Please, unvented.
Syntactically correct or not, it's what the rest of the world call them, including the manufacturers and the building regs.
Non vented is easier to read and less likely to suffer a typing error. Non vented is used by some non professionals or should that be unprofessionals.

Less likely to suffer a typing error, but significantly more likely to confuse others since "non vented" is not what they are called.
The only unprofessional i've come across that insists on using incorrect terminology is you.

What utter drivel Bernard.
Far more likely the new systems were combi boilers with no cylinder of any kind.
Very dangerous advice & confusing for the Public, when you consider how a unit of this nature should only be fitted by a qualified installer.
Again, I can only hope he's banned.
which is why some people believe vented systems are less hazardous then unvented ones. Especially when some are never checked after being installed.
Didn't you recently post about becoming a moderator yourself, if you ever get that role you could ban me,, but then a real moderator deleted your thread and with it your hopes and ego
When I was an apprentice, my boss had a secondhand Ideal Mexico in his garage. It stood there for weeks, and eventually I asked him what it was for. 'Oh that's mine' he said. 'I took it out of a customers house as they wanted a combi fitting. I'm going to fit it here when I get round to it.'
18 months later, and we had a few days lull in work as a customer had cancelled a CH job, so he was scratching his head muttering about not knowing 'what we were going to do til Monday'. I suggested (in front of his wife) we could fit the boiler sitting in the garage. His wife suddenly got very excited, saying 'At last. The old one has only been leaking for 3 years, and I can have my bowl back then!' Well, if looks could kill....
When people are working on other folks plumbing and heating systems all day long, often the last thing they want to do in their free time is mess about with their own....
Hopes & ego??!! Get a grip man, while I maybe a bit of a wind up artist. You on the other hand are a dangerous individual with no experience or knowledge of Plumbing & Heating. For the very poor, dangerous advice you give you should be banned. Without question you have mental health problems & for that reason also you should be banned.
If someone contests your very poor Googled advice, you report them, as you have done with me on several occasions!!
HJ, Bernardgreen doesn't know what he's talking about & clearly is just attention seeking. BG has mental health problems.

The mouse could if it had its own snorkelling kit with an oxygen pack and flippers.
It could be a Mouse Fish swimming up the 22mm feed pipe? its possible
Or a mouse with gills?
Glad my unvented is on a 15mm supply then, no mouse can swim up a 15mm pipe. Or can they? you've got me worried now.
