also, dont use PTFE tape and paste together. they react with each other which will [b]eventually[/b] cause a leak.

flow from your boiler goes into port 'ab' when the heating control calls for heat, the water will divert and come out of port 'a'. when the cylinder stat calls for heat, the diverter valve will swing to port 'b' to feed the cylinder. if both hot water and central heating are calling then the valve w...

this is the method i use when coming across systems that have no drain off:-

clamp this to your lowest point, connect a hose and drain down.

when your finished, cut that little section out and replace with a yorkshire tee with a drain off while its drained down

dcc

it depends really, if i have to feed pipes under floorboards then hep2o is the biz! but i always use copper for any pipe on show.

sounds like the boiler is 'kettling' which can be caused by the pump not kicking in to take away the heat, or trapped air. since youve just taking off a radiator, im guessing its trapped air

dcc

before i start, what you have done to the vent is VERY VERY dangerous! remove the check valve immediately! height of the tank isnt your problem, its the way its been plumbed up. the correct way is as follows . . . (VENT)~~(FEED)~~(PUMP) and its recommended that this set up is within 150mm with this ...
