Same brand, other name: finding your parts abroad
Boiler brands travel under different names across Europe. The part is often the same — only the label differs.
Vaillant Group sells as Saunier Duval, Bulex, Glow-worm and AWB; Bosch as Junkers, Nefit, Buderus, ELM Leblanc and Worcester Bosch; BDR Thermea as Remeha, Baxi, De Dietrich and Brötje. We hold 4.105 Vaillant, 2.886 Bosch and 5.221 Remeha parts. Search by manufacturer part number, not by brand name.
The most common question from customers abroad: “I know this boiler under another name — do you have parts?” Often yes, under the group’s name. Sometimes no, and then we say so.

5.221 Remeha partsA circulation pump, three-way valve or sensor you know under a Glow-worm number may sit in our catalogue under a Vaillant number. Same part, same factory, different label. That is why we search by manufacturer part number.
Three ways to find your part
1. Search the manufacturer part number
It is printed on the old part or in your service report. Type it into the catalogue: if we stock it under another brand name, it shows up anyway.
2. Choose the universal part
Pumps, expansion vessels, thermostats, air vents, siphons and gauges are rarely brand-specific. Gas parts are — explicitly.
3. Send us the rating plate
A photo to info@instalpunt.nl with a short description of the fault. We look up the part number and tell you whether we can supply it. If we cannot, we say so — you move on faster.
Frequently asked questions
I have a Worcester Bosch or Glow-worm boiler from the UK. Can I get parts here?
We do not ship outside the EU, so a boiler in the UK is out of reach. If you have moved to the EU and brought the appliance, the group link helps: Worcester Bosch is Bosch (2.886 parts), Glow-worm is Vaillant Group (4.105 parts). Search by the manufacturer part number, not the brand name.
Which regional names belong to which group?
Vaillant Group: Vaillant, Saunier Duval (France), Bulex (Belgium), Glow-worm (UK), AWB (Netherlands), Protherm. Bosch: Bosch, Junkers, Nefit (Netherlands), Buderus, ELM Leblanc (France), Worcester Bosch (UK). BDR Thermea: Remeha, Baxi, De Dietrich (France), Brötje (Germany). Within a group many part numbers are shared; across groups they are not.
What if my brand is not in the catalogue at all?
Some brands — Chaffoteaux, Frisquet, Ariston, Ideal, Vokera — are not in our catalogue and we say so. Universal parts (circulation pumps, expansion vessels, room thermostats, air vents, siphons, gauges) still fit most boilers if size and connection match. Gas parts must be genuine and fitted by a qualified installer.
