yellow arrow shows pipe to open vent and the blue, the feed and expansion. The pipework goes round to the right and under the floor to the pump and then splits into two for the water and heating.
Great isn't it. It's our third boiler. When we had the last one installed we asked for the spaghetti junction to be sorted out and that's what they did.
