A solid day plumbing today. Theoretically just soldering up the bits that I had previously dry fitted, but lots of sealing screwed fittings, and adapting the plastic fittings to the tank. I couldn't for the life of me see initially why my pre-cut bits were SO far out - it all became much clearer when I realised that I'd put the heat exchanger in upside down :bang: . . . still barring leaks that should be the plumbing finished when I've blanked off a 1" BSP redundant hole in the tank. Probably need to make something :scratch: |

Never throw away old brass plumbing fittings ! Looking through my odds and sods box produced a 1" BSP female to 1" compression elbow - the female bit contributed a nice 1" BSP back nut once sliced off on the lathe. Then I found a 1" BSP male to 3/4" BSP Male nipple, and a 3/4" BSP blanking cap - all assembled into a 1" blanking plug ready to go in the hole in the tank tomorrow :thumbup: |
