Hi All,
I've popped over from the electricians forum for some advice. I was at a house today to install the wiring for a shower pump that the customer was installing, customer asks me if I had a hole cutter he could borrow to drill a hole in the header tank for his cold feed. When I looked at the tank it looked like it was made of asbestos about 12mm thick, at this point I said I think we need some expert advise regarding the tank. This tank is feeding the hot water cylinder and will feed the cold for the shower from this new hole, all other cold is direct from the mains. Is this tank safe, (ie asbestos) or are ther any regulations stating it need to be replaced with a new plastic one.
Thanks in advance.
