Peteheat says its ok to have the pump fitted on the feed and expansion pipe.
My advice would be stick with the MI's.
What stove have you fitted?

More important is, where is this stove installed? .... Just in case it is in a house next door to me! Lol! :grin:
Why are you doing work that you obviously have no experience in. The key is safety first and it appears from your posts that it is not safe.
You'd have been better teaming up with somebody with good experience of safe installs, would have set you up a treat. Everybody's gotta learn somehow.

That's what I was thinking too lol
Glad it's not near me
Mr flux I guess you plumb in the south as any decent plumber would not do that in the north

Connect a solid fuel boiler up with a vent and no cold feed/expansion the water will simply boil off. I know that because I've done it.
After that its stress relief time for the welds.
Did you read what peteheat wrote on the bs6700 thread? That guy knows his stuff.

Where is it going to boil off to if you seal it?
There are ways to do this properly as i'm sure you are aware but none are yet approved for use in the uk.
Do what ever you feel right for you but don't encourage others who know no better to indulge in your experiments.

So as far as I can see it a stove with no themostat control

If a stove with thermostat control you need an heat leak rad of at least 10% what size for a stove with no control at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Through the vent.
Broseley fires have scws approved for use in the uk.
What experiments?

Ok if water is boiled off out of vent how does this get replaced? You need to have a read of the requirements for solid fuel boilers in the UK. This is a UK based forum and we have to conform to the requirements, if you are outside the uk that is up to you, carry on, but don't encurage other to follow

Someone said its dangerous. Its not. I'm well aware of the regs.

If aware of the regs how come you refuse to comply with them?
N

No one can fully comply with regs. But you should comply with MI's where possible.

I apologise for misreading your post. I saw only "no cold feed/expansion" and thought you meant sealed.
You are still encouraging practices of which not many people are aware of the consequences if not done correctly.
Why?
E
ecowarm
And who MI's do you comly with? all manufacturers base their instuctions on the the regs unless of coures you fit some dodgy chinese carp
E

What solid fuel stove manufactorer would allow a vent only no cold feed???????
N
Nordio
I would encourage Mr Flux to adhere to the MI's. But they seem to be scant on information regarding the piping layout.
I'd also recommend a clear and unobstructed path to the boiler.

That is because they expect it to be fitted by someone with some idea of the regs

Some allow neither. Sealed up.
