Another Unvented HWS question

[BigBurner]

Have been to properties where the cylinders he likes have caused damage due to ongoing leaks and corrosion.

Did they kill people and destroy the house? All cylinders can leak.

That's why Gledhill Sludge buckets have about 1% of the market for the last 30 years.

The trade don't like them because they are trouble, and they never will.

You want to see British bodies as you have no engineering skills to assess such operations.

NO JUST A PICTURE OF A UK UNVENTED INSTALLATION THAT HAS EXPLODED
but your simple mind cannot get that!

SO POST UP OR SHUT UP - YOUR THE IDIOT WITH NO SKILLS / QUALIFICATIONS

You're saying that of the 120,000 RGI's, 119,000 don't understand them. Interesting.

Surely it's 1,000 don't understand them. Why else would they fit them?

About right. You only have to read the nonsense on this forum.

Thats right, 99.9% of it from you

I am glad to hear that at last you have realised how your postings are perceived.

I am surprised that you gave up the name of Dr Drivel !

I thought that was the most apt name for your scribblings !

Hi Zippy

An unvented cylinder will way slightly more than your vented one as they are often steel rather than copper - its the volume of water that makes up the most of the weight though.

Pipework and boiler will be fine.

Unvented cylinders need a discharge pipe that runs from the cylinder usually out to a grid.

Unvented cylinders require good pressure and flow rate from the water main to work correctly.

Building Regulations recognise that unvented cylinders must be correctly installed and maintained (just like gas appliances) and so they require that only registered installers who have been trained and assessed can install or maintain them. Your plumber should hold a G3 Unvented Hot Water card and you should check that it is valid by contacting the awarding body. Qualification needs to be renewed every 5 years. Building regulations require a specific group of safety controls to be installed to prevent aything from going wrong - if one control fails then the next one should cut in etc. (again exactly like a gas appliance).

The difference is that when an unvented cylinder fails the results are catastrophic, like the side of the house coming down.

You forgot to mention the annual service charge to service potentially dangerous explosive cylinder, which can be £100 per ann.

WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE PICTURE OF AN EXPLODED UK CYLINDER
how would you know what it cost as you have no qualification to do the work and I can tell you that like everything else you spout off about YOU'RE WRONG ON THIS AS WELL

You seem unable to assimilate what I have told you several times that we charge only £35 to service an unvented cylinder when done at the same time as a gas appliance.

Others charge well more than that. The going rate around £100. If no gas in the house then this potential bomb is costing you £100 per year - because some bathroom changer wanted a little earner each year. Have a few of them around and life is easy for these irresponsible people.
