Im planning an (oil) install on a large house, heating calc suggests 40Kw. Currently in there is a 20/25 outputting on 22mm only (used to be an old cottage but extended 15 years ago). Ill run 28mm out of the boiler as far as poss.
Question is, do I keep the gravity or cap it off and go sealed - Im nervous about pressurising an old system. I cant see the point of pressure testing as any damage is often found after time rather than straight away.
Also the f&e tank shows tide marks which do not reach the overflow which suggests that the system design must be ok?
Im mainly an oil boiler guy rather than a system designer so would value your experience here...
Tanks velly much.
