Hi all,
I have a system boiler with a Megaflow hot water tank and quite a few radiators (approx. 16). My boiler seems to be pretty conventionally plumbed in except for one small bit of pipe.
I've marked it with a red dotted line on the drawing below:
I don't understand what purpose this serves as surely it allows loads of water to take the simplest path back the the boiler without ever being circulated to the radiators or hot water cylinder.
The red circle is an isolation valve, I assume this is partially closed to 'balance' the hot water tank in a similar way to the radiators?
Anybody able to explain this to me?
Thanks
