automatic bypass baxi bahama

[fdead]

i have a baxi bahama combi boiler and the instructions say it has an abv (auto bypass) fited internally within the boiler

i have aquired a stand alone abv valve

would fitting this valve be of any benefit to my system ???????

thanks

Sure thats what its called?, cant find that in my manual.

If you mean the actuator, (grey box about 3x2x2" with a wire out of the top) that sits on the left hand side then possibly, but i'm sure a) it will have a model number on it, and b) someone here will know better than me.

IIRC the Bahama doesn't have an integral by-pass. The last one I looked at had an external one so I think you may have misread the instructions.

what is IIRC ????
the instructions do say it has an internal one but seen as i've got an external 1 to hand wondered if it would be of any advantage to fit...
thanks

You can look up things like that with Google. Only takes a few seconds...Oh, please don't say "What is Google?"

Incidentally, since you have read the manual, I fail to see why your asking the question! The manual makes it clear:-

The boiler has an integral pre-set bypass and in most cases this should suffice. However in certain circumstances, e.g. on systems where there is a high resistance and TRV's are fitted to all the radiators it may be necessary to fit an external by-pass. This should be of the automatic type and not a gate valve or ball type valve.
