I shall be plumbing a combi boiler in in a few days.
But I've never seen an example of the close-up-to-the-boiler
pipework connections.

The only thing I've been able to guess at is that I should use Unions
on the boiler outlets/inlets. And the pipework beyonf these will have
to be niftily directed onwards.
I'd like to make a very good job of it all so I would welcome all of your
advice
and even any pictures you might have. You can send as many pics as you
like
to
ravenscrofta at yahoo.co.uk

I will also enjoy the snippy arguments that are likely to ensue.


Thanks very much.

Arthur


The final pipework is supplied with the combi, at least mine was, all the
bent pipes, flared ends, compression joints etc, to get your pipework
pointing down the wall in the right direction. Then, it's up to you to carry
on. My top tips, use a decent flux, or make sure the pipe ends AND the
inside of the solder joints are cleaned well with wire wool. Also, for
visible
joints, if you're a perfectionist, wipe the visible solder on the joints
with a slightly damp cloth, it gives a nice finish.
