Hi -
I've got pumped hot water in my CH system. At the outlet end of the HW coil thru the cylinder there's a cheap cannonball-type valve which I doubt functions anymore. Am I right in thinking this was intended purely to isolate the pipework and not for any balancing purpose?? Am I right in assuming, unlike radiators, the HW flow is not balanced - the higher the better??
Thanks.
