Hi all,
First time posting here.
I'm fitting a new direct unvented hot water cylinder well, a G3 guy will actually do this.
I will do the first fix pipe runs as I'm renovating the bathroom (and the whole flat).
So this is a flat with loft space and other dwellings below. I don't trust or want to use the two 15mm pipes buried in the screed delivering hot and cold water at the moment. Was an old Fortic cylinder with no pressure.
I propose to run 22mm speedfit up into the loft and down again.
So from the stopcock, up the wall through the loft (4m) and down to the cylinder, From the cylinder the hot and balanced cold in 22mm speed fit back the same way.
My question is, do I need any a way to remove air from the high point? Automatic vents?
This is a mains pressure system but I don't know if the pressure and flow will be enough to remove the air on its own.
Thanks for any advice.
John
