What size is the thread on ex vessel.

[solutions]

Anybody know what the typical flat combi expansion vessel spigot size is? I dont have one to hand but im thinking 3/8" bsp? Want to replace internal with external but would like to attach to original internal pipe work so as not to have to remove and move the return service valve to the boiler.

Seems to vary,
cover your bases and get the range of sizes.
a few quid as a spare for the future will pay itself back tenfold when you need it!

Externals are usually 3/4" internals I've seen sizes between 1/4" and 1"

how can you attach it to the internal pipework how will you bring it out of the boiler case?

Back down beside the service valves and then left.

Saw one on an alpha where someone had connected a extra long flexi from inside boiler case to new external vessel
