Hi
I will soon be moving into a property that has a back boiler fitted and I want to remove it and have a combi fitted in the kitchen
I want to do all the alterations to the pipe work myself and then get the new boiler fitted.
So my questions are after removing the hot and cold tanks etc if I link together the flow and return For the rads (pump near the cylinder)
Can I then cut into the flow and return at the kitchen rad for the connections to the boiler ?
Or is there more to it than that ?
The cold running to the loft tank obviously will feed the cold to the bathroom and the hot will then be fed from the kitchen end and just linked up in the airing cupboard for the bathroom.
I know I will need to fit thermostatic valves to the rads etc
Is there anything more I should be doing (or not)
There will be no kitchen units so access will be ok for the new boiler location and the gas is on the other side of the kitchen wall so it should be a reasonably easy job for the plumber to fit the new boiler ?
Obviously I will be asking for a power flush before the new boiler is fitted
Will the increased pressure cause any problems ?
Any advice appreciated please
