Hello I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction regarding a problem routing the oil hose from my boiler. The problem is that the hose started leaking which was caused by a kink in the hose where it exits the side of the boiler case. I have a replacement hose and think if I could fit some sort of extender to the Riello pump inlet it would allow the pipe to exit the side of the boiler without any kink. It would have to be some sort of BSPT 1/4 femail x BSPT 1/4 male coupling and would appreciate any pointers as to where I could get such a thing if it exists.
Many thanks.

BES would be the first place I'd look.

I can't work out the layout of pump inlet, current hose route, the
new extension and proposed hose route.

Wot he said

The whole idea of using hose as the final connection to the pump is to absorb vibration and facilitate removing the burner for servicing. Most fuel supply pipes are copper to within the boiler casing AND you should have a fire stop valve in the supply with the valve either outside the dwelling or immediately adjacent to pipe emergence from a concrete floor. Approved types have a variety of lengths of sensing probe.
You really need to use a long life, non kink oil hose and route it from the pump to the termination with the copper pipe in any easy loop.
Long life hoses are available with both straight or elbow connections for the pump end. I'd have suggested Heating Replacement Parts and Controls (HRPC) but they were bought out by Wolsley and I believe they are now absorbed into Controls Centre depots around the country.

I do hope there is a tap there, otherwise you are in one heck of a mess.

A hose with an elbow on one end may help. The hose pipe should not exit
the boiler case, rather the copper pipe from the tank should terminate
inside the case. Some pictures and details on the exact boiler may
help. Usually you can download a boiler's installation manual which
will tell you how the oil supply pipe (s) should be routed.
