Insulate a Unvented Cylinder

[Sitchey]

Hi

I have a warmflow unvented water cylinder (indirect 250) in a hotpress. It was installed two years ago, but never had any lagging put around it.

Wanted to ask if that would have been for a reason why it wouldn't have, and also would insulation be a good idea to warp around the tank?

Thanks

They come pre lagged / insulated

Ok so it's lagged inside?

Yes. What you see is a cover. There's 50mm insulation underneath before you get to the actual cylinder.

Thanks. Just wasn't sure

It is important to insulate all the pipes though. Most manufacturers state within 2m ish of the cylinder but I would recommend doing any pipes that service the cylinder right up to where ever they disappear into walls and floors.

Ok thanks. Yes all the pipes aren't lagged at all. I'll get that rather than the tank lagging
