Hey,
After installing a pump to supply my hot water around my house and the shower i ordered a Surrey Flange which ive just read and would like some advice.
I bought this...

Basically i have a vented gravity fed system, so my hot water feed comes out of the top of my hot water tank then into a tee piece. One pipe goes into the loft and back into the cold water tank. The other, goes down under the floor to my hot feeds around the house.
Ive just realised the Surrey Flange has 2 outlets. 1 is the 'normal vented outlet' and the second is 'air free outlet'. The 'air free outlet' is supposed to be connected directly to the shower feed and the 'normal vented outlet' to the hot taps.
Because ive pumped my entire hot water feed, is it correct to connect my hot water to the 'air free outlet' then the pipe going into the loft into my cold water tank as the vent to the 'normal vented outlet'?
Hope that makes sense.
Also how much difference do these flanges actually make? I do notice slight fluctuations in temperature when im in the shower. This could be due to air, but could also be simply due to the fact its pumped?
Any advice would be appreciated.
I dont want to start re-plumbing things for no benefit.
