I am replacing an old vented direct hot water cylinder.
Old clyinder measures 900mm high 550mm diameter (including insulation). Can't measure the actual cylinder due to the insulation. Feed tapping is 150mm off floor.
The new cylinder is "Gledhill Replacyl Stainless Steel Vented Cylinder 900mm x 450mm - Direct Connection".
First question: Is the catalogue size of the new cylinder including insulation or without?
If the catalogue dims are excluding the insulation then the cylinders will be very close.
If not, diameters are 100mm off. 50mm between the centre and the side so pipes would need to be adjusted 25mm each.
Second question: I think 25mm adjustment on existing copper pipes is doable without damaging anything, any feedback?
