Ok,
Any help would be appreciated!
I am trying to understand my heating and water system in my new house.
I have a boiler that does central heating and also heats hot water via a coil in a hot water cylinder.
I have a tank in the loft for cold water.
I have located a stop cock in a cupboard in the kitchen. the pipe is 15mm and comes from the floor (no other pipes in the kitchen are fed from the floor.
When I turn this stop cock off all the cold taps stop working except the kitchen which instead reduces to a slow constant flow.
Upstairs next to my hot water cylinder I have another cold pipe stop cock. It seems to go from downstairs kitchen to the loft (header tank feed?) it is also 15mm. If the first is open and this is closed all the taps but the kitchen stop. If both are off the kitchen stops too.
I am trying to figure out how my taps are fed and what these stop cocks actualy stop.
Bare with me and feel free to ask as many questions as possibe to help me get accurate info!
Thanks
