    What LA are you? I know a lot of the LA's are phasing out their control teams and it's going out to third party inspectors. I'm...

    Well given the installation is notifiable then building control would be the place to start I would suggest. The trouble is, as it is...

    yes, unfortunately that can void the warranty. Though some manufacturers may take the position, once explained, and that they may come...

    OK - TBH a 3 bar PRV wouldn't normally be used as part of a loop for a sealed system. Anytime a PRV would be used as part of a boiler...
