speed fit on secondary return

[sheff paul]

Just changing some dodgy waste pipes on a dubious bathroom job installed by a DIYer putting speed fit in as some has already been fitted in for some time before ,then notice's the unvented has a secondary return fitted.Do I finish it off in plastic and get done for lunch,or do I rip it all out and get home late,this job is a favour money free one.Has anyone fitted platic on a secondary return set up,yes I know you should not use it.

as long as there is a pump and nrv

saw something on speed fit info about not using it,yes it is pumped and there has been some in for quite some time

I have seen it done quite a few times and done it myself on first fix.

I did see last week in a magazine it shouldn't be used on constant hot water circuits. The mag is in the van but haven't read it yet.

I was under the same impression boiler circs are far hotter than a secondary circuit 10 metres away from the cylinder
