What Pipework Alterations Might Your Unvented Cylinder Need?

Alterations to unvented cylinder pipework can involve various aspects of the system. This might include upsizing pipe diameters to improve flow rates, re-routing pipework to accommodate new appliances or layouts, installing or upgrading safety devices like pressure relief valves and temperature relief valves, or ensuring correct fall to the Tundish. We meticulously assess your system, identifying any areas that need attention and provide clear explanations of the proposed alterations.

The Importance of the Tundish and Discharge Pipe: Safeguarding Your Home

The Tundish and discharge pipe are critical safety components of an unvented hot water cylinder system. The Tundish allows you to visually inspect for any discharge from the pressure relief valve, indicating a potential problem. The discharge pipe safely directs any released hot water and steam to a safe external location. Our engineers will ensure these components are correctly sized, positioned, and installed, meeting all regulatory requirements to protect your property from potential hazards.

Upgrading Your Pipework: Enhancing Hot Water Pressure and Flow

Are you experiencing poor hot water pressure in your showers or taps? Inadequate pipework can restrict water flow and diminish your hot water experience. By upgrading your pipework, we can often significantly improve hot water pressure and flow rates, providing a more enjoyable and efficient system. We use high-quality materials and proven techniques to deliver lasting results.

We understand that any work on your home can be disruptive. That's why we strive to minimise inconvenience during pipework alterations. Our engineers work efficiently and respectfully, protecting your property and cleaning up after themselves. We'll keep you informed throughout the process, answering any questions you may have.
