Never fitted a vented stainless steel cylinder but can't see why not to if you can get cheaper than copper

i have never fitted one too , just waiting on conformation on a job and thinking cold I fit one of them as I did not specify to client of the make of the cylinder ,and they have not asked for copper ! But will sent them e mail letting them know what they will get !

Cylinders a cylinder, if it's got the same gaurantee as the copper, same size and connections as the copper and cheaper than the copper then it's worth a try. In my book anyway.

Just can't imaging the plumber ripping it out in 10years with the sad face !

 

[SimonG]

Won't be too bad, just wait until somebody develops a plastic hot water cylinder out of recycled car tires. Now there's an opening!

if your fitting a stainless stan bear in mind you cant use it on gravity, fully pumped only

merchants near me is doing stainless vented 36 x 18 cylinder (rm aquastel) for £50 less than a copper one and it has a 10 year guarantee.

Why is that then mate ?

[SafeGasInstall]

I fitted my first stainless steel cylinder on Friday. Much better strength to it than copper and the fittings came pre-assembled to the cylinder, eliminating the risk of annoying leaks we've all had when filling these things up. Won't be fitting copper cylinders again if I stainless steel ones stay as cheap as they are.

[SafeGasInstall]
