That’s with a syphon sucker though. The syphon sucker was £20.00 at the show.

Oooo didn’t know they did that kit

Neither did I. Might get one at that price. Not sure the sucker has the hose with it though.

yea i use the pipe lagger pro mitre block along with a very large stanley/craft knife , cuts the lagging clean and straight with ease , i do my tees slightly different to you , i use a scrap peice of copper and use that to create a perfect hole by twisting it through the lagging then just do a small slice from that hole to the center line slit , then the next piece just cut a curve that matchs the lagging O.D on the end , looks perfect every time,

why gledhill did you install the cold inlet 1/3 the way up the cylinder feel sorry for the next guy whose got to remove it with 100l ish left

It may well have a dip tube which extends almost to the bottom of the cylinder so should still syphon almost to empty.

So why didn’t they install it at the bottom if it’s got a dip tube seems backwards

 

[Stigster]

I don't know to be honest. More importantly your installation looks fantastic.

The only reason I can think is any crap / limescale drops to the bottom and is left / kept there
