Hi all - hoping for some advice.
I have a 'spur' (if that's what it's called) running off the flow and return pipes near my boiler. This spur goes to and from a heat exchange for and old pool which I want to remove. There's a valve on the spur's flow pipe which is closed so there's no flow to the heat exchange.
Given the above scenario, when I remove the heat exchange, is there any special consideration that I should give to the return pipe coming out the heat exchange which of course spurs back on the boiler's main return pipe? Can I just leave that return pipe disconnected or should I cap or or should I join it to the flow pipe that once went into the heat exchange?
I suppose I'm worried about a) water coming back down the return pipe if I don't cap it or b) any impact on the pressure for my central heating etc.
Many thanks for any advice.
