    Calculating Vent Pipe heights?

    Hi there, When calculating the height of the vent pipe for a CWSC, do you take the 'head' from the water level of the CWSC to the bottom of the hot water storage tank or to the lowest draw off point. I think it's the later but I'm doubting myself. Thanks in advance :-)

    I am installing a Hydroboil plus and have read the instructions about the vent. Every similar set up i have seen has the vent going into the sink. What are peoples opinions on this. It is certainly the easiest way to do it. Having done my G3 and learnt all about D2 pipework it doesn't seem...

If this is the way these boilers sound? Just noticed this the other day as its in the garage. A...

    What is this below the automatic air vent valve?

    The (apparently rotated) picture shows my badly scaled up automatic airvent valve just a few cm downstream from the pump. I have some water hammer (hydraulic shock) when the pump goes off and this scaled up air vent is my prime suspect. I am ready to drain the system down and screw this old...

    Combi on open vent?

    Just been to work on an oil combi which went in when the house was built just 7 years ago. Plumbed in on open vent? Couldn't believe it! I guess it will always have .6 bar but why would anyone do that? F&E tank full of botany as pump on no.3. Anyone done/ seen this?

    Capping off a vent pipe

    F&E tank, big house, full of slime, vent capped off. Why would someone do that? Boiler wired up weird too, on HW, tank stat opens 2PV but doesn't turn boiler on, valve only wired to the stat. Any logic in this? Cable runs are easy, boiler directly below cylinder. Cheers

    Hello folks, converting open vent system to sealed heating system (hot water to remain vented) - the boiler is fine to convert (glowworm ultimate), as is cylinder. I know it needs expansion vessel, safety valve, gauge, filling loop etc. Initial query: can the safety valve go in the airing...

    Bunging the cold feed and vent

    Whats the point of this when you want to change a rad and re-pipe? All it does is hold the water in the f and e tank. The existing rad pipework drains anyway with the pipework under the floor and when re-filling the system if there is any carp in there this will still drop into the pipework...
