Hi flameport thanks for reply here is the drawing with the back boiler..hopefully you will be able to make it out not very neat..the hot water heats from the back boiler in gravity and drops from the attic to feed cylinder..there is a pipe stat on the return to the back boiler at the coil of the...
Hi all...I need a bit of advice on a central heating job..the job is for a relitive who gave me a call wondering if I could move an oil boiler from the utility room of his house to the corner of the garden he wanted to buy a new condensing oil boiler that can be fitted externally for this..I...
I understand the valve has to b open to feed the heating system and can't b turned off I just think it is handy for maintenance...if I was to change the system to a pressurised system could I put the expansion vessel in the attic as long as there is no valves between the boiler and the vessel...

I am in Northern Ireland the heating systems are usually oil boilers in the area I'm from...I think my easiest way out of this is to T the feed and vent together in the attic and keep the pump on the return as in picture am I right to think this?
Thanks for your replys..I see that I should have my feed and vent closer to the boiler before the pump with it on the flow rather than the return as I have it...is there any other way of doing this rather than taking another 2 pipes to my boiler because it is situated outside and would be a lot...
