Hi all, I have a plastic oil tank with the standard short outlet , I think its a 1inch female thread . Anyhow, the atkinson tm. Won't fit that so I have the adapter tube. Question, Can I unscrew the metal coupler out from the tank and screw in my new adapter in its place ? Then the atkinson...

That is correct, Boiler and cylinder are opposite each other at a distance of approx 3 metres, so the pipework will go up into the loft for connections.

Sounds good, I can elevate the feed expansion tank so it is approx 1.3 metre above the pump. This will place the tank approx 1.2 metres above the top of highest radiator . The pump will sit at approx 40cm (at same elevation with M. Valve) below top of highest radiator. 2 Metres below this on...

Hello and thanks. The F/E tank will be the highest part of the system. Sorry, I possibly didn't make that clear earlier.
