Stainless steel cylinders, are they any good????

[bruceyboy]

Was considering buying a vented 1050 x 450 indirect cylinder from screwfix, does anyway know of/
or fitted any of these cylinders? What is general feedback on stainless. I have fitted a few unvented heatrae sadia megaflos with no problems......

To me a cylinders a cylinder, not fitted any vented SS but plenty unvented. Whats the warranty like on the SS vented?

[SimonJohns]

only issue ive ever found with a ss, is that on the albion ss uv cylinder is that the immersions are specials(2" thread)

Just had that with the center store. They use heatrae sadia.

thanks for replies, there is a 10 year warranty with the cylinders.

Fitted my first today well actually 2, got them from plumbfix the trade side of screwfix and they were cheaper than PTS could do by £35 +vat each . RM Aquasel 1050x450 ind with 10 year warranty tested to 3bar grade 1 cylinder. Even Screwfix price is cheaper than PTS. Not a fan of the sheds but the merchants need to wake up.

They are very well built a lot stronger than a copper one but heavier I think. No fear of twisting the immersion boss in a few years time trying to remove the immersion!

The immersions on unvented cylinders are different thread sizes for a reason, so you cant fit a normal immersion without the safety stat.

that plumbnation website seems like a good place for prices, just got 2 oversink water heaters from there ordered late monday they arrived today and were much cheaper than plumbfix and my merchants.
