Boiler testing:

·         For hydraulic boiler tests, pressure vessel blanking plates require a male 5/16” x 32tpi thread to connect to the club’s hydraulic test equipment.  Members should discuss test requirements with John Berry when booking in.

·         Members are encouraged to make a £5 donation to club funds after a successful boiler test.
