Are you gas registered plumbing services?

 

[plumbingservices]

Who, me?

 

[sooey]

Yes you, I'm guessing not.

 

[plumbingservices]

Like i care, who are you? Have I mentioned or advised about gas??

 

[sooey]

If you had of been you would probably have had access to the private part of the forum where you could have read some of steelmasons posts.
Then you'd have realised that you've been arguing with one of the genuine brainy fckers on the forum. That's all.

Looks like another troll sooey , starve him.

Clutchin at sraws mate, open vented cylinder in loft? Where`s header tank go? coil ran dry ? cylinder in loft has nothing to do with heating system, blocked feed and expansion pipe refers to heating system, not hot water cylinder, please, stop it now, it`s beyond cringeworthy.

Is your user name a joke?


How long have you been doing this for a living?

 

[plumbingservices]

knows nothing about basic hot water installs, sorry
the man is totally clueless, if you have read my posts on this subject then you know he is out of his depth and you must be too.

 

[Dan Robinson]

Oh dear

 

[plumbingservices]

You were talking rubbish Dan, blocked cold feed? give me a break, time to gang up on me now,

 

[Steelmasons]

The only way to shut you up is to not feed you....now fook off.

 

[Dan Robinson]

So are you saying the water in the cylinder coil/annular is not from the same 'source" that of the central heating water???

No, I`m saying that the hot water cylinder is heated via the coil and transferred through the coil to the hot water cylinder, the cylinder is fed via a header tank independantly from the heating or Feed and expansion tank, a blocked cold feed is a blockage from the cold feed from the tank in loft feeding the central heating system only usually evident by cold radiators that do not vent any water when bled.

How would a blocked cold feed which tops up central heating circuit possibly influence the hot water system? My understanding is this is an S plan system. What system do you think this is Steelmasons? Take time to look it up. Do you think that the water in the cylinder is the same flowing through the radiators steelmasons ? Do you know what a blocked cold feed means?

Without trying to belittle you any more than you've already managed..... Where does the OP mention S plans? Out of the hundreds of back boilers I've looked after I can honestly say that the number on s plan is few.


Now, thinking about the typical back boiler property.... Where were the two likely locations of the feed and vent?


That's right..... The boiler, or the airing cupboard.

In the case of the latter, on the primaries to the fooking cylinder.


If you've never had to cut out the tee where the cold feed joins the system then I would kindly suggest you fook off until you have worked your way through the first few pairs of steelies and THEN come back to argue with those who obviously know better.


Or maybe you would like me to post a few pictures of a blocked feed resulting in no hot water on an ancient boiler?

By your attitude your obviously a youngish guy who takes an interest in his job, but you don't know everything and you could learn a lot off these guys if you have the brains to allow yourself too.
