NIce vid. Reference the water cylinder for info only and I am not telling anyone how to do their jiob.....I use a Transfer pump, costs £90 and takes dewalt batteries.Or Makita depending on which you buy and Worth every penny. Milwaukee do one for £220, but these cheaper coppies are just as good. Connect hose either end, drill a hole in the the top of cylinder and poke hose in, and other hose down the loo or outside - Turn on and leave. Stress free. (I will show you next time I see your van parked up) Have a coffee, and plan how to get the damn cylinder out. Nice to see an old fellow like me grafting still.

As a Plumber felt your pain with that job. A lot of younger tradesmen don't realise that in the 1970s a lot of airing cupboards were preformed and the house was built around them. Some were a metal frame with the tank and cylinder already plumbed in. They were just put in place and then frames built around them. An absolute nightmare to get out. In the Merseyside area the main culprits were a construction company called Unit Construction. Anyways ended up a nice tidy job well done

That's a surprisingly complex setup! In Austria all I've seen is pressurised tank with cold and hot connections on the bottom, PRV right at the cold inlet of the tank draining into a little plastic trap that goes into 32 mm pushfit pipe. HT drain pipe is rated for 100C water (pouring boiling water into the kitchen sink shouldn't melt your drains in the wall) so it should be fine. No expansion vessel, I assume you just have to live with the fact the PRV lets off some water every time the tank is heated up. The tank itself would likely be wall-mounted and go as high up the wall as possible to free up storage space underneath. I once removed one of these setups and I can tell you how glad I was it was in a tiled bathroom with a floor drain!

Yep I personally think a good waste pipe would be fine but regs are regs

@@MJTiffPlumbing For D2 you can use polypropylene waste pipe (BSEN 1451) which is the push-fit stuff, but not solvent weld PVC. There's CIBSE and BPF guidance about it, but I think YT probably won't let me post a link.

Top job again, Mark. Did you consider using your van jack to put a bit of pressure on the door opening to help squeeze the tank out?

The hot water draw off pipe will be near the top of the cylinder as that will be the hottest point in the tank 👍

Nice video mark only one comment is the expansion vessel! It would be great if you could explain the pressure side of it all , what are the prv set to as the vessel has to be the same, most vessels come pre charged at 2 bar but with out a pressure gauge on the prv are we assumeing it's the same!

That is an old Rolyat cylinder, the guy that designed it was called Taylor, can you work out why it was call Rolyat. Very popular in late 70's early 80's Great scarp value on them if you take all the lagging off. I did a job in the mid 90's for a council where we had to replace 126 of those and the scrap payed for my holiday that year . ;)

Evening Mark. That had headache written all over it! When I seen that rotten drain-off I thought to myself "please don't tell me he's gonna attempt to drain the lot from that"! 😳😂 Credit to you for keeping filming it to the end as well though, given it had your life for a day or so. I haven't done my G3 yet so was interesting to see that. Keep up the good work mate 👍
