replacing dhw cylider refill

[sitja]

Hi guys will be replacing dhw at weekend, i have never done this before but hoping all goes well.. Im just curious to know about the refill of the system any recommendations will help as i expect this is where experience comes into play.

Hopeing all goes well with replacing and fitting (system is already drained just waiting for cylinder although left old cylinder in place as id no blanks to blank off ends the day i drained)

But back to my point when im refilling i plan to turn cold feed to dhw on and have hot taps open at this time when cylinder is filling (is this ok?). While thats filling im going to allow water back into the f&e tank and start by venting the downstairs radiators and then work up to the upstairs radiators (is this ok?). Obviously throughout i will be checking any joints i have made to make sure there are no leaks. I have probably missed someting somewhere along the lines so anyone with experience in this field feel free to share there ideas. Thank you.

Hi

After fitting new cylinder, refill DHW first, with hot taps open. This is to check for leak on connectors.

Once the cylinder is full and no leak found, you can refill heating side, bleed radiators downstair then work all the way up, ensure, if fitted, motorised valves are open on manual.
