I've just got a megaflo Eco to replace my megaflo HE due to dissolving baffle.

The Eco doesn't have an immersion fitted, so will the one from the HE swap over to it? Cylinders are indirect, 145L.
 
This is why you should never believe anyone. I bought it off a heating engineer.

That's the new one. I estimate between 2012 and 2016. The old one about 25 years, so hopefully a bit more life before the baffle fails, or even better they've changed the material used and it won't fail.

You didn't say the new one (Eco) was 2nd hand! From the photo it lokks like an immersion heater to me. But if you do need to swap them, AFAIK immersions are threaded 2 1/4 BSP, or always used to be.

Megaflo ones are a different size
 
Yes, it does have an immersion and the stats etc, but presumably not wired to a supply when the cylinder was originally installed hence the seller saying it didn't have one - I guess on the basis that there was only one cable going into the cover.

I'll strip the one out of the old cylinder for spares before it goes. I know it's stainless not copper but is there any scrap value to it?
