My new oil tank has arrived. Titan R1225. With it are fittings, ptfe tape, heldite, etc. Any tips on installation?
I plan to take the pipe out of the tank, down to 25mm below DPC then clip pipe to house wall with 1:600 steady rise so I end up at DPC level before rising to boiler.
Do I need a drain at the lowest oil pipe point? Since usually that is underground I don't think I need one.
The oil filter/tank assembly could be horizontal or vertical. I think I will have the room underneath to mount the oil filter bowl vertical. Is that the best arrangement?
Heldite I take it is a jointing compound. How should it be used. No information came with it which I would have though is against H&S since it ought to at least say flammable or poisonous etc. (not that that would be helpful in knowing how to use it, but you see my point). I guess I'll ring them on Monday for some data (no web site!).
