Pumping over?

[Sammyjoe]

Hi guys I was wondering if you could help me.
I am removing my back boiler and installing motorised valves, cylinder state and a bypass valve on my oil fired heating system. The pump is on the return side of the boiler outside. I was going to to fit the vent and expansion pipes inside on the flow before everything else but am concerned this will pump over even if I make the connections less than 15cm apart as the vent will be the first thing after the boiler. They are currently on the return side. Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Why don't you move the pump to the flow side, after the vent and feed/expansion pipes?

Hi. The pump is outside with the boiler at the moment and I don't have room in the hotpress for the pump in the current setup.

you have an oil fired back boiler ? everyday is a school day.

I have a oil fired central heating boiler. The system was linked up to the back boiler in the fireplace that I have disconnected.

Are you sure?

I've never heard of them; and they don't have a website.

A pic of the boiler showing the name may help identify it.

I found the Warslow Heating Oil Club on t'net. Apparently for people living in Warslow.
