Hi there, Looking for a simple solution for a header tank for a solid fuel stove, open vented, pumped central heating system. Would like tank to be opaque, so level of coolant can be checked, obviously good for high temps (100deg plus?) roughly 2l capacity, and to have an overflow connection...

Was have a trianco trg45 boiler and one of the flueways at the back has become blocked solid. The tool provided can't shift it and it's awkward to get at. Is there a chemical or something I can use to soften up the compounded soot. Any help would be gratefully received

Hi to everyone, this is my first post and I will do my best to explain what system I have installed and what Im looking to change in it. Here is a diagram of my system so far, I am thinking of installing the system link so I can use the oil to boost the solid fuel heating for the central...

Anyone who is Heatas know if the attached picture of a stove is allowed, the jaunty angle of the downward facing flue in particular. Plus there is no catchment space where the flue goes into an open brick chimney. I wouldn't allow this on gas or oil, just need confirmation re solid fuel. cheers

Theoretically, a solid fuel boiler would have min 28mm flow and return to cylinder. Would the hot water draw off/vent pipe also need to be m i n 28mm..??

Hi all, im having trouble with my solid fuel system. Its been repiped twice (as upstairs rads weren't connected to the pump)and secondly repiped at the stove to try and stop the back boiler kettling before the pump had a chance to kick in. I've lit the fire last night and the kettling is...

Surely this is incorrect saying these woodburners can be used on unvented(i think he sealed system). Because it is rated to 2 bar. This is wrong isnt it. You cant use solid fuel on a sealed/unvented surely as you cant control the heat source Nero Lux Back Boiler 16kw Multi Fuel Wood Burning...
