Coiless cylinder

[billybongo]

Hello all , can you tell me if going back in the day cylinders that worked of back boilers had no coil in other words the ho****er and the water from backboiler are the same .
A friend just changed an emmersion for is father in law and said this was the case , it also had some gravity fed rads off it , surely it would all scale up , just courious .

Swear filter hot water.

 

[Chalked]

Yes. They were direct and heated from a back boiler. They only did the hot water and the balck boiler was normally made of copper.

look at the word in the middle when you put hot water as one word

 

[stevetheplumber]

no way you could have rads working of them usually just a brass towel rail
