Hmm!

Is it an old house? It was quite common to do that as well as feed the hot water from the vent pipe, leaving the system with no free flowing vent pipe.

The cylinders sometimes imploded, they looked spectacular when you opened the cupboard and all that was there was a copper cartwheel instead of a cylinder. Once you have seen it in real life, like many of the water by laws, you then know why they write them.

Hi, Yes it should, as under certain conditions it is would be possible to drain the cylinder via the bath tap. Which in turn can add to further problems.
