- Atag Heating Technology full strip down and review so first of all we will start with the jig. My name's Allen Hart, and today we're gonna do a full review and strip down of the ATAG heating technology boiler range. Always make sure you use a gas-safe registered engineer when working with boilers.
First of all, we'll start with the jig. The jig on this has the expansion vessel built in. With this jig, all the pipes can go up the left and the right hand side. As you can see there, there's lots of space for the pipes. To take the expansion vessel out on this boiler, you will probably need to take the boiler off the wall. You maybe have to take it off the back, if the flow goes sidewards. You need about 370 mil space, so you can pull that expansion vessel out the top.
I believe that this is an 8-liter expansion vessel. It may be that you need to fit a bigger expansion vessel anyway. You can get a remote expansion vessel kit, so the boiler will connect straight back to the wall. Then you can use this bracket with the strap with your existing expansion vessel. By fitting the remote kit, you can save about 90 mil from the depth of the boiler, which will then make this boiler a cupboard-fit boiler. The depth of the boiler, then, will be at 265 mil, so it's very small.
Once you have the back jig on the wall, the expansion vessel will connect on this connexion, out the front of the boiler, making it very easy for the future. If you have any problems with sludge blocking this pipe, you can easily disconnect it and take it off and clean it out.
Well, first of all, we'll unclip the top there, and on the other side there. The whole case will come forward. You'll notice on the case here, that's the case. This is because the case has got a physical seal on, and obviously it doesn't itself, naturally, through any screws or anything like that. Put it somewhere safe.
The case has been put somewhere safe. The next thing you need to do is remove the silencer there on the air intake. It's on some Velcro, just here, and that'll physically lift up and off. That needs to go somewhere safe, too. We also need to disconnect two plugs from the fan. There's one. There's two. Undo the gas valve. Obviously, this is normally tighter. I've done, for the purpose of the video, I've loosened it with the spanners. the gas valve will just come straight off.
We need a 4 mil Allen key. This 4 mil Allen key can be used to pretty much dismantle most of the boiler. Off like that. One. They both turn inwards. Two. The bars slide forward. There's one. There's two. Now, we need to gently slide the whole burner forward. Take it out with the fan. Like so. It's an EBM fan. Ceramic burner. The burner may just need brushing, if it's particularly dirty or anything. This is a new boiler. You also need to check on the back, removing this clip here, which I shall do in a minute. If you just want to look in the heat exchange there, you'll see the tubes. I've just unclipped this clip here with a flathead screwdriver, something in there, just to pry it out. Gently remove the ceramic burner. Easy as that. Check the burner seal. Make sure that it's in good condition. It's also worth noting that when we do remove these, these seals have to be replaced.
We've shown you a full strip down today of the actual boiler. That needs to be done every four years, or if the actual full gas analysis is out. Every four years, these seals need changing. This is brand spanking-
To take the gas valve out, you've got two little caps that go into the top of the boiler there. Then, you've got two 4 mil Allen key connexions. There's a plug on here, outside. Then, what we do is undo these nuts. Then, the gas valve will just pull out, like that. This side of the gas valve doesn't have a nut on it. It's just on the narrow end. If you see there, it's just got the narrow end. To put that back in, you just push that back on there, and you tighten the screws back on the top.
Then, I can just show you now, putting the burner back in. Just slide it in and connect it. I'm just putting the plugs back in, into the front. Then, just the top, put adjustable spanners.
Should you need to take the plate out on this, there's one screw there, which again is a 4 mil Allen key. There's one screw there. All you do is undo them two . Lift out, lift the head off. Then just slide the plate heat exchanger out, just there. This is a bit of an easier way to show it. You can just see there how easy they are to undo. Then you can just lift them straight out.
The boiler's got a Grundfos pump; it's a 15 75. The inside. The capture is brass. It feels like a very good quality The flow turbine on these is made by Honeywell. The blower from these, on the front of the boiler. It's also combined with the so you'll not blow off the drill. If ever you did need to take it out, if you have a look there, there's just a clip. Just push that clip out.
great video, love these boilers. They're made with the servicing engineers in mind.
Thanks.
Another good vid Alan.
I'm now an associated partner with Atag, class products.
Another great video, and wow that boiler is built in a smart way for easy works in the future 👍🏼👍🏼
MrSayef Thank you for watching. Please give the video a like👍
Bj
Good video Allen.
Thank you Robert, Thanks for watching.
Looks well made that boiler
They are a great boiler.
looks good shame no-one keeps parts for them just been to one fan fault part not available order it from atag whoopee do
Maybe try the facelift version with the new interface..... Loads of bits that can be useful to know 👍👍
I worked at Atag for a while. Thanks.
@@AllenHart999 as a TM?? Or in design???
Did you meet Jason Lewis.... The chip eating Welshman🤣
@@nigelyates7934 Jason is a good friend of mine, Yes i was a TPM
He's a character, isn't he.... Works for Baxi now 👍👍
Loves his mountain biking
He was my TPM for a while when ATAG launched in the Bristol area 👍
Atag is the best boiler ever made in the world
Thank You
@@AllenHart999 no Allen, thank you
Watched most of your videos! Great stuff.
So, which COMBI boiler do you prefer? ATAG or Viessmann Vito’ 200 series?
I need to fit one in the 30/32kw Range..
Hope you’ll answer! Thanks.
Viessmann 200?
Or ATAG??
😊😊
I installed a Baxi 636 in my house. Thanks.
Allen Hart Wow! A Baxi??! I would’ve bet my life it’d of been a Viessmann 200..!!!
You must obviously think the Baxi is ‘better’..?
Viessmann 200 is a great boiler but not the best boiler for me or my house. 👍
Allen Hart Good stuff. It’s the one I’ll be having fitted within the next week to ten days. (The Vitodens 200 W 30) Average 3 bed semi.
Thanks pal. 👌🏼👌🏼
@@AllenHart999what's your take on ideal vogue max which comes with 12 years guarantee
Hi, have you fitted many of the Atags?
Benjamin Clews I worked for Atag for 12 months. I have fitted a few. I personally wouldn’t install them anymore though.
Any particular reason?
@@AllenHart999 very curious to know why you wound not install them any more , apart from Baxi being better value , and viessmann have wider modulation range
I can see why it's a cheap boiler. nice 90 degree bend on the ex hose to get blocked after a few years on a dirty system. other downfall is that they do not have there own factory employed engineers to do warranty calls, so normally a 3rd or 4th visit fix reqd for parts. not good for the customer. I recommend and fit others.
