My first cylinder install with boiler

[jaydebruyne]

just wanted to share some pics of my first cylinder/boiler install.. I’m quite proud of myself. Place had electric heaters before. So brand new system, 3 level flat, 2 bathrooms, new gas run & meter, 21kw Baxi EcoBlue heat only, 250ltr unvented cylinder, 10 rad, s-plan system. Excuse the stray wires around the electronics, I’m going back tomorrow to tidy them up with some mini trunking.

Haha I know, annoying right!!! I’ll sort the discharge tomorrow.. gotta Flick the system anyway and tidy the cables.. I thought it was just a max of 600mm from the t&p Relief.. thanks for pointing that out shaun 🙂

 

[jaydebruyne]

I meant flush, not flick!! Haha

Looks good. Discharge isn't correct as Shaun said. But overall a tidy install.

Very tidy mate. How long did that all take? Just one question, is there much space above the vessels?

for what?

 

[Harvest Fields]

Recharging?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Recharging?

I always pull them off to recharge

 

[Harvest Fields]

Leave valves open once empty and charge in situ me.

Enough space to be able to remove them if they need replacing or stick a pump in if need recharging.. ah mate, time is my nemesis, all in it probably took me about 10/11 days. I’m not the quickest guy in the world!!

I don’t bother.. I just drain the pressure and recharge where they are
