Great video. I have the exact same boiler (over 20 years old but still ok) with gas valves that seem to be a bit sticky, they sometimes take a while to open or don't open at all. Can they be replaced and/or refurbished economically?
@normanboyes4983
@normanboyes4983 5 лет назад
Thank you for directing me to this video. Yes that is the same boiler that I own and I have had exactly the same problem, diagnosed and solved the same way. Its a pity you cannot remember why the other guy fitted a new gas valve assembly and pretty damning that he left the customer without a working boiler for such a simple problem no doubt after extracting the maximum £££ out if the customer. It is a pity that Gas Safe do not police this sort of activity and weed out the charlatans and incompetents.
@HeatingGeek
@HeatingGeek 5 лет назад
The customer didn't pay anymore than their monthly premium. The engineer has since told me the gas valve wouldn't adjust but after he replaced it, it wouldn't light. The only issue is the customer left without HTG and HW.

@bobsempires 5 лет назад
@@normanboyes4983 Sure. In most instances, where gas quality is fine, these things last forever (best ive seen 10 years without maintanence). But in many specific cases where for some reason gas quality is bad i have to change/clean them every year or so. Pilot flame on big boilers is fine. However im questioning its design choice on smaller ones like junkers hidromax. Excess complication with many possible failiure points.
@normanboyes4983
@normanboyes4983 5 лет назад
RD Hey most guys when servicing boilers do not strip the pilot injector nozzle and clean it so with or without maintenance is the same situation. Of course the gas is always clean debris is introduced by new pipe installation.
@bobsempires
@bobsempires 5 лет назад
@@normanboyes4983 Oh it's worse than that. :) First of all, 2 junkers floor boilers in cascade installed 14ish years ago, they ran it on LPG gas at start but then now they switched it to NatGas 2 years ago. The reason why I had to clean injector for pilot flame was because there was literally no other way, pilot flame was so small it would never touch Ionization electrode, even after switching electrode to new one it would still fail to recognize the flame. After blowing injector and copper pipe with compressed air it started running fine again (bigger flame, reached ionization electrode). I believe the reason why injector got clogged with gray residue is something related to the way copper pipes react with NatGas that boiler companies don't want to talk about. They (Or some unwanted additive) produce these gray flakes that sometimes heavily clog rough filters before gas regulator. Still have to wait to determine the root cause of clogs but if it happens once every 2 years then obviously something is wrong in gas piping or filtering. However there may be something Ive failed to check or missed.

Have one of these boilers and have worked on a lot of them over the years , this is a common occurrence. You have to be very careful how you disassemble the pipe especially if they have not been taken apart in a while ,they are very narrow and can shere around the olive .I have tried several methods to clean the pilot ,It seems a particular difficult one .The best results for me anyway is using a 12 volt tire compressor with the plastic cone shaped adapter cut down so it makes a good seal into the pilot injector This seems to work very well and there is no chance of reamering out the injector .The other common fault as the boilers get older is the PCB which usually shows as the boiler fan repeatedly stoping and starting. The other thing is I seem to remember a pilot restrictor that fits into the pipe at the valve end ,this can drop out when you are handling the pipe ,suspect that would show up straight away with the pilot picture. PS make sure you hang on tight to the injector when you start up the compressor!

@johnboy1232 5 лет назад
In the past I have tried boiling in a pan of hot water with not much success,The 12 volt compressor does work very well, I used a 12 v battery charger with male / female insulated connectors on both the outlet ends of the 12v side of the battery charger and the 12v wires going to the compressor .To make more portable for inside use. The other thing I used it for was clearing sludge blockages in microbore , disconnecting valve end from rad connecting suitable fittings and I had a piece of 8mm insertion tube that fitted tightly into the thumb valve of the compressor ,turn on the rad valve , turn on the compressor for 5sec ,then remove the end of the insertion tube into a bowl and with a bit of luck the sludge runs out , repeate if required. Of course there is a chance you push the sludge somewhere else but that never happened to me . Microbore is not as common today as it was in my time .but I can assure you this little dodge saved me hours and hours .very useful for where the microbore come off a 4 way inline manifold and sludge tended to settle blocking of the bottom tube.

We have one of these and every time it lights it makes two loud clicks and clunks. I’ve been told it’s normal but why would a boiler lighting be so loud?

Great video but as I have seen your analizer on Natural Gas, that flame picture yellow shouldn't it be blue? The meter man sees that and that's a meter capped off! lol. Great insight on how to roubleshoot this.

Did you check to see how many rads were on the system before you decided to adjust the valve to 10.8mb as I noticed it had the option of max 12.7 for 60.000 btu or doesn't it really matter as its only 5.000 difference, just wondering im not picking holes as I like your work,

I have same boiler when switch on it will works continually for 15 minute then it will turn of for around 2minute and on for around 5 minute and keep on and off like that till the water get worm and the cylinder thermostats switch the boiler off is that normal or dose that mean the flame is too high of the pressure more than 10.8

@@HeatingGeek This takes Me back. I used to work for glowworm and service repair there range of products. Popular back then was the hot water express combi. Changed its name to the swift flow. I used to put injectors / jets in a cup of hot water then blow through or replace. Especially on Lpg where the gas was attracted to the brass👍. Good fault finding very methodical.

@@HeatingGeek boiler pressure like on new boilers you just open the valves. I feel that my hot water has very low pressure but the temperature is extremely hot with this boiler
@HeatingGeek
@HeatingGeek 2 года назад
@@inityo Unfortunately the pressure you talk about on new boilers is the pressure within the heating system. Not at all related to the hot water pressure. You probably have a hot water cylinder filled via a tank in your loft. The height difference between this tank and the hot water outlet you are using is what gives you the pressure of your hot water. I hope this explains it for you.

Surprised that a really knowledgable engineer like yourself would use any sort of tool to clean an injector
@HeatingGeek
@HeatingGeek 5 лет назад
I knew someone would eventually say that. I would think that too if I had done done it hundreds of times. British Gas allow their engineers to clean pilot injectors with a similar tool. Im not reaming it out. Just clearing the hole. If I refitted the injector and the flame was elongated I would replace the injector. This isn't making the hole any bigger, just clearing it. Give it a go. If it works, boiler fixed. If it doesn't boiler STILL broken. (nothing to loose) :-) Thanks for watching and commenting. :-)

HeatingGeek Thanks for your reply It’s not a criticism I really enjoy your videos your knowledge of electronics is 2nd to none And even after for 41 years in this industry I’m still learning but I’ve never felt the need to put any sort of object through an injector hole I just drop it in boiling water for a couple of minutes and then blow it through that seems to work without the risk of enlarging the whole Keep up the good work as a say you are a top engineer thanks

@@jamiemerchant3327 I didn't take it as a criticism. It exactly what I believed until recently. I haven't enlarged one yet but that may happen. I have never tried boiling water tbh.

I have this but don’t know anything about them. It was serviced today but I wasn’t in when the guys came to do it so couldn’t ask but When heating water On a timer (I only have it on for 1 hour in the morning and 1 in the evening) the pilot light will come on , and stay on for a few minutes then switch off for about 5. It then comes back on for another couple mins then back off again. Is this meant to do that?
