Heat only boilers and confusion

As we said fella we weren’t having a go and we all have to learn somewhere Do you have any guys with experience that you can call upon
 
Thats what you need mate. Also I know it’s a bit of a backwards way of doing it But try registering with your local college on an introduction to a Plumbing and you can learn all about the background to the systems
 
There's never a daft question as far as i'm concerned.

Better to ask and be wiser/safer for it instead of just plowing on ahead without a scooby and making needless mistake's or worse injuring yourself or others.

(Been there and got tee-shirt from it, came off a lot lighter in the pocket so always aware now.
Also some customer's are sneaky bar-stewards and can cause mysterious leaks/damage so a few phot's if working somewhere new is always a good move.)

Every day is a school day as far as i'm concerned & as long as you keep an inquisitive mind and are switched on there is always something new to learn.

Cheer's,

Forgot to add, if you can look inside a "heat only" boiler beside a "system boiler" you will immediately see the piping difference's and logic to the layout which helps to put the theory in context.

Old scrappy or removed boilers can let you tinker to your hearts content without worry about damage or if you have some spare bits leftover when you are learning.
 
I personally only fit a system boiler if I lack space to fit an external pump expansion vessel etc. In the future it's generally easier and cheaper to replace external parts. On oil I would fit a system boiler as Grant's are awkward and have 2.5 bar pressure reliefs.

Yes you can fit most heat only boilers to most vented/unvented cylinders etc.
 

We recommend City Plumbing Supplies, BES, and Plumbing Superstore for all plumbing supplies.
