I'm learning the trade, studying level 1 at the moment. Have got a work experience placement and this is my project. new install.

loool

 

[SafeGasInstall]

you better off asking your mentor he will show you and he will explain to you

doesnt your books tell you about zones and controls and thermostats ??

 

[Plumbers _plum]

I have asked and he told me to find out which I guess is a good thing. He may be testing me. The book the college have provided is not very good according to my mentor, he has told which book to get, just waiting for delivery from amazon

 

[SafeGasInstall]

is he a plumber or electrician ? if he does not tell you first how by reading it it will make sense to you !!!

 

[Plumbers _plum]

well thank you all!

 

[Leo21]

He needs to explain more to you, it's all dependant on the size and requirements of the system. Just telling you to find out is a bit naff!

 

[lame plumber]

depends on the floor area of the property, have a look at your building regs for starters and latestest reqirements which can mean having 1 valve per floor etc etc

 

[Best]

To give you some pointers,
You need motorised valves to control each circuit & often pumped hot water circuit to any type of hot cylinder, if fitted.
You need to control each floor usually.
You need more than one circuit on a floor if it exceeds a certain area, for building regs.
Also, take a look at what is supplied with a Megaflow (or any unvented cylinder).

Is it a college paper assignment or has some loony let you loose with an unvented?
