Good morning all,
We suddenly noticed in our 1967 bungalow that a leak developed in the CH pipes burried in the concrete floor at two places, bedroom to corridor line.
The carpets were found wet & so the concrete floor under them, and same wiith the near by lower walls.
The CH header tank looses about 2-3” of water in 24 hrs.
The radiators installation is the original of a single pipe type, with a shut of valve only on one side.
It was powered from a conventional system in the utility room, which was done away with to enlarge the kitchen 6-7 yrs ago.
Since then the above system is powered by a Potterton Kingfisher M F 60 boiler, with an “OSO” Unvented Water heater, Indirect 250 & new header tank, all istalled in the garage.
Is there a way to abandon the old piping system & install new pipes above ground?, and if so which would be the most economical way.
Nick
