    NigeF and his witty banter ;-) has hidden my last two questions... I'd be really grateful if anyone could provide any information with regards to them. Many thanks all

    Changing and teeing into Flow & return pipe

    Will do thanks very much. I think it means moving the pump to the loft somehow :) Ok two last question hopefully.... 1 - You point out that this is set up incorrect, but is it this wrongness that will be causing the build up of air in the system? If not what will be the benefits of...

    Changing and teeing into Flow & return pipe

    Another thing I've noticed whilst stripping out my kitchen is that the flow and return leaves the boiler in 22mm pipe but part of it going through the kitchen is in chunky 28 or 30mm pipe for a couple of meters and then goes back to 22mm. Would this have any effect on the system at all?

    Changing and teeing into Flow & return pipe

    Hi all sorry for the delay on this . from what I can see the pump is on the flow. I come to this conclusion as it's the pipe that heats up first. I'm not sure the picture will prove anything unless you know which pipe is flow and which is return on an alpha cd24r boiler. [/img]

    Changing and teeing into Flow & return pipe

    As promised. I hope it makes sense this is all situated up in the loft. Now from what i can see the pump (which is by the boiler on the ground floor) is on the flow pipe directly after the boiler. However if I'm wrong and its on the return would that be ok? If it is on the flow is this...

    Changing and teeing into Flow & return pipe

    Cheers Do It all. I'll get some piccys and stuff this eve. :) I do understand that not everyone is a cowboy but the issues I had with the guys who installed this led me to believe that they weren't completely competent. Unfortunately I had no choice in who to use as it was handled by the...

    Changing and teeing into Flow & return pipe

    Little bit worried about the fact i'm being told my boiler could explode though :) I cant be mistaken about the setup as the pump is right next to the boiler on the flow pipe. Everything else is in the loft to which only a 22mm flow & return pipe runs, so its definitely before the vent and...

    Changing and teeing into Flow & return pipe

    Oh dear... Its been like this since we moved in almost 3 years ago. There was a flood in the house just before we moved in and teh old boiler was replaced with a new a rated alpha boiler. We had to get them to come back and redo the stat and programmer setup as they had made a proper hash of...

    Changing and teeing into Flow & return pipe

    Changing and teeing into Flow & return pipe

    Really? Why would that happen? I'm sure its not like that now as the return coming from the central heating tees into the return coming from the cylinder in the loft to the boiler. I'm pretty sure my rads don't heat up when the stat is off. I,ve never noticed it anyway. I think i may be...

    Changing and teeing into Flow & return pipe

    Hi all, Looking for a bit of help with moving some pipes. We are having some work done and i need to move a few pipes around to tidy things up. I called a plumber in to look at the work and have been quoted an astronomical amount when compared to what the rest of the work is costing. I...

    First radiator in loop on open vent system...

    hi all again... with ragrds to thinking i have corrosion issues, would the radiators not need bleeding all the time even when the system is off? The air only builds up when the system is turned on?

    First radiator in loop on open vent system...

    Now this sounds like a plan.... My water tank is still up there so that would need tackling at some point but the heating is a bit Cack to be honest. So I can get a kit to do this? If I was to ask a plumber to do this is it a big job? Any info for me to read up in anywhere? Many thanks...
