Then why not nip to one of the sheds and pick up a bib tap for a couple of quid. Rig this up temporarily on a hot pipe somewhere and see what results you get?

Next time I’m at Screwfix or Toolstation il pick one up thanks.

Also can't hurt to depressurise the dhw system and check the air side charge in the vessel.

What pressure should it be?

Should be the same as the setting of the Pressure Reducing Valve ie 3bar. Takes a fair bit of pumping if it's depleted and you don't have a motorised pump

You really should have a tundish visible at the cylinder location. Have a read of the manual pages concerning discharge arrangement and try and see how one could be provided for in the installation.

I thought it would be possible given I prepared the area exactly as required.
My problem is engaging with the plumber. He was recommended and he isn’t cheap but...

I think he is a bit of bully and fobs me off when I ask a question. I find it hard to keep on with the same questions all the time.

He Has left a mess, used the wrong size insulation on the 28mm cold feed, drilled the summer beam to fit the condensate pipe after I specifically asked him to go under it and has fixed pipes to a full size sheet of plywood that I need to move later to insulate under.

Basically he’s bit a bit of a mare and I won’t be getting him back for anything else. I’m not sure he even understood my issue.

Ohh now I’m venting lol
