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. The regulations are there for a reason: incorrect pipework can lead to serious risks, including potential explosions. Our skilled engineers ensure that all the requirements are strictly adhered to, so you can sleep easy.

Is Your Current Unvented System Pipework Suitable?

Perhaps you’ve inherited a system, or you're just not sure if the existing pipework is up to scratch. Many older installations don't meet current standards. Common issues include undersized pipes, incorrect valve placement, or a lack of essential safety features like a properly installed tundish. We can assess your system and advise on any necessary alterations.

Preventing Potential Failure: High-Quality Pipework is Essential

Using the correct materials and installation methods is key to preventing future problems. Cheap components or poor workmanship might save money initially, but they can lead to leaks, bursts, and even system failure down the line. We only use high-quality materials and follow best practices, giving you long-lasting reliability.

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.
