all the old cyls I have replaced that pinhole are on solid bases, all those on battens seem to go on forever, never replaced one on battens yet, so I'll be continuing to wack em on battens.

Where's the job security in that?! You want the installation to last long enough so no-one can blame you, but short enough that you get regular work...

Isn't that how boiler manufacturers design boilers there days?

And push fit waste pipes

Thanks for all the discussion. The answer to my question seems to be yes ...or no! I do appreciate the comment that putting a cylinder onto, e.g. a concrete floor that might harbour moisture, might well lead to enhanced corrosion if the cylinder is allowed to go cold and water condenses on it. I think that I'll go for the safest option which would be to use a sufficient number of battens to spread the load and avoid cylinder damage. Many thanks to all respondents for your useful advice.

Yes its gone on a bit lol, if i was you , a quick ring to the cylinder manufacturers would be best, go on their advice.

Just put something under it, piece of ply. If you put it straight on a concrete floor, the concrete will eat the copper.
