sealed system....potterton boiler...what would be the best way to go about installin it...
Installing a rad in the attic
- Thread starter Bobajob123
- Start date
turn off boiler, drain down system, tee off central heating pipes (flow & return) nearest the new rad,run flow and returns to new rad, in one end via a thermostatic rad valve and out the other via a lockshield valve(measure size for new rad so output is correct for room size) fill up heating system via filling loop, turn boiler on .... crack open a beer!
While you sit there enjoying your beer, haven't you forgotten the inhibitor??
It may be important to identify where to connect into the existing pipework - say for example if the boiler is responsible for heating a thermal store, or an indirect cylinder.
Just tee'ing in anywhere could adversely affect how your system works.
More info on the system is needed.
If you have a combi boiler or the boiler heats a radiator circuit only then you should have no problem.

de-pressurising.. how do you mean... drop the pressure down and do it quick
Cheers. its straight forward enough for me
hahhahahha yeah grab yourself some inhibitor, fernox and sentinal are a few brands that i use (on every job) and pour into the pipe work
you have just installed before you fill up, then sit back down and crack open a second tinny
