Due to lack of space the header tank for a hot water cylinder is about 5m away, but the header tank for the boiler circuit is directly above it. It's a gravity feed from a solid fuel backboiler.
Is there any reason not to run the vent pipe from the hot water cylinder to the boiler header tank instead of it's own? To save an awkward pipe run and because it seems safer to me to have a short vertical vent not a long nearly horizontal one.
The top of the boiler header tank is slightly above the top of the hot water header tank.
