Combi boiler for heat only ?

[markus2025]

Hi guys so i have touring caravan on some private land its only going go be used by me no one else and its not going to leave my land.

im looking for some advice

im looking at fitting a small say 24kw lpg combi boiler so i can run a radiator inside
i feel im a competent at soldering and plumbing work ive done quite abit of it

what i want to ask is i dont want to run mains cold water to the caravan and i dont need running hot water from the boiler i only want to use it to run the radiator ,
a heat only boiler would likely be more efficient but i presume that would require a tank and expansion etc...

so can i ask after the initial filling of the wet system can i blank off the cold in and hot out on the combi and it would work fine or is there issues that could happen using the combi in a heat only setup ?

I don’t think you’re allowed to fit your own gas boiler if you’re not gas registered. Presumably you have electric to run the boiler so if you only want to want it to run one radiator, why not just use an electric panel heater or an oil filled radiator? A lot safer and probably cheaper.

Yeah your probley not but lets put that aside

You may not put it aside

The laws are there to stop you blowing up or poisoning yourself or other people.
You would need knowledge ans equipment you don't have, to do gas work.
Therefore we don't give advice on it.

How things you do on your own land can be restricted i will never understand....

Lawa still exist on private land, for good reason.

I should of put a summery on the end of that post shouldnt i as its how these forum genrally roll lol telling the poster what they should not be doing rather then giving advice on what they ask

If your gonna get your wig and gown on i dont need your replies lol

It's against the rules of the forum. Hopefully the thread will be removed soon
