Advise on a NEW indirect unvented hot cylinder

[Lumen]

Gledhill or joule

Yep, Gledhill for me all day long

Hi chaps,
I'm settling in for either the
Joule Cyclone Standard (TCEMVI-0150LFB)
or Gledhill ES (SESINPIN150) or Gledhill Stainless Lite Plus (PLUIN150)
Do you chaps know what's the biggest difference between Gledhill ES and Gledhill Stainless Lite Plus?
Both of these are B rated and second is slight lighter, but there's about 25% £100 difference in price.
What is the price difference due?

Prob thinner go for the thicker one

Shaun, pardon my ignorance, but thicker in terms of wall/insulation thickness or overall diameter?

Hey guys, here’s the final update on the post 3 weeks after instal.

I went for Joule cylinder in the end. The install took one day, but that involve me preparing everything a week before and running the 22mm waste pipe along the plumber installing the cylinder.

Only thing I’m planning changing in this set up is adding an automatic by pass, but that’s for a next bank holiday weekend, I’ve got clockroom to do first.

Building regs certificte came through the post yesterday, so all seems good. Many thanks for all who contributed and advised, I’d get you a beer each if I could

Don’t know how you have a cert as it’s not a good install

3 port valve istalled wrong should be a 3 port and a 2 port (safety) or two 2 ports eg s plan

Plus a few more niggling things

Filter on the flow
Not enough tundishs

Interring, I might have to follow up with the installer about the 3 port valve.
I wanted to change that to an S-plan, but installer said that changing the valves and pipes would take the install into two days work territory and add about £50-100 plus the cost of parts for this job. So it seemed like it wasn’t worth it to me.

I’ve also noticed that filter was installed on a flow, not return, but he said that there isn’t any space to put in on return in this clockroom and boiler downstairs installed about 15-20cm from the ceiling, so can’t go there either.

As for tundish, the what’s wrong with it? As the bend is 38cm below the tundish.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

It requires the extra port valve or an s plan so no option to fit without you should of been made aware of this

As for extra they normally supply a two port valve with the cylinder so no excuse

Would want a few more install one on each of the safety’s but not a requirement that’s why it’s in the niggle cat

Your main safety issue is the port valves
