What Pipework Alterations Might Your Unvented Cylinder Need?

Sometimes, simply replacing an old cylinder with a new one isn't enough. Alterations to the existing pipework might be necessary to:

  • Ensure compatibility: A newer cylinder might have different connection points or pressure requirements than your old one.
  • Improve performance: Upgrading pipework can improve hot water flow rates and reduce pressure drops.
  • Address safety concerns: Older pipework may be corroded or incorrectly installed, posing a safety risk.
  • Facilitate relocation: If you're moving your cylinder to a new location, the pipework will need to be rerouted.
  • Rectify Non-Compliance: If a previous installation wasn't up to code, alterations will be needed to bring it in line with G3 regulations.

Common Unvented Cylinder Pipework Issues We Address in Crook

We encounter various issues during our work in Crook, including inadequate pipe sizing, incorrect placement of pressure relief valves, improperly installed tundishes (the visible air gap that allows you to see if the pressure relief valve is discharging), and issues with the discharge pipe itself. Neglecting these issues can lead to serious problems, including cylinder failure and potential water damage.

The Importance of a Properly Installed Tundish and Discharge Pipe

The tundish and discharge pipe are crucial safety components of an unvented cylinder system. The tundish allows you to visually inspect for any discharge from the pressure relief valve, indicating a potential problem with the system. The discharge pipe must be of the correct material and size, and it must terminate in a safe location where any discharged water can be safely dealt with. Our engineers will ensure these components are correctly installed and functioning optimally.
