Hi,
I've read a lot of posts and other internet sites on this to try and confirm if this is acceptable or not. But seem to find a lot of conflicting information.
At present I have a open vented system with an immersion heated tank. I have no rads in the house as the boiler is warm air.
My new bathroom is not on the warm air system, so needs something to take the chill off the room, not only heating towels.
I see the white, and stainless finishes allow more heat to escape as opposed to the chrome finishes.
But I've read some people tapping into their hot water supply to heat these. This would make most economical sense in that I pay an electric charge to heat the water already.
I read you can tee off the return pipe to the tank. I don't see that I have this.. I have 2 pipes hot out the top, cold in the bottom. No good as I assume that applies to system where the boiler heats the water.
Is with my system is this in any way acceptable, with DRZ brass whether tee'd off before any tap in the house, or continuing the feed from the tap in the bathroom.
Obviously sticking within the regs is the most important thing.
