hi guys, ( but according to pgdb, meter clearances are NOT gas fitting in the context of nzs5261) if it is not `gasfitting` then what is it, i would take the information from the gas supplier as `an acceptable solution` which i am sure that they would back in a dispute,cheers

hi guys/Bowtieboy,you say:(i power flued water heater can be mounted 300 mm to the side of a window)
 That is only if the unit is 200m/j or less otherwise it is 1500mm.  Rheem have on special at Micos a 27ltr unit at the moment  that is 205mj per hr, don`t get caught out and fit them to close.  Most of the places that i fit w/heates to do not have enough space between windows to use them,cheers

over 200mj fan assisted is 500 mm horizontally from openings 

Robbo
this was amended in may '05' to 500mm

hi guys, found the amendment, i had it all the time on the computer but had`nt taken much notice of the updates,cheers

just remember their quote,it's not cost effective to provide any information or advise!

hear hear!!


 

Foggy mate, they want you to make mistakes, or they can't call us incompetent and insist on CPD and disciplinary fee's(some of which are illegal!).....I asked at a "standards" meeting why it wasn't written in plain English, the guy taking the meeting told me that they did just wasn't anyone off the street to be able to read it!

This was just after I asked why in the UK we are banned from running gas pipe in a wall, it is meant to be sleeved and sealed both ends, if it just passes through a wall.....his reply and I kid you not was...........

The difference between NZ and the UK is that you have cavity walls in Britain and here they are classed as a wall cavity.....

A guy who co-authored the NZ 5261 is an investigator, this same cunt, said that the system wouldn't fail just because of me and that before I dob anyone in I should make sure my own house is in order.....this was said at an interview for an explosion. when I tried to tell him about my old boss....who I found out later had his ticket granted after one oral exam....by the same investigator.


Here's one for you, how come you can have a mechanical inlet to a building 1000mm above a power flue, the table 16 specifically mentions a spa blower(which is actually a sucker, not blower, from out side to inside), a powerful vacuum fan sucking outside atmosphere into a (in most cases) one of the smallest rooms in a home, by many cubic meters per minute, a room which when in use will be full of steam coming from the bath that the occupier is actually sat in, the blower only operating when they are sat in it, literally placing the outside atmosphere literally under his/her nose.........but a passive "non" sucking open window has to be 1500mm above a powered flue.......there is no consistency or logic in this.....but I got called incompetent by Bickers in my local paper after answering and blowing away 42 charges out of 44 in a very biased hearing, the last charge being for a clearance to a window............they are full of shit mate and want you to fail if it suits their agenda. Been there got the tee shirt.

If it was written in plain English and no one made mistakes they would become redundant, all done at a risk to the public.....yeah nice up standing people, real leaders.
