Hi
Helping a friend... The filler loop has been put on with a spanner rather than hand tightened, but I am curious about configuration... See photo.
Cold comes from the right, goes up hose and then down into a non return valve. That bit us what I would expect.
But it is T junction so water pipe continues and then goes up into the boiler. It then seem to be capped off at front of boiler.
I can understand that there may be older redundant piping before boiler. But why wouldn't it be capped before boiler.
The only other relevant info I think, is that both sets of taps toilet and kitchen sink are mixer taps. I've just seen that bathroom mixer only has one pipe. So it seems that everything is mixed at the boiler end so maybe it isn't capped after all.
I have mixer taps but these are fed by two pipes.
Just for my own sanity, is the set up at my friend's house common.
I had probably not tinker as it is different to what I have
Thanks for any info. I'm just trying to improve my undestanding
