Hi there,
I'm renewing the connection to my vented cylinder, and have a question about the piping layout to maximise flow to my taps. I understand the need for a 450 horizontal offset, and then a T-connection with vent going up and hot going to taps. This will be in 22mm pipe.
My question is: How best to orient the T-connection piece?
Most installs I have seen have the T-connection with the middle leg connected to cylinder and the ends connected to vent and hot taps.
It seems to me that if I connect one end of the T connector to the offset pipe from the cylinder, the other end heading horizontally to the taps, and the middle bit of the T going up to the vent, I will maximise the flow to the taps (no sudden right angle bend needed through the T piece).
Will this work? Seems OK in theory, but not sure about practice (voodoo of parasitic losses and air bubbles etc)
