Quick question re: immersaion cylinder

[jps71]

To use a indirect hot water cylinder as a direct cylinder do I have to blank off the 2 pipes for the inner coil or can I just add an immersion heater and connect the cold water in pipe and hot water out pipe.

Cheers Jim

Don't need to blank off indirect coil as it will be empty. Just fit an immersion.

strange thing is indirect cyls are cheaper than direct

Unless it is an ancient one and the coil is not reliable....

Economies of scale I suppose.

I was told years ago never to cap the primary's ALWAYS leave open as when hot the coil can split as it cant expand??
I always leave open in case

 

[Dan Robinson]

Can't see that happening meself, but on a new cylinder icapping would be unneccesary. On an old one it wouldn't matter...
