    Converting close coupled to combined feed & vent

    In your drawing if the cold feed pipe was inline with the pump it would be exactly what you already have apart from the horizontal part closer to the pump a standard H system.

    Converting close coupled to combined feed & vent

    I was not happy with doing away with open vent, not combined system what i said about that was i didn't agree that altering the pipework to this would cure your particular problem. I take it that you are insulting my intelligence and don't want advice.

    Converting close coupled to combined feed & vent

    Is he suggesting linking the vent pipe into the feed pipe NO! I am suggesting that the feed pipe ( in 15 mm ) is connected into the vent pipe!!! There is a subtle difference! The vent pipe remains in an unobstructed near vertical 22 mm pipe. The feed pipe tees into this 22 mm...

    condensing boiler drain question

    The discharge pipe needs to be visible so you can tell if something is wrong so outside turned back to wall , need only be a few inches in length so won't be a health & safety issue as long as it discharges onto wall a not straight out.

    Converting close coupled to combined feed & vent

    Change to combined feed & vent as agile suggests if you like although i don't agree, but please read posts again because he isn't suggesting that you do away with open vent.

    Converting close coupled to combined feed & vent

    Don't like the sound of that do away with open vent, boiler stat fails water trying to go two ways in same pipe, also big problems when ever refilling system once coldfeed is under water in f&e.

    Yes i would think it's best to do all in one go.

    Converting close coupled to combined feed & vent

    You need to send the cleaner around the primary circuit and you say you havn't got a hot water circuit, so you would have to close off rad valves, just the trv's end will do just leave the one you say is fitted with normal valves on, this will make just a small circuit for the cleaner to go...

    Is the pump running, air in system stopping circulation.

    Converting close coupled to combined feed & vent

    Add fernox/sentinal or other as you prefer to system as per instructions/quantities etc and circulate through boiler,primary flow & returns hot water circuit rather than heating circuit not the best time of year to do this, or power flush through this circuit.

    Converting close coupled to combined feed & vent

    Did your system ever work properly?. Is the distance between open and cold feed vertical pipes less than 150mm?. I would still move the tee section down to just above pump and clean system again especially flow and returns to and from boiler, and boiler itself.

    thermostat controlling a convection heater??

    Hi you don't say what type of heater, i assume you are talking about ELECTRIC HEATER?. IF so you would be better off on electrics site, you would need external and internal thermostats and the built in one disabled i asume.

    Converting close coupled to combined feed & vent

    There are products on the market to reduce system noise such as system hush, which you could try but i think you would be better off getting your system cleaned out, you say you have trv's on your radiators, have you got a bypass or at least one radiator without trv fitted in case they should...

    Which Condensing Combi Boiler should I go for...?

    Installed quite a lot of Biasi boilers, they are cheap and i've never had one go wrong yet.

    Converting close coupled to combined feed & vent

    I assume you have a variable speed pump what setting are you using?. High sped No3 maybe to high a setting if your system is getting a bit sludged up try lower setting No2 say to see what if any the difference is. There is an surge in pressure at start up of pump that is why a system is...

    Converting close coupled to combined feed & vent

    The distance from the junction of the tee/ horizontal section to the f&e cistern should be okay but the more distance you have the better, i would suggest tha you move that horizontal section down to just above the pump, this will also give you an chance to see the condition of the pipework in...
