My first cylinder install with boiler

[jaydebruyne]

just wanted to share some pics of my first cylinder/boiler install.. I’m quite proud of myself. Place had electric heaters before. So brand new system, 3 level flat, 2 bathrooms, new gas run & meter, 21kw Baxi EcoBlue heat only, 250ltr unvented cylinder, 10 rad, s-plan system. Excuse the stray wires around the electronics, I’m going back tomorrow to tidy them up with some mini trunking.

Haha I know, annoying right!!! I’ll sort the discharge tomorrow.. gotta Flick the system anyway and tidy the cables.. I thought it was just a max of 600mm from the t&p Relief.. thanks for pointing that out shaun

 

[jaydebruyne]

I meant flush, not flick!! Haha

Looks good. Discharge isn't correct as Shaun said. But overall a tidy install.

Very tidy mate. How long did that all take? Just one question, is there much space above the vessels?

for what?

 

[Harvest Fields]

Recharging?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Recharging?

I always pull them off to recharge

 

[Harvest Fields]

Leave valves open once empty and charge in situ me.

Enough space to be able to remove them if they need replacing or stick a pump in if need recharging.. ah mate, time is my nemesis, all in it probably took me about 10/11 days. I’m not the quickest guy in the world!!

 

[jaydebruyne]

I don’t bother.. I just drain the pressure and recharge where they are

Faster than me

 

[jaydebruyne]

Lol you know what.. I was really excited to do it as it was my first fresh system and the wiring was no issue.. wired it up, switched it on and everything worked!! Happy days! Had to check the cylinder stat wiring as I’ve never done that before but yeah.. probably the easiest part of the whole job.. who’d have thought eh

I love wiring a fresh centre where nobody else has ever been. Like a fresh virgins honey pot.
