Is Your Unvented Cylinder Pipework Meeting the Grade?

Many homeowners don't realise the critical role pipework plays in an unvented cylinder system.

If you're unsure whether your existing pipework is suitable, or if you're planning modifications, it’s best to get a professional assessment.

Understanding the Tundish: A Vital Component

The tundish is a key safety component in an unvented system. It's a small, open-topped fitting that allows you to visually check for any discharge from the temperature and pressure relief valve. This discharge indicates a potential problem within the system. Altering pipework without properly incorporating or positioning the tundish can compromise this vital safety feature.

Minimising Risks: Prevention is Key

Incorrect pipework can create a number of risks, including excessive pressure build-up within the cylinder. This can lead to component failure and, in extreme cases, even an explosion. Our expert engineers understand these risks and take every precaution to prevent them. We ensure that all pipework is correctly sized, supported, and installed according to the manufacturer's instructions and relevant building regulations.

High-Quality Materials for Long-Lasting Performance

We only use high-quality, WRAS-approved materials for all our pipework installations and alterations. This guarantees the longevity and reliability of your system. Cheaper materials can corrode or degrade over time, leading to leaks and other problems. Investing in quality materials upfront saves you money and hassle in the long run.
