Fibreglass 5 gallon tank

[Sharp Point]

Evening all,

Where would one source one of these, are they available?

Thanks

Fibreglass ?? What for ??

 

[Sharp Point]

Lol.... I knew somebody would have to ask. About to start the plant room of a large new build in the basement, my plan is to put both the pressure relief’s from the unvented and boiler into it, have a 1” overflow from it into a sanicom 2.

 

[Sharp Point]

And yes the sanicom can take very hot water for short periods, but me and the customer are thinking of ways to activate an audible alarm to detect if the unvented blows off the temperature relief valve into it. Maybe a heat sensor on the lid of the tank or a float sensor to start the alarm

Dunno, just trying to cover all bases

Sani con not rated for boiler or unvented or condy That's what I was told from sani

Have a look at pump house

We had the saniflo rep out on site in the boiler room , who specc’d the sanicom2

Worth knowing if its true , as Shaun says , the only one I know of is pump house

So it's rated at 100dc for 30mins plus ?

It says 90 degrees intermittently Shaun

So no then not acceptable for an unvented

It was specc’d by the sales rep Shaun

If rpm confirms it I will eat my words

 

[Sharp Point]

If rpm confirms it..... the Rubbish is going to hit the fan, as it’s already been bought. The rep was quite memorable, he didn’t shut up lol

I’ve never known of a temperature relief valve go off, not saying they don’t .... but the high limit would kick in and close the zone valve and within 10 minutes cold water would’ve emptied the hot water, that’s why I’m asking about the fibreglass tank with copper overflow.
Have you lot thought of the 1000’s of f&e plastic tanks on solid fuel systems, that hold near boiling water

What happens if port valve fails have to design system to cope when they fail

Also solid fuel are specd at copper or steel also copper floats

Yes I know, but I bet 90% are in flimsy plastic tanks.

If the valve fails, the limit is the boiler output temp....which will be about 70 degrees.

 

[Sharp Point]

Vessel perished, it’ll dribble out the cold relief.

That's if the stat is new it's one of those things it could might never do but it could

Bloody hope so, it’s a brand new Worcester Bosch.
You worry to much lol.

I’m not in the habit of doing things unsafe. I’m trying to cover all bases, hence the sensor business. I’ll put up some piccies shortly of the progress

 

[ShaunCorbs]

I would wait on installing the sani tho
