👍
Well done Rick, I also have Bott system and I love it. As always Allen great video
Thank You.
Another great video guys. Great entertainment for while I can't work! Also helping with my very limited breakdown knowledge.
Thank you for your support.
Another quality video. Thanks
Love your videos
Thank You mum.
As always mate doing a proper job!
Much appreciated
Thanks Allen,
I'm doing my gas course this year. Still need to get it booked in May. I have a gas engineer friend who I'll be doing my portfolio with. Looking forward to it.
Good luck. Let me know if you need anything to help you.
Great vid Allen and all who shared vids. The express cement is at wickets for £4.95 then trade discount on top
Thank You

Do you find its the systems that need cleaning? Thanks.

@@MrJamesdavies085 Interesting, I was always told it was dirt from the system. Thanks.

That’s answered my question about the cement 👍 think I will use this when I get chance to.
express cement - cool idea! 👍🖐
If Elliot reads this the cement is on Amazon for about £2.60 a tube in grey or ssand colour. I use it all the time on flues 👍🏻
Thank You. I might order some of that.

You are learning really well already. Well done.
👍 Good video. LGSR faults = Gas pipes not correctly bracketed, electrical cables (effectively single insulation and highly likely to be damaged - risk of direct short to ground)) passing through brickwork alongside gas pipe.
Hi Norman. some great answers. Thanks.
Always find that express cement still need to use yer or trowel never seems to stick very well. Keeps falling out unless you use yer finger🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
Love your vlogs the Phil Mitchell of Leeds lol
Thank You
Hi Alan!good video!Can you make a video for draining down and recharging external expansion vessel on tank system and Megaflow system.thanks
Vaillant f75 is a very common fault on my boiler after changing the expansion tank its been ok as the sensor had bits rubber in it
is it the rubber or just dirt in the system. Thanks
Can you reuse that cement if you nozzle it off or is it finished once opened.
Thanks for the video Allen , Elliot , Rick...
👏👏👏. Vans nice by the way 👍
Nice one allen, keep on babbling.....
Hi my Ecofit pure bar if full what can I do please?
Is that 1st video nick Knowles for the big build?
What do you mean? Thanks.
@@AllenHart999 sorry nick Knowles for DIY sos. The voice...
Bad joke. Nothing to do with video mate was very helpful 👍
Could you do a video on a plate heat exchanger separating the boiler to the HTG/hotwater system, still a grey area for me. Thanks
How much was the van racking
I think Rick said it was around £2000. Hopefully he will correct me if i am wrong.
The racking was 2 grand, the big drawers and flooring were extra probs about £2700 all in
Toolstation sell the cement in a tube for around £5
👍👍
Thank You.

The cement I believe its £3 on amazon
Hi Sam. Really? Do you have a link. Thanks.
🤘🤓🤘
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lgsr fault number 1. Nail on clips not allowed on gas 👍🏻
Anything else?
@@AllenHart999 lots but thought I'd leave some for others to spot 👍🏻
@DB PLUMBING & HEATING Thanks.
On worcester we can use exponsion foam 😁😁
How funny the timing of this video just had an F75 for 2nd time such a stupid design but cheap enough to replace I guess.
Whats the system water like? Thanks.
Allen Hart ok , have a magna clean and lime beater was only replaced 13 months ago. Least Elliot showed some tests to be aware of but really the updated kit should be fitted much less prone to this issue.
@@user-te1le7ck6b It will definitely go faulty again if system is dirty. Thanks.
