Is Your Unvented Cylinder Pipework Up To Standard?

Why Proper Pipe Sizing is Crucial for Unvented Systems

Using the correct pipe size for your unvented cylinder is essential. Pipes that are too small can restrict the flow of hot water, leading to poor shower performance and longer filling times for baths. They can also cause increased pressure on the cylinder itself. Preferred Gas engineers calculate the correct pipe sizes based on your system's specific requirements, guaranteeing optimal performance and preventing potential problems down the line.

Understanding Relief Valves & Tundish Requirements for Unvented Cylinders

Relief valves are a critical safety component of any unvented hot water system. They are designed to release pressure in the event of a system malfunction, preventing the cylinder from over-pressurising and potentially exploding. The discharge pipework from the relief valve must be correctly installed and terminate in a tundish (a visible open connection) to allow for safe discharge and easy identification of any issues. Preferred Gas ensures your relief valve and tundish setup is compliant and functioning correctly.

Upgrading Your Unvented Cylinder Pipework for Improved Performance

If you're experiencing poor hot water pressure or flow rates, upgrading your unvented cylinder pipework could be the answer. Modern pipe materials and installation techniques can significantly improve the efficiency and performance of your system. Preferred Gas can assess your current setup and recommend upgrades that will deliver noticeable improvements in your hot water supply.
