No Hot Water!

[cdavie2002]

Project started & abandoned.

I have been left with a property with no hot water. Contractor was asked to install a new un-vented immersion tank for hot water only.

After been without hot water for 2months, its now going to be an additional 2months before any of the local plumbers' can even think about starting work.

I need some advice so i can just do the work myself. I cant have this occupied property without hot water for the festive period.

All the switch wiring is in place. I need to complete the shopping list. Please can soemone provide me with the advice on the parts i need?

-120 ltr Un-vented Tank
-15mm Copper pipe
-Immersion

Do i need an expansion tank?

Thanks in advance.
Chris

The first thing you need is someone qualified to fit an unvented cylinder
G3 is the requirement.

If its unvented, then you can't do the work yourself. You need the G3 qualification to do that legally.

Where in the country are you? One of the qualified guys on the forum may be nearby.

This isn't a DIY job - done wrong, they really are quite dangerous.

Do not attempt this yourself!! Watch some videos on line and see why. BIG BOOM!!

Where are you based?

You could end up without a roof if you attempt this yourself.

As above. Unvented cylinders are not to be fitted by non competent persons under part G3 of the building regulations.
