Discuss Unvented cylinder size in the UK Plumbers Forums area at PlumbersForums.net

Cws tank to current vented cylinder....yes.
Why does the feed and expansion for the boiler need to be a mimimum 2m??

To have a high resistance so when hot water only is on it doesn’t pump over

You are assuming the feed and vent are connected either side of the boiler? I'd have the feed and vent both on the suction side of the pump on a low head system, no pumping over and only consideration is enough head to prevent cavitation.
 
Like this. Both cold feed and vent on the flow pipe off the boiler.
