We're getting there.

my friend has got the heating working without the boilers, tested all the cold, hot tap water to all taps (by heating a cylinder with its heating element) and has put a separate cold feed through the central heating (separate cold from the cylinder cold of course) and heating pipes. Using just the low loss, cylinders and we have now mains, cold, hot water to taps, and cold water heating (yes, it tests the water), so now we have proven all pipework is fine (where builders hadnt screwed screws through the pipework, and radiators had not been put on properly.). We have left one cylinder on heating the hot water in taps, so bingo we have showers and baths and taps all hot.

So the next piece of this saga is now that my friend is now looking at how to wire up the the 2 c40's with the cylinders and low loss header, he says everything all there now. (i've bought everything). All pipework now we understand and now we are looking at wiring it up.

Does anyone know of any 'diagrams', other than in the installation and servicing instructions on setting up the c40's together?. I'd like to see if there is even someone who has either in suffolk/essex/london/kent/surrey (I can get to any of these places) to come and see an already installed setup that we can look at as a reference point or would be patient enough to tell us on the phone or over a beer how to set it up?

My friend is pretty confident that everything will work and is completent with normal systems but this is quite a big installation for him and needs advice on how it all fits together. Once all done we will get the gas engineer to complete his task.

Been a while... but thank you for the S plan. We now have both keston c40's working and i got a spare one i collected yesterday for spare parts.... we now have hot water and central heating. although the central heating is not heating the whole house. we are pressure testing and cleaning the pipes and radiators. as a few of the downstairs radiators are 'black' inside.

so now we looking for a decent coupel of pumps for the 40mm central heating and the 2 zones for the hot water.
