So does it keep filling the system to a set pressure? What happens if you get a big leak, split rad for instance. House flooded? Not being funny, just curious

Same as an open-vented system. How about using either in conjuntion with Water Block Shut Off Valve - 13756 - Isolating, Flow Control & Service | BES.co.uk (from what I can gather, this device stops flow if more than a pre-set value (5-50l) is exceeded in one go, but the instructions are slightly vague).

Essentially you have it Ric - with a not rocket science extra one way valve. Its taken 5 years and many £'s to set it up, using patent attorney and commercial lawyers to protect it EU wide and in the far east (selected areas). MFD is on sale now to non end user initially then B&Q and Amazon soon as its an out the box diy fit in 5 mins - It it is manufactured and backed by Flowflex largest manu of plumbing and heating fittings in Uk. Thats what my company do for myself and others who approach us with ideas. My patent is available for anybody to see world wide

how much per unit

 

[Rob Foster]

MFD price per unit - its not available to non end user yet I have offered to set up a discounted price to ukpf members so members can make a profit and do the fitting - when ukpf let me know its ok then off we go on here. At present its on sale to housing trusts etc who are pre-ordering 10+ with 24 hour delivery took one order for 100 for September delivery today - they have 5000 rentals

The many similar autofill systems that have been used on Commercial sytems for years have a Time limit / no of attempts to fill setting to stop this.

auto fill as you state are for commercial set up and are EFD the MFD has a lock out and reset

I reckon the Jepp Cone looks brilliant but maybe best for new installs as tricky to install when pan is in situ as others have said. But then again he did mention an allen key fitting? So that would be easy enough I reckon.

I'd probably still apply a very thin ring of plumbers mate on the outside between two of the ridges to take up difference in any tiny flaws, nobbles because not sure whether it expands so uniformly that it can be super tight but not fully water tight as is case with so many things.

Final consideration is flush cones cost a few quid and if the right one for the pan (euro/uk etc) is chosen and fitted correctly (plumbers mate (if using anything) so stays flexible not silicone which can leak after time) it has a good chance of lasting leak free and so this best be comfortably under a tenner.

 

[Rob Foster]

I think that - I would - want some feed back about my new product
perhaps we could send it to the OP who might feed it all back As I said Good Luck Chris Jepp
