Hi all,
I have an old central heating system which consists of an open vented setup with the two tanks in the loft, a y-plan with 3-port valve and all radiators fed by microbore pipe/manifold.
I am going to be replacing all the old radiators and re-piping with 15mm copper pipe. I was wondering if there is a way to keep the DHW function operational whilst I do the work?
I have tied the F+E tank valve up with a bungee and drained all of the radiators. I have also set the room thermostat and the programmer such that there should not be any demand for heating.
Am I now able to proceed with removing all radiators and microbore pipework whilst still keeping the hot water cylinder function?
Many thanks for any advice.
Cheers
Matt
