    Hi guys years ago grants used to ship an extra long oil line with the boilers. I have come across a few boilers lately where the copper pipe enters the back of the boiler and this extra long pipe then goes down the side of the boiler to the burner. Just wondering can these long hoses be got anywhere? Its a pain running extra copper to the front to suit the shorter lines sometimes. Think they were about 1.2M in length. Any help would be appreciated.

    Flex Oil line should only start and end near the burner to allow for removal of burner. IMHO
    Heat-tech.ie & HWOS have the long oil lines.
    If totaly stuck you can add an extra oil line useing a 10mm312 (female to male straight )
    Oil lines under boiler ( heatpacks & utility and kitchen press units ) are often rusted to sh1t and very prone to leaks if disturbed. I always check where the tank and shutoff valve is first. I've learnt the hard way !!
