REPLACEMENT OF PARTS
Mec 140
• Remove screw securing cover onto gas valve
module,
see diagram 9.
• Remove cover and disconnect multi-plug from
module.
• Disconnect ignition and flame sense leads from
module.
• Withdraw module from gas valve.
• Fit replacement module, ensuring it is of the cor-
rect type for the boiler, in reverse order to removal.
• Reconnect ignition and flame sense leads, the
connections are uniquely sized to ensure correct
replacement.
• Reconnect multi-plug onto replacement module.
• Refit cover ensuring all sealing grommets are cor-
rectly located in module body.
To replace gas valve
• Ensure that gas supply to boiler is turned off at
gas cock.
• Remove gas valve module as described previ-
ously.
• Disconnect electrical connections to gas valve
modulating coil,
see diagram 9.
• Undo main gas supply nut from main burner.
Note:
The washer must be kept for use on
reassembly.
• Undo main gas union nut between gas valve sup-
ply pipe and gas inlet valve.
Note:
The washer must be kept for use on
reassembly.
• Disconnect plastic sensing pipe from gas valve
to base of sealed chamber.
• Unscrew and remove screws securing gas valve
bracket to boiler frame.
• Withdraw gas valve assembly.
• Using old gas valve as a guide, transfer gas pipes
from old gas valve to replacement gas valve.
• Fit replacement gas valve into boiler.
• Reconnect gas pipes in reverse order to removal.
• Refit electrical connections in reverse order to re-
moval, the polarity of the wires to the modulating
coil is not important.
To replace modulating coil
• Ensure that gas supply to boiler is turned off at
gas cock.
• Disconnect electrical connections to gas valve
modulating coil,
see diagram 9.
• Undo two screws securing modulating coil to gas
valve and remove coil.

coil is not important.
To replace central heating safety valve
If safety valve seating is damaged, it will be neces-
sary to replace safety valve as a complete unit,
repair is not possible.
• Drain down heating circuit of boiler only as de-
scribed previously.
• Disconnect safety valve discharge pipe from
safety valve.
• Remove wire clip securing safety valve to fixing
jig and remove safety valve,
see diagram 10.
• Fit replacement safety valve in reverse order to
removal.
Note
: Apply a small quantity of silicon grease to
the safety valve 'O' ring prior to fitting.
• Open isolating valves on flow and return connec-
tions, refill, vent and pressurise boiler.
• Check for leaks.
To replace storage vessel safety valve
If safety valve seating is damaged, it will be neces-
sary to replace safety valve as a complete unit,
repair is not possible.
• Drain down hot water circuit of boiler only as de-
scribed previously.
• Disconnect safety valve discharge pipe from
safety valve.
• Remove wire clip securing safety valve to fixing
jig and remove safety valve,
see diagram 10.
• Fit replacement safety valve in reverse order to
removal.
