Hi, first time poster so be gentle!
So I have just drained, gently flushed and refilled my heating system with no problems.
Looking at the installation which is a simple heat only boiler serving a pumped Y plan water and heating arrangement.
The heating system is conventional feed and expansion system, ie small tank in the loft.
All radiators bar one have thermostatic valves fitted - the remaining radiator is fitted with double lock shield valves which are permanently open.
The odd ball part of the system is TWO bypass loops (22mm and 15mm) fitted with gate valves between the boiler and the pump.
Given that the permanently open radiator provides any required bypass function does anyone have a clue why two bypass loops are
plumbed into this system?
All thoughts appreciated - thanks in advance
