Is it in the top or in the side of the HW Vessel? What size is the HW Vessel?

mmmmmmmmmm u not nmaking much sense but take a long one and short one with you think they are 27" and 11" normally if it is an unvented cyl, replace with manufacturers own kit

 

[Dotty]

Vented or unvented?

What size cylinder?

Have you the appropriate electrical supply?

Of course you'll need a G3 ticket if it's an unvented cylinder. For the hard of thinking: remove the thermostats & measure it, stick a straightened wire coat hanger into the thermostat pocket to double check the thermostat length.
