    Replacing F&E tank in loft with expansion vessel

    I've just phoned up Ideal boilers, and they've just verified the old boiler I have is a series 1, which isnt approved for unvented operation - Damn :( Ah well, it's probably saved me £100 ! Just have to put up with the couple of extra pipes going up the wall. Thanks for advice ....

    Pipe runs within Chimney stack

I want to install a better Central Heating system and use a more efficient and direct route for the pipe runs to/from header tank, water tank etc. As these components are in line on...
