Thank you. It looks like You have all pipes that you need we just couldn’t see them all.

How is the vent pipe done in that tank?
Pipe insulation needed.
Not a complaint - and perfectly acceptable, but seems plumbers have to use solder elbows because they can't use a bending machine to do more than one square bend on each piece of pipe.

I would say it is piped into the top of the f&e and goes up into the air @Best

Better that the vent directs any hot water downwards into the tank water I would have thought.

Even if that is true. Would you have left it like that?

If I had installed it, no, that's messy and why not centre it on the hatch is beyond me. But I wouldn't call it unsafe. Assuming the loft hatch is fixed in some way, and even if not then it's probably okay from a technical perspective.

Am I missing something where's the connection and vent ?

Whats a bending machine?

Whats a bending machine?

It's a long pole which you bend the pipe around, having filled the pipe with a bending spring. Saves strain on your knees. Often has wires or a lamp attached to the top to make it look like a lamp-post or telegraph/electrical pole.
