So, I'm looking to move from a gravity fed system to a sealed, and move the cylinder and boiler to the opposite side of the property!
I'm wondering if you guys can help advise on pipe runs, so I can do this part myself. I know its tricky do such a think without looking in person but i've attempted to do some drawings and taken some pictures and can do more if needed!
What I'm trying to find out is if i run 3 new 22mm pipes from the old cylinder location to the new, then extend the current C/H pipework to the new location, should that be enough to reconnect everything?
The other question is the cold mains is a reasonably long run, it will have to go from the airing cupboard, back to the boiler area (for balancing i believe), and then back to supply the cold feeds. Is this ok in 22mm (as what is existing), or should i go down the route of having to move the mains to the new location and run it in 28mm to the airing cupboard?
I've attached some pictures of the landing area, existing boiler and existing pipework in airing cupboard. I can't see where the 28mm flow/return go yet as they aren't in the landing joist bays, so will need to take the floor up in the airing cupboard (next job). I'm a little confused as to how the return to boiler is 28mm when the c/h pipework goes from 28 > 22 > 15 > 8. I've not yet found where it goes back to 28mm
thanks in advance!
My plan!
Airing cupboard pipework
Existing boiler supply
22mm C/H pipework in landing
C/H now 15mm with 8mm tees
