Thank you Rob, well presented, easy to follow, with sensible practical advice. I only wish all of this information was on-line earlier! Much of this content is not in the Tigerloop instructions or anywhere else that I was able to find when replacing old [30yr old +] Tigerloop . I get a calibration service every 2 years and none of the engineers has ever commented on the service life of a Tigerloop, though I was suspicious as the plastic has been yellow for the last 20 years. Very grateful for this and your other videos. Experience counts.
Thanks for the lovely comment. Have a great weekend
Thank you. Helped me out.
No problem. Have a good weekend. Rob
Good video, I personally prefer the GOK units for new installations. Although more expensive, the savings in labour is well worth it! Plus combined secondary fuel filter and isolation valve!
With regards to plastic tigerloops I have hundreds of discoloured and cracked ones! One advises it be replaced, you quote for the works only for it to be declined! Then often as not, a couple of months later especially during winter, the unit fails and if it’s a very cold day the frost shatters the unit and oil is everywhere!
The joys of dealing with the public! Have a good weekend!
Customers are just the best! Have a good weekend! Rob
Excellent explanation Rob and Ryan 😊
Thanks for the lovely comment. Have a good weekend
Great info as always.@ 6:23 You mentioned good quality non return valves. What brands are you using? If the non return valve was beginning to let by i.e not sealing properly what signs would you be initially looking for. Thanks again.
Hi. I will let you know the make when i order one next as they have no writing on them!. If a non return is failing the boiler will not start first thing in the morning as the oil runs back down the line. Have a good weekend.
Excellent video Rob well explained especially on some of the regulations
Thanks for the comment and Happy Easter!
Another great video again Rob 👍
Thank you Chris. Very kind words. Have a good weekend!
Really good video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the lovely comment and have a great weekend.
Great vid lads, seems quite difficult to get your hands on a metal one at my stockists.
Hi. Its because they have come more popular! I get mine from ABGO in Wolverhampton so try them! Thanks as always and have a great weekend!
HI another great video Rob. This is Robert here you helped me out the other day reg a bentone burner, this is my wifes laptop so shes now subscribed as well. I had to go back out to that boiler again today and did what you told me to do ie new transformer and all i had was a 830 control box i took off a spare burner I had so I stuck that on. Just curious her capacitor is supposed to be 3 microfarads and hers measured 2.4. I had a 4 microfarad in the van could i have used that or would it damage the motor. I didnt put the 4 on so i just left the old one in it as i wasnt sure. Anyway her burner is firing like a dream now all thanks to you mate so i cant thank you enough. Just like to know if i could have stuck a 4 on or did I do the right thing by leaving it. strangely enough she had a clear plastic tiger loop and I agree with you about seeing the oil in it. Thanks again and take care.
Hi. I would not advise a 4 UF as it would work but may damage the motor eventually. Thanks for another sub and you are welcome. Have a good rest of your week!
Well done Rob, what about an explanation for pensioners moving to their first oil boiler house ?
Thanks for the comment. Maybe i will do a `New to oil' Vlog. Have a great Easter.
Great video Rob. Just one question and its about priming them. Is it necessary to do this with new ones and if you suspect a tiger loop is causing a breakdown issue is it worth trying to prime it to fix the issue or is it a waste of time?
Hi . I do tend to vent the oi line and prime a new one as it speeds things up even though they are suppost to self prime! Normally when they fail they just pull air through all the time or block! If all joints and oil lines are air tight and pump is working and there is still no oil at the pump then change the loop! Thanks for the comment! Also remrber 10 years and change anyway.
They still sell plastic tiger loops so surley they can still be used aswell as the metal ones?
Hi. Thanks for the comment and yes they still do sell plastic ones and loads of them and yes you can still fit them and yes they will prob be fine and i prefer them to as you can see what is going on in the loop!. I was just telling people the regs now. Up to the individual engineer what they want to do. Have a great Easter.!
@@BartonOilBurnerServices I got pulled up for not fitting a tiger loop. I didnt realise Grant had changed there instructions and more or less insist on one! Thank you for the informative video and I do watch all of them! I'm an oil installer and enjoy an insight into how others work and you are top class!
@@jameswright789 Thanks for the kind words mate!! Tiger loop caught us out with Grant wall mounted also. Even though they work perfect on a one pipe system we had a pump leak and when we went to claim it they asked if it had a tiger loop and i said no and that was it they rejected it. I moaned as clearly it was working but just leaking and they caved in on me. Now i fit of all to save the hassle! Have a good one!
@@BartonOilBurnerServices Apparently Riello have had problems with their pumps, hence the modification to the fitting instructions! I really like the channel and will keep watching! Regards J
Rob, got a rdb 2.2 thats literally screaming at me like a bashee when on. You know what it could be lol
Hi mate. If it is screaming it is prob motor bearings. Just pop the pump off and spin the fan that will give it away! if it is quiet when you spin it when cold then it will be pump. If you are unsure message me a video to instagram mate and i will tell you! Have a good one!
@@BartonOilBurnerServices thanks mate. I dont have instagram lol but i should, but il whip it out and see whats going on. I wanted to check with the GOAT 😎 i literally serviced the boiler today and low and behold, it started screaming lol.
@@Purebeltersteve Ok if you serviced it today def check bearings however sometimes when you have to do the emissions you end up adjusting the air and sometimes they can then start to scream from the intake so check that also. If you look us up you will find my mobile number so feel free to whatsapp me the noise mate! Have a good one!
@@Purebeltersteve Also GOAT!! I will take it!
@@BartonOilBurnerServices you know your stuff mate when it comes to oil, its well deserved
Thanks Rob👍 Happy Easter to you & the family, remember don’t give this fellas of yours more than one small eggs each, can I suggest one of these Cream Eggs, they get smaller every year!!!.......As you’ve discovered, they were skiving for Britain the week you were away, so deserve nothing!!
Fantastic insight as always, some wee nuggets of tips in there also👍👍
I’ve gotta fess up, I was guilty of fitting Tigger Loops internally back in the day.
Thanks as always👍
Kind regards Dick Puller❤❤
Thanks Mate. Have a good easter. You make us smile with your comments 🤣
