No not at all , I have a garage full lol , to keep the mega flow to spec Ash just needs a prv, he can use existing ex valve , check valve , etc etc

Thanks townfanjon, Im waiting on a reply from the landlord, I will update either way. Thanks

Ash , go to unventedcomponents.com .look at
PRED330001 , i think its the same prv.

As mentioned above , I would check for any blockages etc , check valve stuck etc etc before buying one, tell landlord there may have to be 2 visits , you arent a miracle worker

Thanks for the advice townfanjon. I will use them in the future but if the landlord goes for it I will get the one I posted about just so I can get it sorted in time for the weekend.

Pretty sure megaflow ex valve is set to 8 bar the calefi one in the pic is 5 bar ( by memory) .

Ash if it is not too far away from you go back & remove the section of pipe you will find the small white cap blocking the pipe we have had a few of these. You do not need to replace the PRV but may be you can alter the pipework so it is how Part G & the MI's say it should be installed & not likely to be much difference in the cost (you shouldn't even need to drain the cylinder as the check valve will hold the water from coming back).
