    Cheers Doc, another good video. Beggers belief, so easy to chamfer the pipe and yet people can't be bothered 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

    Just bought myself the milwaukee compressor, good bit of kit. It amazes me when I go to do a boiler service and the amount of customers that say, well the last engineer didn't do all this and that, crazy to think people are working on a gas appliance and the risks they are willing to take to get the job done quick. Anyway Doc, your slowing down on the video's, what's going on? Appreciate its crazy busy for everyone at the moment. No idea why I even want to watch videos on plumbing when I do it myself lol 🤷‍♂️🤣🤣

    Hey mate
    Great video again 👍
    The contract I work on we have lots of vaillant boilers , your right about the installers accidentally drilling into the plastic flue it has caused lots of issues !!
    Also the packing washer in the flue turret fails quite often , giving readings on the air intake 👍
    First comment and might help others 😎

      Thanks buddy. “ Packing washer” you mean the sponge type one on the turret or the flue seal on the hex to turret ? 🙏 the hex one is going bcos of Hi temps set 💯

      @@drpipe yes mate the one that the flue sits into
      Part no 981227
      It might help engineers who possibly think a flue seal has gone but in fact it’s just the packing ring
      As I say hope this helps 👍

      If that goes it’s only sucking fresh air in would effect Co but def not Room sealed no more 🙏

    We have loads of pro 28s on our contract and the issue with the failed packing ring seal is very common, we have our engineers check the air intake readings on every one now especially longer flues

      Should be done on every boiler where you can anyway

    The audio was particularly bad on most of this one Doc pipe. With the visual I got the jist of it. Maybe a try doing a voiceover whilst editing on the next one. Thanks for sharing 👍.
