As a plumber/gas engineer myself for the last 22 years your work is very neat and tidy. The press fit fittings look nice and have a nice finish. At least some of us still have some pride in our work. Great channel! Subscribed. 👍
This is an excellent video Allen.And as you rightly say it is a real world installation/swap. And as you rightly say you can only deal with what is put in front of you for good or for bad. So long as the boiler installation is safe and the system is as clean as possible that is all that matters. Too many people in this industry are very critical when an installation is not an oil painting,and they are wrong. I wish my business got more work like that one. Keep up the good work Allen and I will see you again soon.
Nice work. Real world installation. Good to take the time to fully flush the old part of the system. Thanks for taking the time to film. Keep up the good work. All the best Pete. 👍
Good on you Allen its refreshing that your showing real world jobbing work .yes its nice to see polished pipework and perfect bending etc but its not always possible due to time restraints and having to keep the rest of your customer base content its all a compromise usually. just how much time you can spend on the job depends on the price you submit and the expectations of the customer .love the videos beats tv hands down
Real world job mate , no problem wiv that ! Good safe , tidy job in the end mate . Good to see u letting the trainee have a go aswell , not enough of that in the industry ! Great vid mate , keep um coming 👍👍
Baxi 800's a nice range of boilers I've fitted a few. 3 have been with verticals. Great as per usual Allen, keep up the great tutorials. To anyone who's not gas safe registered, DON'T WORK ON GAS. 😁
Love your videos as always. It's really nice of you to help trainees. I'm doing my gas training now and like watching your videos to get any tips. Great stuff Allen :)
No criticisms here Alan, if I wanted my mechanic to replace my brake pads, I’d be pretty unhappy if he took it upon himself to replace the engine for no particular reason. You did a nice job of exactly what the customer asked you to do.
Nice job Allen good off Danny to come help you on sat top effort lads a job well done in regards to pipe work you can on play with the cards your delt mate you did what you had to main priority is its gas safe and a warm home 👍
There's no problem with that job" as we all know in the real world we just got to go with what's there and do the installation to regs. Always enjoy your videos " especially with the two trainee's.
if the client wanted to have all the pipe work pretty then they have to pay more. Most just want it as cheap as possible and don't care as long as it works. Allen could have spent another 3 hours making it look pretty but would the client want to pay... Great video really enjoy watching what you put out for us Allen.
Agree about pipework can't always make a silk purse out of sows ear. We do the best we can with what we got to work with. Most important thing is its safe and it works
Great video! It is nice to see what a gas engineer gets up to and what is in the boiler/how it works as it’s something rarely seen inside if your not a gas engineer.
hi allan regarding ptfe tape around olives i sometimes do the same i find that these days the olives are so hard that they don't bite into the copper pipe, much prefer copper olives.good vids
I'm going to be having an 830 installed and i thought the box right at the start had 830 on it. Is there much difference anyone between the 800 and the 830? Thanks
Hi Allen, excellent tutorial, do you do installations within the Leeds vicinity?, I’m thinking of upgrading mine so it will be a straight swap like the one in your video,mi live within a 15 mile radius of Leeds, Thanks Mick.
Great video great install as always. Shame you have to explain yourself at the end tbh you’ll never please everyone but most of us live in the real world.
Hi Alan My father had installed the baxi 800 He is 86 and was shown how to use the wireless box but forgotten how to use it as I was not around could you help me please as I also have dyscalculia can’t do figures so need to see The order in which you do it do you have a video that is step-by-step for this particular boiler thank you so much
Top job Allen, as always. I have the baxi 830, brilliant boilers. As an enthusiast i was very interested in my install and was very tempted to watch the engineers at work but i was very conscience that they might not like me hovering over them and kept out of their way. Allen how do engineer feel about customers watching them work? I dont suppose you can do a vid on that?
Surprised you didn’t remove the paint from the pipes before making your connections mate. Thought you might not get 100% seal or possible issues in the future.
when you have got no hot water then it is just a case of getting it in asap. when situation/weather is better then if they want it pretty then you can always come back
Hi mate, I’ve had a new Baxi 800 installed a few days ago and I have a small issue with it in regards to the psi raising when the water is turned on. Water is around 50°c or less close to min level and so is the heating. Boiler starts flashing 125 with the pressure raised. Any suggestions?
Hi Allen, i have a baxi duo-tec, howeber it takes forever to heat water, it's around 3 years old, and is serviced annually, is it worth replacing it with a baxi 800 or an ideal logic c30? Or is there a possible reason for this? My mum has an ideal logic and her hot water gets much hotter and gets hot quicker, any ideas?
That expansion vessel would look better with a 3/4 female to 22mm compression connected on to it. A flexible hose with PTFE on the male thread????. Must have originally been installed by a DIY
Allen do you know what the difference is between the Baxi range and the Potterton range. I've seen a Potterton 800, looks exactly like the Baxi 800 you've installed. Was wondering if the insides were the same or if it was inferior...
If only all guys are as through as you having no end hassle with BG home plan engineers for my Baxi boiler keep getting e125 fault code we have totally flushed system I know it notsludge build up they just don’t fix it any ideas I can throw at them your videos are a bit addictive top guy
Great video, as usual. When using press fit fittings to existing pipe work would you clean off old paint or will the press fit be ok without removing the paint?
Baxi really should update the 800 , to make it a leader in the market , effectively the default go to, recommendations , all models variants 10 step modulation down to3.5kw , regardless of kw sizing. Hot water model only so those trying to not spend to much can disable the heating system completely if they want to such as in summer so low heating minimum temp can be disabled , or wish to use it in a hybrid environment with a air or ground source heat pump , and get rid of the analog old school look with smart display / interactive thermostat with weather comp and low pressure warnings
Hi Allen, Excellent video, would you recommend the Baxi830 is it possible to give a rough idea on a fittted price? if not the Baxi do you favour any other model?
Great informative vid as always Allen thanks. You can tell you really know what your're doing and have the customer's interests at heart. Do you think these boilers would be alright for underfloor heating in a small house?
You did what the client requested in a safe and professional manner - good on you sir, excellent video!

Down to one trainee now, Phil has been offered a job. Thank you. 👍
Hi, can you help . I have had a bexi 800 installed but the radiator light flashes while it's been turned down to minimum.
Danny will be the 'second best' plumber in Leeds, after his time with you Allen 👍
He is doing really well. Thanks.

Hi mate. Can you do a video showing mains flushing etc. I just want to see if I'm doing it correctlg
Did you have to change the arrow direction of the magnetic filter because the return comes from up please, me still training ??
I take it, if you're getting a new boiler, and they don't do a flush they are not doing there job right? What if the system is clean anyway?
How are you supposed to find that flue seal fault. Is it checked during a service?
hi allan regarding ptfe tape around olives i sometimes do the same i find that these days the olives are so hard that they don't bite into the copper pipe, much prefer copper olives.good vids
👍👍👍👍
Any reason why you didn’t clean the paint off the pipe first before using press or compression
(Just enough for the joint / slightly more)
I removed it a bit from the press fittings, Never really bothered with compression, Never had an issue. Thanks.
Top man Allen thanks for the video.
Thank you for watching.
@@AllenHart999 Not been gas qualified for that long and mainly done service and repair so far so find your videos really useful to watch.
@@simonmander4314 That’s great news. Thank you for supporting my channel.
9:10 what is that canister for? automatic venting?
The chemicals you are flushing down the drain are they dangerous once they enter the water system?
I'm going to be having an 830 installed and i thought the box right at the start had 830 on it. Is there much difference anyone between the 800 and the 830? Thanks
800 is the range, and 830 is the model in that range. I hope that makes sense to you. Thanks.
@@AllenHart999 thanks
Is there a way to replace the sacraficial anode in a Baxi 836?
Bonding on the meter as well! Great video!
Michael Anastasakis well spotted 👍
Do you fit many gas cookers aswell mate ?? If you do could you put a video of that up mate please ? Cheers
Keep up the good work. Really enjoy the videos 👍
Nice job mate 👍🏻 let's see that 103 in action in the next video
I will do, Thanks.
Hi Allen, excellent tutorial, do you do installations within the Leeds vicinity?, I’m thinking of upgrading mine so it will be a straight swap like the one in your video,mi live within a 15 mile radius of Leeds,
Thanks
Mick.
I live in Sherburn in Elmet, Try and stay over that side if possible. Where abouts do you live? Thanks.
It's a boiler in a utility room of an old house. And it's oop North. Doesn't really matter what it looks like. Thanks Allen.
😂😂😂😂👍
Great video great install as always. Shame you have to explain yourself at the end tbh you’ll never please everyone but most of us live in the real world.
Thank you.
Is the any permanent code or model no in the boiler?
Hi Alan My father had installed the baxi 800 He is 86 and was shown how to use the wireless box but forgotten how to use it as I was not around could you help me please as I also have dyscalculia can’t do figures so need to see The order in which you do it do you have a video that is step-by-step for this particular boiler thank you so much

Its a pain in the arse, sometimes a job can go the wrong way and its stressful enough with out someone hovering over your shoulder
Could you help me, I just bought the boiler baxi 830 from local agent.how do I know I bought baxi830 or not?
you said you only went to quote on a new boiler... so why you ripping the old one off the wall?
Hi
It would be great full anyone tell me clearly how do I know baxi 800 or 830 without using serial no. sticker.
Hi allen what does an expansion vessel do in a system iv seen them on hot water cylinders to always wondered what there for
When water gets hot it expands, The expansion vessel take up the expansion. I will explain in a video. Thanks.
Allen Hart
Cheers allen
Nice work Allen! Don’t worry about the haters.
Hi Mike, I don,t worry about haters anymore. Thanks.
Good video, I’ve fitted several of those, they are great boilers.
Top job as all ways 👍
Peter sutton Thank you 🙏
Surprised you didn’t remove the paint from the pipes before making your connections mate. Thought you might not get 100% seal or possible issues in the future.
I always scrape the paint off. Thanks.
Excellent video Alan
Why do you like press fit fittings ?
Let by is 9mbar .
Just doing a video today about pressfit. should be on in a few days. Thanks.
well done al nice job mate all the best kev
How much normally for a labour fee to change the boiler.. many thanks
Would you not clean the pipes on the filter (getting the paint off)
As long as it doesn’t leak it doesn’t really matter. Thanks.
Always good videos but cleaning the paint off old pipework is a must for me before connecting anything.
Good point.
when you have got no hot water then it is just a case of getting it in asap. when situation/weather is better then if they want it pretty then you can always come back
cross bonding at the meter?

+Kieran Atkinson Absolutely NOT. Do not replace it. Call someone out to it and see what the issue is Duo-Tec is a great boiler in my opinion 👍
no power flush?

Allen do you know what the difference is between the Baxi range and the Potterton range.
I've seen a Potterton 800, looks exactly like the Baxi 800 you've installed.
Was wondering if the insides were the same or if it was inferior...
Lots of the models are the same, they just have different warranties. Thanks.
Thanks for the prompt reply.

Take a water sample. Thanks.
@@AllenHart999 do u mean a visual?
I’ve seen the nova press 103 , can you use the 102 jaws on the 103 ?

Hi Allen, Excellent video, would you recommend the Baxi830 is it possible to give a rough idea on a fittted price? if not the Baxi do you favour any other model?
Really depends what is needed. Thanks
Would you travel to Bolton for work?
As usual great video mate.Just a question regarding the combustion on low rate.The analyser was 0.0000 ,is that normal? Keep up the good work 👍
Did the subway come with the boiler?
That came from over the road. Well spotted. Thanks for watching.
How much is it in pounds?
Stay safe. Watch this one just in case. Thanks ua-cam.com/video/Hh5lFC7VI4U/v-deo.html

hi allen, do baxi not recommend a shock arrestor on cwm? cheers
If the house has a water meter. 👍
I see you've still got Fred WITH YOU
Who,s Fred 😂
Hi Allen . I’m a new gas engineer, one think that we don’t learn at school is pricing . How much did you price for this job ?
I am on with my next video now, I will do a video on quoting, look out for it. Thanks.
Great informative vid as always Allen thanks. You can tell you really know what your're doing and have the customer's interests at heart. Do you think these boilers would be alright for underfloor heating in a small house?
