System : sealed/pumped, Worcester 24SBi in garage, Sunvic 3-port mid-position valve, digital room stat etc

Oddity : Worcester 24 SBi altho’ being a combi boiler is installed only to provide CH (i.e., there are no HW flow / return pipes out of the back of the boiler only CH flow/return) and we still have HW cylinder in the airing cupboard

Question : From reading the treads on bypass values they are used to maintain a min flow to the boiler in the event of all TRV’s being shut off.

Fom this can I presume that its only something for the CH circuit and not a concern for the HW circuit ?

And if so as long as I have no TRV on the rad in the room with the room stat I don’t need a bypass ?

Many thanks

the sbi24 is a system boiler, the sbi25 and sbi28 are combis, I think the poster is a bit confused which boiler he has ;)
 
You are right - I am confused !

I have a Worcester 24SBi - and its not a combi !

But question still applies ! Thanks !

If it works alright dont worry about it, Although they are now recommended the fitting of them is not generally needed when you have a three port valve.
