. . Thinking about it a little deeper now.... the oil boiler shouldn't ever "boil" (kettling?) should it. However the woodstove may overfire and boil sometimes. The "bubbles" from the boiling need to escape so I guess the vent would probably be best on the highest tapping on the tank...

. . Ok, forget the heat sinks, forget the coil.... No, the woodstove is NOT connected to the coil... The stove and the oil boiler are both connected to the primary water in the tank, albeit on different tappings in the tank. At the moment both open vent via separate 22mm copper to the...

. . Phew... LOL... thats a relief! I have some heavy duty solid steel fencing wire, probably 3mm dia, can't I just string that up? It would hold a horse!! not that I'm thinking about hanging a horse on it you understand. (Leaving myself open to all the cowboy jokes here now!! LOL . .

Oh dear, don't confuse me now!! I'm only a simple chap who can't cope with too many options!! LOL . .

. . 6.0mm 6943X 3 core SWA Steel Armoured Cable £1.79per M £84.00per 50M £160.00per 100M From TLC ..

. . Yes, I noted TLC don't do 6mm HiTuf. Could probably go round the edge of the driveway with SWA but big trees to go past and would increase length needed from 15m to about 25m :( Are your reservations about suspending it due to weight? or is this not UV stabilised either? Will...

. . Cheers Steve, of those cables which do you reckon would be cheapest? Is the hituf stuff UV stabilised? I guess it still needs a catenery? . .

Ok, as I'm no electrician, what's hituf and SWA.. I could google it but as you guys are on... How is Hituf and SWA specified? The same as T&E? ie would I ask for 6mm Hituf? . .

. . Or dig the drive up and put armoured in... No, I just want to make whats there better than it is. I'm just a poor Northerner you know... (or maybe just a tight Yorkshireman) LOL . .

. . Water in the stove is the same water as is in the oil boiler. Oil boiler is open vent to atmos and the wood stove is open vent to atmos. Question is, as they both use the same primary water do I need the two vent pipes... There is a single cold feed to the primary water...

. . PS..... I realise T&E should not be used exposed to UV but this is an existing setup where NO catenary has been used at all! Making the best of a bad job. . .

. . Picture a hot water tank with multiple tappings into the cylinder. (The potable water is in an inner cylinder here, tank in tank system.) All open vent system. On a couple of the tappings there is a wood burning stove, flow and return. There is also a vent pipe back to the F&E tank in...

. . Are there any specifications or regulations relating to catenary wires for domestic use? I need to run some 6mm T&E across 15m to the garage from house. What would you use to clip the 6mm cable to the wire? Cable ties? Are cable ties UV stabilised? Or those old style flat metal cable...

LOL.... I remember when they produced the first "SELF ADHESIVE" stamps.... (Royal Mail..... Mmmm... Royal Mint... is there a pattern here?) And it transpired you could just wipe the frank off the stamp when it arrived at the other end!! LOL.. Wrong paper again!! I have a pack of those stamps...

. . Very true... you have just allayed my fears! . .

. . Cheers for that, yes they have a 30/45 so that's a lot better than the one thats in the doors now, cheers. Euro cylinders seem to start at 30mm and go up from there. I did actually find a 25/45 one on the web after hours of searching but then they were advertised as "cheap and...

. . Not sure if I have posted in the correct area here. :roll: I'm having trouble locating a Euro style double cylinder with 25mm one side and 45 on 'tother (measured to centre of fixing hole). Overall length 70mm Any ideas where I can get one, or something near say a 30/50, or a...

. . Sorry Mr Boilerman... didn't mean to "spoil for a fight". I thought that as the tank may be buggered no harm in taking it apart to see how it is all put together (I have a 1200l and a 1800l linked so if I lose one it wasn't really a big issue). When I first contacted Titan they must...

. . Just spoken by telephone to Mr. Titan Tanks Technical Dept, told him what I had done, ie unscrewed the connector, and he said to use only PTFE tape to seal it, no pastes or sealers. No comment from him about "b*******g" up the tank, or requiring a new tank or anything, thank goodness...

Good "Top Tip" there... like it.. :) . .
