hot water cylinder, which connector?

[1animal1]

Hi, I'm after a bit of advice on this part please. I'm looking to replace the connection to the lower central heating point on my cylinder. The bolt itself measures 1 1/2" with 22mm pipe coming out of it - presume also that it's a bolt with a male thread.

Can anyone confirm if this part will fit? JGHSP250 speedfit cylinder connector.

I am looking to use 2 speed fit elbows and new 22mm copper pipe to make the joint up but need to confirm the above part before stripping anything down.



Thanks

Tim

Sounds like you like to keep re-doing work for the sake of it lol

I just like reliability and the 8mm seems to get really bad reviews, plus it looks horrible! (not mentioning the missus lethal hoovering knocking it) - I have noticed in the short time that i have been in this house how long the rads take to warm up and presume that these smaller pipes have to make it less efficient in the long term? Surely that has to be the case when most of the 8mm fed rads are some of the furthest away in the system...

Purists, close your eyes....

Well it's taken you four days to do it, but you got there! :smile:
You could have just as easily done it in brass and copper fittings, because if you can get that plastic etc together, you can do it in all metal.
Thanks for getting back and letting us know you are sorted!

Get some lagging on it quick before anyone sees it!:smartass2:

If it's not leaking and you're happy with it fair play to ya.

Cheers chaps!

I must admit I was putting it off, easily done as this place is keeping me extremely busy. I took it all apart to find the elbow wouldn't fit, so ended up having to chip an inch out of the wall, luckily that wall will eventually be boarded and tiled as I make the airing cupboard into the a double shower. Now to drain it all down again and remove some rads for cleaning and Plastering.

Thanks for all the help so far

Ps I really do need to learn to solder. The push fit copper was an option but I was more worried about not being able to remove the joints upon fitting.
