I did get my boiler yesterday, nice to meet dean and Isabelle again. The boiler didn't look that heavy when Dean and Co. put it into the car. When I got home I realised how out of shape I must be, then I read the instructions, over a 100kg!!!

Anyway it's onwards and upwards from here.

But, in the box are two fuseable plugs, one is said to be a spare so what plug goes into the tube plate before fitting the smoke box onto the boiler?

Likewise which kit are the wash out plugs in?

Richard,
I asked the same question to Steve, apparently the plugs come in kit 20, he thinks.
Steve told me that they can be fitted after all the other parts up to kit 20 have been fitted.
As you say, b****y heavy bit of kit, mind you that means quality.

Forgot to say one of the 5 plugs go in the smoke box end.
