What a fantastic video. This is the first one I'm seen on changing this kind of diverter motor/valve. I couldn't even find any documents on where this was located, till I saw your video. All other videos are on changing cartridges or motors on the left-hand side of the heat exchanger. Well done and keep up with these videos.
Great video, I changed one of these today, I did it with the second method, used Allen key to loosen it off then used the worcester 4mm x 2.5mm Allen keys you can buy to undo them fully, wasn't bad to do atall! Alot easier getting the worcester combo allen key in 👌
Great video 👌, I had to change an expansion vessel flexi on one of these the other day, did it in situ…..what a nightmare of a job, my hands were mashed up after😂, next time I will just take the right hand block out to do it.
This is why on any install with a plastic manifold a water arrestor is a must. That with clean system water should prevent premature dv failure. Keep up coming bruv, thanks for taking the time to make these tutorials 👍 Set yourself up a rig with ply and stud work. It'll make it alot easier to show us your workings 🙌
Is any way to test diverter valve when still on boiler ? Warming out flow pipe when is hot water demand will be always this paddle problem (diverter valve)?
I’m not a big fan of them at all but That boiler looks In to good of condition to be replaced . What’s the background to it main heat exchanger failure ?
Might seem like a dumb question but are the boilers you’re recording, boilers that are going to be replaced or are you taking them off the wall to work on? 🤷♂️
Hi Mate, my divertor motor popped out of position the other day after draining and re pressuring the system, not sure how! However after I reseated the motor on to the divertor my demand for hot water now heats the rads, any idea?
Hi Thanks for taking the time to reply to my request. U sound like my old apprentice if u have a woot king boiler on ur van then u no u will fix the brake down Good vids keep up all way nice to see other people learning over a coffe
Hey, you shouldn’t need to remove anything. Use bent long nose pliers to remove the PRV clip inside the boiler, undo or cut the PRV pipe under the boiler and push it out. I’ve got a video on my site showing the whole process
I’m really sorry pal, but I have to give you a thumbs down, it was painful watching you make taking the stepper motor and paddle out such hard work. It’s a really easy job to get it out but you made it look really hard
Bahco SB-2058/S26 BHSB-2058/S26 Bit Socket Set, Multi-Colour, 1/... Wera Kraftform Kompakt 60 Bit-Holding screwdriver & Bit Set, PH/... Get yourself these tools, if you haven’t already, total of £40 from Amazon and you can use the extensions from the wear set in the mini ratchet set, and it will come out really really easy, without having to remove the return manifold.
That was harsh, I changed the thumbs down to thumbs up, you had the balls to make the vid in the first place. I should be supportive not critical. Sorry 👍
You don’t have to apologise, if you know a better way to do it then I’m all for it. I’m not perfect, but I am always up for improvement which is why I do these videos (to practise on the boilers in my free time so I can get quicker and also help less experienced guys out). I appreciate the constructive criticism and bought both sets, thanks Kevin 👍
