So, a gravity fed system.
The cold water in the loft, as an example will feed the hot tank. Now, if there's only one pipe out of the cold I take it the hot is gravity & cold feeds are on mains therefore not a balanced system.
If there's 2 or more feeds from the cold then the hot & cold are tank fed.
I've no idea why it's been on my mind. Maybe the shower job next week.
Cheers all

you're right rocky, there's always one 22mm cold feed for the cylinder, if there are two 22mm feeds from the tank, Its likly the bathroom is tank fed so the water is equal at the bath taps, If there is only a 15mm as well as the cylinder feed from the tank, Its likey to be to a shower, The best way to check is, turn off the mains water, then see which cold taps are still running, the cold taps still running will be tank fed, sometimes the toilet can be tank fed too,

Hi there Rocky, Bearwood Brown , handyman and newboy around these parts. Back in the US of A , we don't have these gravity fed systems. We don't like any system that can get crud in it. I reckon ya all should put one of these unvented systems in. All the rage in my home town and popular amongst us woodsmen. Or one of those Combi systems they seem to like here in the UK. I gotta decide soon whether ta put one of those combi's or unvented systems in my house soon. Once I've decided, I'll do a series of youtube videos on my installation. Should be fairly easy to put one of them combi's in. I watched a couple of videos on the internet and seems real easy, to run a few pipes and put some radiators on the walls. I have one of them led lights that fit on a band on your head so I can see under floorboards etc when running pipes. Purdy little thing it is too. Gives a great light.
Thankya'all
Bearwood Brown (but ya can all call me BB)
