tundish
The word tundish originates from a shallow wooden dish with an outlet channel, fitting into the bunghole of a tun or cask and forming a kind of funnel for filling it. These were originally used in brewing.
In general, any tundish will accept flow and store a small amount of material, while dispensing material elsewhere, similar to a funnel. In contrast to a funnel, the purpose is generally to regulate flow, and achieve a more steady output with intermittent inputs, and the tundish typically will take on a different shape.

Hi All,
First post...
I bought a new Bellway house last year and have had a few probs with it since moving in. After around 4 months (December 2010) I noticed damp in the kitchen ceiling below the cylinder. On inspection the water (cold) appeared to be leaking from the tundish, which tuned...
we recently had hot water being discharged from the tundish pipe on our boiler on a regular basis, immediately after the bolier had been on.
We called a plumber out who within 2 mins told us it must be the t&prv valves and he would need to replace them (he did not inspect anything). He came...
