Story board 3 Boiler first service
On this job the customer had their Valiant 31kw eco tech boiler installed this time last year and Chris (the installer) rung them up asking them if they wanted the service doing as it was now due. So the customer could stay on the warranty scheme they agreed to have the job done. On arrival the customer was in and expecting us. Checked condition of chimney before walking in, it seemed solid and in good condition with a terminal that also looked suitable. Laid down dust matts in the paths we would be taking. Laid our tools there whilst unloading the van. Checked gas cooker had a lid, it had so lifted it up so no interference with tightness test. Made sure no appliances had pilot lights on with in the property. Only the boiler and cooker were the only gas appliances in the house (they owned an electric fire). Lit rings on cooker, checking grill and cooker itself, flames were not yellow or floppy, was no grease on top and no black stains on wall behind cooker as well as gas hose positioned correctly, made out of the suitable material and no signs of stress. The boiler was having its first service any way so this will be explained as we go on.
Checked meter, it was a G4 with a 28mm pipe rising from it meaning no purging calculations were needed. Checked gas meter for stableness and was stable, earth bonding 10mm wide as well as with in 600mm with no 'T' in the pipe work. Pin still holding handle to the correct tension as well as the meter displayed the two stickers, one displaying the no. to ring in case of an emergency and the other displaying which way influences the handle to do what. Handle swung right way, no threat of pressure increasing when doing let-by-test at 10 mb for a minute, carried out stabilisation for a minute at 20 mb and then a tightness test at 20mb for two minutes. A slight drop but around .17mb which is only very slight. Whilst at gas meter I did standing pressure, lifting ECV all the way up the
