Hi guys
Is it normal for the cold feed pipe from the f&e tank to be combined with the open vent?
The cold feed connects to a 22mm tee one end is the vent the other cold feed to rads
I thought the vent connects to ch flow and the feed to ch return?
Thanks in advance
Afternoon all, I’ve recently started getting a loud vibration coming from the cold feed. Only when I’ve got the hot tap on. Any ideas what it could be? I’ve managed to stop the vibration by turning the blue valve slightly. Thanks in advance.

Any suggestions on unblocking this cold feed without taking the tank out and removing the shelf . I've got a bottle of cleaner in and tried mains water on it but no joy. I can get about half way down the back of the cylinder .the red dots are cold feed and tee.

Hi Forum,
The cold feed pipework that goes into the Hot Water cylinder is very hot, I’ve never noticed this before, could someone confirm this is normal or is something wrong?
