yes you are supposed to anyway on the incoming water feed from the cwst

Are you talking about the cold feed.

bengriffiths · 11 Apr 2008

that was quick,it didnt have any on before.so it needs a 22mm on the cold feed? what about the draw off on the top etc?
will isolating valves not slow flow down?

Drain the water in the storage tank, perhaps

Cut the pipe and do the nuts up.

the valve should be above the height of the cylinder
