Have come to flush a large house, vented heating, invented hot water.

Go to the header tank and there's no vent pipe :/ just the feed, overflow and cold in..

Huh?!?!?
 
Never seen it before.. how stupid do I feel now!!!

I would not feel stupid you cannot know everything... you learn everyday even though you don't notice it much.

But you've got the good reliable lads here they are always helpful so It's like a little family helping each other :)

It is indeed Matchless Plumb - dunno what I'd do without you lot!!!!

Ease up on yourself Jay!!!!!

Just because you haven't seen something done someway before doesn't make you stupid!

I don't think anyone on here thinks you are stupid.

Nor do I think anyone on here thinks you questions are stupid.

Ok - you don't have the experience of some of us, bus some of us with experience still get stumped, and we have to call someone with more experience.

That's nothing to be ashamed about.

Keep asking questions on here and you will get the best answers from experienced plumbers.

Don't worry - we've got your back.

I got mad love for Shaun, I'm not gonna lie :) haha

Well Jay,

I only give advice on particulars that I am experienced in.

As stated in earlier post, we all get stumped on somethings, and I am stumped!.

PM Croppie for further advice on how you should proceed !!!!!

Haha good reply!!
 
Well I have to but in here (excuse my interrupting the underpant discussions for a Mo), and ask the question !!!

I've seen plenty of combined feed and vent before but not without the vent pipe, as in vent over tank and cold feed tee'd into the vent.

If I saw a system with no vent pipe 'at all', ! I would be pondering too.

So .....pray tell, is this some odd ball set up that plumbers in other parts of the UK use ? or am I missing the point

Which is why I saw it and went ... 'huh?' (Literally)

Well Jaydebruyne, In my humble opinion you are right to go 'Huh'?

I'd be looking into that further. Never known an open vented system without a vent.

You're either missing something or it's wrong ! In my opinion
