Bit more info required Andy !! What are we talking about heating or hot / cold water systems? & Why do you want to do it ?

Hi thanks for getting back to me , basically I have just come back into the industries after 3 years out working in Australia and I am just a bit rusty on a few things and need to build my Confidence up , not done many conversions and the jobs I am going for are asking me if I can convert open vented systems into a combination boiler so I just need to know what I do with the flow and return hot and cold at the cylinder , what I cut off , link what I do with the tanks in the loft ... Tried to research it on the Internet but no joy. , I just want to no what I am doing and so I don't make a mistake ,

How about you post up what you think is required / what goes where & we will comment (& we will be gentle, promise).
What was you doing in OZ, plumbing ?, did you get your tickets over there??

You might also want to check back occasionaly on the thread you posted initially that asks the same question with equally little information. I believe its here. http://www.ukplumbersforums.co.uk/showthread.php?p=577688

Each one will be different and you will have to think on your feet when you see the airing cupboard. They could have gravity showers or shower pumps so there's no generic answer.

However for somebody thats been in the industry its pretty basic stuff. Sure your not a diyer trying to pull the wool over?

No, no. That must have been a different OP - that one had been in Oz for only TWO years, not three...

Something a bit fishy I reckon...
