You see how he hit that valve , that’s what a pro sparky looks like , established the problem and then proved his thoughts and walks away knowing exactly where the issue was with use of drawings his experience and test equipment, new to the trade people would do well to follow that advice not just be a parts changer or a “call a plumber” merchant

inside the fixed part of the valve is a short arm which has a small rubber ball which covers or opens the flow of water,i have changed quite a few due to the rubber ball deteriating and breaking up and getting lodged in the arm

the Bosch go2 screwdriver is brilliant but there 1 problem with it, is that it's round. when you put it down on a side it rolls off.

That particular style of socket protector you can often actually get a wire down in the gap where the pins click in... making live parts more accessible than not having it!

Plug covers are actually quite dangerous in the UK with the shuttered outlets it's something that has drifted across the pond. I forget It was a John Ward thing or some safety video I ran a crossed.

Welcome back keep up the good work

Honeywell app is a winner for diagnosing these issues.

You need starting to use the type of connection / switch boxes we use in rest of Europe and "sikringsskap" as in Norway

Fire-rated downlights, while they're an excellent upgrade, are not required when the room above is part of the same dwelling. The ones installed here were approved and (assuming the ceiling isn't insulated) there's plenty of room for air to circulate. The greater risk comes when they're above an upstairs room and covered with insulation, with no air circulation. The lamps overheat and fail prematurely, and there's a fire risk. So possibly C3 but I'd put it in notes advising energy saving advantages of upgrading.

My thinking exactly

Cory . Again your a star.

So professional

8:18: a stiff valve *shouldn't* (though anything is possible) burn out the motor. The motors are designed to spend most of their life stalled. On a single port valve, they run to the end of travel and just sit there with current running through them desperately trying to push the valve more open, but alas in vain. Like the wind turbine service boats that just sit there rammed against the base of the turbine. The motors are a common enough failure that you can pick up replacements and knock-off replacements everywhere.

Fault finding on a stuck valve. Power off, does the level move back? If not either stuck valve, worn motor or broken spring. Pop the head off, if the lever returns it’s the valve, if not it’s the motor or if your really lucky a springs come off.

You’ve got 2 zone valves. 1 working 1 isn’t. Check wiring. Then confirm what you already know by swapping working zone valve over to the non working zone valve. Absolutely no need to faf about dissecting the unit if you claim you’re trying to save the customer coin.

Very interesting thanks

For the unvented cylinder If the hot water is constantly on and won’t switch off Check if there is a demand for hot water If there is and the zone valve is free then that’s operating correctly If you close the demand off then you should feel resistance, if you do then the zone valve is operating correctly also If the zone valve is continuously open and causing the boiler to repeatedly fire up to heat the hot water then the likely issue the the cylinder thermostat. If the cylinder stat is at 65 degrees it’ll cause the boiler to fire much more times than it would if it’s at 60 degrees Something as simple as turning the cylinder stat down slightly can have a big impact and the above can be checked within 5 mins

Zone valve failure is very common. If heating or hw are on when not being called for you can almost guarantee its a valve at fault

They might be fire rated fittings what makes you think there not??

if there is power to the brown wire and motor does not move to open position it is faulty motor. you can change sycron motor or replace head you dont need to take sycron motor off

Too much length on those conductors Cory admit it the guy who put up that fitting should have tailored the conductors to the available room within the fitting rather than leaving all conductors long and then cramming them all in before making a quick get away. They've simply dropped the ball there on this one.

Why wasn't the valve motor working when the unit was apart ?

I can't believe when tenants leave there houses in such a state and don't leave a clear and safe environment for you to work in. Working in enclosed spaces is difficult enough without having to deal with that. I think I would request the area be fully cleared of all obstructions prior to starting work or perhaps I am wrong?

@thesteelrodent1796

Жыл бұрын

In Denmark it's customary to clear out the area around whatever you want to have fixed, no matter it it's electrical, plumbing, or something else, as the techs who show up have the right to refuse the job if they don't have easy (or as easy as possible) access to everything they need to work on. This is also why everywhere in Europe now have strict regulations for where you can install things like the electrical main board. Post-Covid it's also become the norm for many companies to demand you clean and sterilize as much as possible, and to give the techs plenty of distance to do their job

The switch is only auxiliary to bring on the boiler, it's called boiler interlink the wrong guy was called to fix the problem. Next time call a heating engineer

Heating wiring centres are the biggest ballache because they are often not installed by electricians, who finish up in some hot and cramped space, fixing someone else’s lousy work. Lunch breaks are compulsory - you need time out - otherwise your blood sugar level drops dangerously low and you finish up working in panic mode.

It's quite common to have uninsulated pipes running throughout a property. Generally there's no point insulating the small amount you can get to, if you're not going to dobthe full run. Some of mine, from a shower pump, go into the attic and back down, and they're fully insulated. But the CH pipes are like underfloor heating!

@m.s.8112

2 жыл бұрын

@@tobysherring1369 IMHO, it makes sense, in cases without hot water circulating even if only the first metres are done because as long as the hot water is not flowing through the pipse, the energy losses are decreasing with increasing distance to the boiler/tank. In those cases where the hot water is circulating, a proper insulation throughout the full length is crucial.
