As above I've got a couple of questions. Regards vectraguy.

Hi Rico99 that looks just the job to me, wonder why I hadn't seen that sooner, and it has got the same hexaganal adaptor for male to female as the York version. I cant really tell from the pic if the pickup tube is dead centre, but I suppose it must be. Thanks I will now go to the site for...

Quite so Goldberg, and that's now my intention, hoping the torture will then end, any way keep in touch and I will update again on receipt of the York. I,ve learnt a great deal from this situation and not just about plumbing :lol: btw went into the plumbers merchant this morning and the...

It now seems my last resort is to buy a York flange, as seen here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1%22-Female(-Fit-male-tank)BSP-Female-outlet-York-Flange-_W0QQitemZ250357855107QQcmdZViewItem?rvr_id=&rvr_id=&cguid=7cf2bb6d1200a0e204216801fffd5bac This also appears to have a F TO F coupler but it's...

Well Goldberg just as things were starting to look up on this job it's all gone wrong again. Today I went to Plumbase merchants, and was pleased to see they had a female to female 1"bsp adaptor to make my Surrey flange into a female connection onto the cylinder top. I got home anxious to...

Yes that sounds better and I think speedfit elbow on both the up and down pipes and remove the T altogether. No need to apologise my friend your help is very much appreciated, and on completion of the job I will return to the thread with a blow by blow report. Regards vectraguy.

Hello again Goldberg, I hope that so, and I have found a source of such couplers. Yes this had occured to me and would tend to spoil some of the advantage,and regarding the Essex that sounds a bit too much for me, but I appreciate your comprehensive description of it. The beauty of...

Hi m8 sorry for delay replying, had to take the wife out :roll: it's 1" BSP vectraguy.

Hello again Goldberg, I went into Wickes today and saw a Surrey flange for £3.95 which I found surprisingly cheap, so couldn't resist and bought it. At home I peeled away the insulation jacket around the flange, and you've guessed, I found a male spigot, so I need a York which Wickes havn't...

I think I will remove the existing flange and take it with me to the plumbers merchant, and let them choose which is the right one for the Surrey flange before I buy it. I can now see the logic of having a seperate feed for hot water, and venting, must admit I thought it was the hot water...

Hello Goldberg, thanks for your interesting suggestion which appeals to me, and the access to the cylinder top flange is very easy, and from my recent work on providing an incorrect feed to the pump there is no visible water escape when disconnecting the pipe at that location after turning off...

Hi Tony thanks for your patience with me, and from your last post I have now a good idea of what is required,firstly I need to rejoin the two ends of the horizontal feed pipe to the up and down T piece which will re establish the immediate relationship to the vent pipe as it's always previously...

Hello seco services thanks for your reply, and I'm trying to visualise a spur which in electrical work means breaking into an existing circuit to tap off energy. If that's the case should I remake the the direct pipe connection between cylinder output and the hot water feed/vent T piece, and...

To sum up the present situation, I allowed the corrupted header tank to empty via the HW cylinder and hot taps until it was completely empty which gave me an opportunity to really clean out the tank which had been accumulating rubbish for more than 12 years and it looks good with nice clear...

Sorry m8 there is no cold feed to pump it is in the hot output of the HW cylinder. vectraguy.

Hello Garfield yes I did but they were not very good ones, and using pictures rather than words, and non of the pictures illustrated my requirement of boosting a hot water mixer/shower tap assembly, which is surprising considering the pump model is mainly intended for that purpose. I did do...

I quite agree with your wise comments about DIY Tony and when this problem is put right I'l never touch plumbing again. So can I just turn the hot taps on with the ball cock tied up and let it run, no problem with having the pump depowered because it's no longer connected to the water in or...

Yes I have so should the pump output connection have been lower down the vertical pipe from the T piece? vectraguy.

Hi Agile the cold water is direct from the mains wih no tank, and the large tank above the cylinder supplies just the HW cylinder. I cut the horizontal pipe coming from the top of the cylinder and connected the pump input direct to that, and the pump out put to the same pipe continuation...

I fitted the new Grundfos 15-90 boost pump to the hot water cylinder output, and all went well or so I at first thought, but the large cold water header tank was being filled via the vent pipe, and this has stirred up all the clag and the water is coming out brownish. My main first concern is...
