i took the stopper of the vertical pipe last week and got scolded with hot water. without stopper it will just keep pumping out the water.

none of the diagrams online match my system, that's why I am asking for advice.

It is only a vent pipe because I added a pipe into the network because I thought I may need to let air out from the highest point in the loop. It's just a vertical pipe. The original pipe run was in the floor, so I guess never needed it. Do I actually need it and should it then just simply loop...

Thanks. All seems to have sorted itself out. I have left a stopper on the vent pipe. But am convinced I didn't need to have put in a vent pipe in the first place. The boiler may have a built in vent? Anyhow all working for a couple of weeks now, so very happy. Thanks for advice.

Seem to be getting heat to radiators. Commissioning one by one. Very slow, but might be okay when all done.

Interesting occurrence. Just had leak from my vent pipe so clearly there is enough pressure(?) to push water round the system, or at least into the system but it chose the vent pipe rather than circulating/ sucking in from the return loop. At least the water was hot! Just a set loft now. Topped...

I think I have an airlock in my CH. I've just replaced pipes to radiators. Had a leak in microbore in concrete floor, so replaced all pipes by placing in loft - it's a bungalow. Gravity fed system and worried header tank may now not be high enough. bled radiators, but obviously they are no...

Thanks, thats what I had hoped. Just build it. It's a concrete floor. Do I actually need a chimney (flue blocks/liner etc) to let out any gases? I already put in place air vent to outside (to draw air in). Cheers

This might be too big a question, but any steer gratefully recieved. I recently moved into a bungalow with gas central heating and no fireplaces or chimneys. We brought with us from our old house a nice modern gas fire with the intention of installing it. I have space in the living room...
