Automatic bypass valves?

[macka09]

Hi all.

Do any of you guys fit automatic bypass valves on a standard combi boiler heating system? Or do you think a rad with no TRV is sufficient?

I think a lot of combi's have built in bypass valve's ......but stand to be corrected...regards Turnpin:8:

Agree with Turnpin, the only time I fit automatic bypass valves with a combi is if I need to zone the heating with 2 ports.

Yep as above ^^^

Ideal logic used to require 20% of boiler capacity as a bypass

I do what the building regs advize one to do 🙂

Only iff a two ports involved.
