Hi all.
I've done something I don't do much of today. Fitted a combination boiler.
I tend to fit system and HO boilers. To give you an idea, the last combi I fitted was during the scrappage scheme.
My question is:
Does anyone use the redundant flow to the cylinder coil to knit into the old hot outlet from the cylinder?
I've had a hell of a day, up in the loft, running the new 15mm feed through to the airing cupboard. (The loft was stuffed with junk).
When I was a lad, I worked with an engineer who did utilise the redundant flow to the coil, infact he got me to knit that in why he plumbed in the boiler. Anyway, my father (who this engineer worked for at the time) got it in the neck as the ho****er was running a bit black (not suprising considering the state of most primary water).
Is this common practise? I could have saved myself a good bit of time, and a few lengths of copper today, but wanted it all new.
Any replies gratefully received.
Danny
