HI
Posting here because I susspect the plumbers will have had most experience in this area.
I'm getting an unvented HW cylinder put in the attic. It was intended to site it on the existing platform where the cold water tank is just now. However, if this is done, the new tank will foul on the purlin at the roof apex.
Can the purlin be removed? If not, the platform will need to be lowered so what is the best way to construct a platform of minimum height?
For info:
The fink trusses are 600mm apart and the existing spreader beams are approx 2500mm apart and close to the node points. Support members are in the usual configuration on the spreader beams
The tank is 210 litres, 510mm diameter and 1500 tall. It will weigh approx 250kg when full.
