SOLVED. What position should gate valve be open on hot water tank?

ninjaef · 2021-01-28 21:27:12

In our airing cupboard we have a hot water tank. It's modern, got that thick dense foam factory fitted casing around it, 10yrs old, The water *was* very hot and cosy (shower/bath). The hot water is unvented indirect system with mains direct cold water feed. So an exchanger built into the tank. The model is Santon Premier…

Glad it's sorted, just a couple of points, the gate valve under the heating valve doesn't need to be there & serves no purpose, with regard to Edit 2 all heating systems require balancing which is why you have a locksheild valve on one end of the rad, so in that regard your London contact doesn't know what he's talking about

I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.
