Hi sambotc I promised to keep you informed on my problem, the fitter came on Friday and fitted a gate valve, I have tried it, and it appears to have made a big difference,( regarding heat going to my radiators ) there are six turns on the valve from fully open to closed, at the...

Hi sambotc, Just to keep you informed sam, first, I must have misunderstood you regarding moving my cylinder, and after feeling very despondent, (pi**ed of in other words) I emailed the engineer who fitted the stove in the first place,( as i've said before is off work at the...

Hi sambotc, I have noted what you have suggested. but I think I will have to settle for second best this time, as I could not, and would not want to move my cylinder to a different position . I would like to thank you, and all, who have made any contributions to my...

Hi norcon good morning norcon, you tell me NOT to make these connections, but No reason why, I really do NOT need any connections at all to my cylinder in the first place, as i've said before, I heat ALL my domestic hot water with the emersion heater, in the cylinder, and...

Hi sambotc sam, Hope you are well, as I have not heard from you for a while, I have again been thinking about how to harness the wasted heat from the domestic side of my stove, If you look at my third picture, (the one with two on) you will see the heating pipes going along...

sambotc Well sam, I went up into the attic again this morning, and turned down the pump to No one, as you recommended, and while I was up there, I took a few more pictures, to try and let you see what is going on, then I lit the stove, and got a really fierce fire going with...

Hi sambotc I could get the flow down in the front lounge in the corner with a plastic duct, But the return, I may as well say, without having a rise is impossible, as I would have to go through the chimney breast to do that, and then it would be impossible to connect anything...

sambotc Sam, Thank you for YOUR picture, I have just taken a picture, of a live radiator,in my rear lounge which has tee's from below the valves going through the wall to feed another radiator in my front lounge, I could put elbow's on the flow and return to kill the radiator in...

Hi sambotc, Thank you for your responce Sam, But What do I do to look at your pictures? I seem to only be able to get my own pictures. Cheers pioner

Hi sambotc, This morning I was in the attic before 8-o clock, the gas heating had been on from six am, so I turned it off, leaving all the pipes still warm I turned on the stove heating pump to see if it was running, then I turned it down to No two, as you suggested, I also...

Hi sambotc I have gone round the rads, to balance them myself, and I did not find it made much difference, I also knew which is the flow and return, as I fixed them in the first place, many years ago, and I had also marked them for the heating engineer, to save him time...

Hi sambotc THESE ARE THE ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS. (1) the pump is set on No three the highest one. and is fitted at an angle of about 45deg;. (2) Domestic h/w gets VERY hot, well over 130f,only checked with a tube thermometer, and Heated by Emersion only, ( Never tried to...

HI sambotc I wish to Clarify my last contact, I stated a "thermostatic valve" on the return I meant a thermostat, (electic ) to switch the pump,on sorry for any confusion. pioner

Hi sambotc No, the water do's not boil while trying to heat the radiators, that only happened when the installer came round and kept the pump turned off, it was like a kettle,for a few moments until he turned the pump on, then most of the radiators got really hot, until it had...

Hi norcon, the pump is fitted on the return heating pipe, with a thermostat fitted on the gravity return pipe to the stove and is set at 40 Deg C, bringing the pump on( I have been thinking,) I really don't need the gravity heating pipes from the stove to my hot water cylinder...

Hi norcon, All the four pipes are connected to the rear of the stove, a 25mm pipe,( the flow ) is at the top corner of the stove, and the return 25mm pipe, ( the return ) is connected at the opposite corner at the bottom. this is for the domestic side to the cylinder, and the...

Hi norcon, I have printed out and read the fitting of the stove pipe work you have sent me, and it is totaly different, to my instruction book, my stove is fitted on the domestic side with 25mm pipe which then go's through the ceiling, as in my picture, connected to the cylinder...

Hi norcon, I have sent you a manufactures layout drawing for the stove and surely a radiator in my loft would be a good thing in winter to keep away cold and any freezing of pipes, as it is insulated from the joists. Regads pioner

Hi norcon, thank you for your interest. The diagrams in the manufactures manual, shows the gravity radiator near to the cylinder as an escape for any heat that the cylinder cannot take, and, if you will, an escape route of heat before the overflow to the tank, the cylinder is IN...

Hi, Everyone, from pioner I have spent most of Saturday trying different way's to get my radiators hot, by the stove only, by turning some rads off, and on, and checking the others, and my final conclusion, is what some of you have told me, (THAT THE STOVE ONLY ) will NOT...
