Atmos or Intergas

[Steelmasons]

You fail too grasp the difference between that of a manifold and that of a header.

You 'think' your 28 mm manifold is a header yet you say you have not yet carried out any calculations so how the hell did you arrive at 28mm?

Would be interesting to see your 'calculations'.

The house is not a 2 up 2 down.

The idea of the header is
a) the have thermo rad valves on all rads.
b) have a two zone CH setup.

It gets around the problem it nicely. Can you offer a better one using and Intergas combi? I am all ears to positive constructive suggestions.

The plumber with the attitude thats prattling on about velocity knows nothing and offered nothing but attitude.

I am glad you got something from the header drawing. This previously shown setup should have had the system zones all into one header. It has two manifolds off the small header. Why? All the CH zones should be into one header. One sized from wall to wall.

Mr attitude I know exactly the difference between a header and manifold. as my last post indicates. Now start reading the thread and at least understand what was written.

Here is a discussion of plumbers about low loss headers. A few admit to fitting many and do not understand how they work. Typical!

No one in this thread don't know how they work other than the OP.

That system from Dan is a work of a genious to get around a very difficult installation, note the DRVs and control stations.

One that I installed almost identical about 10 years ago.

No one has impressed me yet.

I disagree. One header from wall to wall, or better vertical, would have done it with the boiler's F & R the extreme end tee points on the header. He had the space. But he would have had to have gone up to 35mm or above for the header. It looks like a cheap job only using cheaper 28mm pipe. The CH zone will have influence on each other. If you going to fit a header do it right and have all zones running into it.

It is well fitted craft-wise, but the design lacks.

Not bad at all craft-wise. It is two manifold, not a low loss header.

 

[doitall]

two manifolds, 3 boilers with a reverse return.

Why would the circuits have an influence over each other, you clearly don't know or understand what you're looking at.

Imagine the poor sod that gets the job.

That reminds me I must text all my heating mates in Brighton.

Racist comments. Please go back and drum up business in the AV forum. Get an AV guy to do the carcassing work? Yep sure !!!

They would be greatly educated in how to do it right. I noticed after many requests no one has come up with a better solution, or any solution for that matter.

BTW, Polish guys with high craft skills will be fitting it to drawings.

Cash in hand and no questions asked.

Have you found one that reads English

 

[Dan Robinson]

Oh dear. Should we tell numbnuts what pipe sizes are involved in my picture?


Not sure how Rick was being racist? Care to explain?

 

[doitall]

I wouldn't

Just been catching up with this thread. Hilarious.
