Thanks for the reply,, now I am really confused. Why do I need to fit anything to the cylinder?? All I am trying to do is fit a tee into the existing pipework so that I can go into new mixer valve?? Maybe its me being stupid, or maybe I didn't explain what I was asking very well.

Hello again my friend,, well I realise it is a bit late posting a reply to this but I have been in hospital for an operation and have been recovering. I wonder if you can advise me on what you may think is a stupid question but here goes. On the picture I posted showing the hot water...

Thanks ChrisR.. The prob I have is that I am in a bungalow and the tank is aleady on a wooden platform with the tank butting up against the roof joists so theres not much opportunity to put it higher, although I could perhaps move the platform a little more to the centre of the apex which would...

GTodd evening gents. Before I start installing the new water tank and mixer could I just ask one final question please.. Is it beneficial to use 22m cold water from the tank down to the mixer and the reduce to 15mm or is there no benefit. I just wondered if the run of 22m might provide a little...

I think that makes sense to me, when you say the highest in the tank, as there is only one outlet at the moment, do you mean when I install the cold outlet for the mixer the main outlet should be slightly higher than the mixer outlet.. It's turning out to be a little bit more involved than I...

I here what you are saying , it does make sense, would I still be able to connect the outlet to the bottowm of the tank as it is now, I realise nowadays they outlet is usually at the side, but this would mean I would have to re-route the outlet.

Thank you so much for the very fast reply. I understand, so it should be fine for me just leave the inside as it is and cut off the pipe going outside and connect a new piece of overflow pipe to the existing, or would you suggest taking it all out and replacing it with plastic and leaving the...

This is probably my final posting on this subject Softus. The galvanised water tank in the loft has been in situ since 1964. It seems very solid and I see no reason to change it. I am just a little confused that the overflow is 22m copper. It enters the tank at the side but then on the inside...

Hello again my friend. Reading the installation instructions for my mixer I think I will be ok fpr pressure. It say's Cold Water 0.1 to 1 Bar ( 1 to 10 mtr head) Hot Water 0.1 to 1 Bar ( 1 to 10mtr head) max ratio of hot-cold pressure 1:5 / 5:1. The actual distance between the...

What calculation do you use SOFTUS to work out the pressure from the tank,, I gace an approximate but I will check it properly tomorrow. thanks

Thank you Softas, the distance from the shower head to the base of the tank in the loft is about 2 metres

Hello again Softas,, now that I managed to get the pictures on do you have any more advise or suggestions please before I go ahead. thanks

Thank you mod7 sorry about the confusion

I cant seem to find anything about how to attach picture,, could you advise please

If it would help I could take a picture of the cylinder and existing pipework although I'm not sure how to attach one to the posting

Hello again. The fittings I thought about using are in the screwfix catalogue called cuprofit. I am happy to use compression fittings if you think they would do. I am in a bungalow, the cylinder is in a cupboard about one metre square in the bathroom, the valve will be on the outside wall...

Thanks for the quick supportive reply...Do you think I need to use 22m from the tank as close to the valve as poss or would using a reducer at the tank end be ok, it would just be a tad cheaper. I though about using push fit copper connections, how do I judge how much I need to cut off the pipe...

Can someone please clarify for me please the following: I have an Armetage Shanks thermostatic mixer valve. I understand that the cold water feed has to come from the tank in the loft, I live in a bungalow so the tank is about 2 metres above where the shower head will be. I have an old...
