How do I increase my flow rate for an unvented cylinder? I have just had my main water pipe upgraded to 32mm. I have 6 bar pressure and the flow rate is 13-14lpm. I would like to install an unvented system and would like to have really powerful showers.

Thanks and appreciate any feedback.

Cheers.
 
HI

32mm mains that s not right .22mm is enough for your cylinder.

You could try cracking the stopcock open a bit more :wink:

6 bar fed through a 32mm pipe would blow the asre out the sink :lol:
 
The Pressure Reducing Valve supplied with The UV Cyl will be rated at
3.5 Bar MAX, this should give a more than adequate flow, from your description if it is correct?? suggests a severe blockage in the pipe somewhere!! :?
 
Thanks everybody, there was a problem with my stopcock now getting 60lpm.

Thanks for all your feedback, much appreciated.
