Im currently pricing a house client wants oil boiler and wood stove feeding his hot water and heating. i no how to pipe the system but my problem is i wldve piped the rads with copper since solid fuel is being used. but clients says he wants 2 use plastic pipe in pipe from rads to manifolds in hp which i wld normaly do minus solid fuel source.He said 2 other plumbers have priced it already and r using plastic they said it wld be fine

He doesnt want copper under floor in house but accepts he has to use 28mm from stove


So what do i do,
Has ne1 used plastic before in this way
 
would not consider using plastic on solid fuel asking for trouble
 
Is the stove being piped to a buffer vessel or direct to heating
 
Was actually looking at mayb using 1 of those cylinders that work back to front hot water in coil and heating water in cylinder.


Nebody recommend this setup?????

Hello, I am seeking some advice, I have a POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler and I noticed yesterday that the water around the house is no longer warming up. The heat exchanger has been changed 6 months ago, so I do not believe it is that. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks
