If you've got an unvented hot water cylinder in your Richmond home, making sure the pipework is spot-on is vital.

Unvented Cylinder Pipework: Addressing the Requirement Needs
Unvented cylinders offer great mains pressure hot water, but they need to be installed with specific pipework to handle that pressure safely.

Gravity and Your Unvented Cylinder: Why Proper Discharge is Important
The discharge pipework from your unvented cylinder needs to be installed in a way that allows gravity to do its job. This means a clear, unobstructed route for any discharged water to safely drain away. Incorrect angles, unnecessary bends, or excessively long runs can all compromise the system's ability to protect itself.
The Tundish Connection Point: Directly Linked to Your Safety
The tundish is a crucial component that allows you to visually check for any discharge from the pressure relief valve. It must be readily accessible and properly connected to the discharge pipework. We ensure that the tundish is correctly positioned and functioning as it should be, providing you with an essential safety check.
The High Cost of Cutting Corners: Why Professional Installation Matters
While it might be tempting to try and DIY some of the pipework alterations, unvented cylinders are not a place for amateur efforts. The risks are simply too high. Our Gas Safe registered engineers have the training and experience to carry out the work safely and correctly, giving you peace of mind and protecting your home.
