Fire hole door fitted and latched closed |
Left hand bracket, one of the two for supporting the door |
With the nuts in the way, there's not a lot of space to swing an angle grinder; however, this seemed a better option than potentially breaking the hydraulically-tested boiler seal by removing a nut or two. The upper stud for each bracket was thus shortened to allow the brackets to be fitted and a nut to be squeezed in.
Fire hole door open. Tab for latching the door closed is in the lower right. |
It is held open by the rather lethal looking hook at the top left of the photo. (It's not really that big; it was just a lot closer to the camera!).
The short spigot protruding from the protruding bar is to attach a chain to lift the door open from its closed position - at least I think that's what it's for! It probably is because the door is mainly Aluminium and quite light in weight.
Thoughts anyone?
