Firstly, this is not a question requiring a solution - its just to satisfy my curiosity....!
I am replacing a 20 year old oil boiler which had 4 pipes running to it - indiect cylinder coil F&R, CH F&R. I was powerflushing the system today and couldn't understand why the bathroom rad (immediately above the boiler) wouldn't flush.
To cut a long story short, it transpires that the bathroom rad isn't connected to the CH circuit at all - its T-d off the coil circuit.
So, my simple question is was it standard practice 20 years ago to fire up the bathroom rad at the same time as the dhw (presumably to dry towels, etc??) or is this a one-off?
Thanks!
