Thanks spraggo
I've spoken to my father and discussed fitting an auto-vent in the airing cupboard.
When partially draining the system to fit the new vent, will the pump itself need to be bled from the big screw in the centre?
Thanks once again spraggo 8)
The current vent is a Delcop 854-15, I believe it is fitted to a 15mm tail (is that the correct terminology?).
Here's the best picture I took of it:
Is it simply a case of de-soldering the vent and soldering a new auto-vent on top of the pipe?

Sorry spraggo, I forgot to mention I just googled aerjec on the internet and got the diagram from a PDF file.
I have no idea if the one installed in my parents' airing cupboard is a real aerjec or a knock-off. It has no identifying marks or writing on it that I could see (and it's tucked...
Hi

Two pipes come from the loft and join together in a large connection, I think the RGI called it an air seperator. The...
Hi
The three-way valve is directly above the pump, I don't think there is a bypass. Can you tell from these pictures?
I moved the lever on the valve all the way to the left just before I took the photos, it was originally about a third of the way along from the left. Does it...
Hello everyone
My parents have a wall-hung Ideal Classic RS250 boiler as part of an open vented system. For quite few months it has been making 'flushing' and 'gurgling' noises.
The boiler downstairs in a utility room, hung on an external wall with a horizontal flue passing through the...
