No, Phil; the funny bit was that you'd thought there was 2 bar/30 psi
pressure at the test nipple on the meter outlet, when it's more like
one hundredth of that; 20 mbar/0.02 bar/0.3 psi.

Whilst you're flannelling around to hide your embarrassment, you
really did make yourself look very silly there.

I said he's blown the fluid out of the manometer because there was too much
pressure, further posts from the OP got to the truth, inthat he'd blown the
fluid out of the manometer because there was too much pressure.

HTH

You then showed you had no clue about how to use a manometer, but
someone told you how to do it later on in that thread.

I was using drop testers when you was a glint in the milkman's eye.

I'm afraid not, I have never fitted a flueless gas fire, I have
tested them though, along with hundreds of other gas fires, boilers
and other gas appliances as part of my job, what job do you do?

You really shouldn't be doing that, Phil.

Oh really, why's that Aiden?

You are a handyman and you really shouldn't be buggering about with
gas appliances when you know nothing about them and have no idea how
to use the very simplest pressure measurement tool.

I'm not a handyman, I'm a self employed builder, prior to this I installed
cavity wall insulation for about 8-9 years, each house we installed had to
have gas tests done on each appliance, we did 3 houses most days, now my
maths may not be as good as yours, considering you've been somewhere that
taught you how to spell 'stoichiometric', but that equates to around 6,480
homes, admittedly, some of them didn't have any gas appliances while oithers
had 2 or 3, either way it makes around 13,000 gas tests.


You're not qualified and are a danger to yourself and your customers.

As you said; "I myself have no formal qualifications to speak of, but
had
the confidence to try everything and some things I was good at and now
I
earn my living doing them"


Nice bit of selective googling, but you missed one:

Your confidence in your own abilities is misplaced.

Ah, another HVAC engineer who knows feck all about ventilation and
even less about combustion, there's a novelty.

An truly inspired choice of words.
I know enough about combustion to be able to calculate the mass flow
rates at which the combustion products would accumulate, assuming a
stoichiometric ratio and complete combustion. I'd thought of doing
that out of interest, but can't be bothered. I also know that you
wouldn't have a clue.

Hell, and they didn't even teach you that flueless gas fires are perfectly
safe....as I said earlier to which you spat your dummy out complaining that
it's the customers who are stupid and don't like sitting in a gale-force
draught...pity you forgot that all gas fires, flueless or otherwise require
ventilation to function correctly...nice backpeddaling.

No really.
