Any suggestions on unblocking this cold feed without taking the tank out and removing the shelf . I've got a bottle of cleaner in and tried mains water on it but no joy. I can get about half way down the back of the cylinder .the red dots are cold feed and tee.

Yeah I don't see an issue.

You'll never unblock the feed without repiping. I'm guessing you've backfilled the system and you've got no issues with circulation?
Yeah backfilled the tee is clear apart from where the cold feed enters. Any recommendations where on the vent to combine it. Cheers

I'd combine it in the loft, tee off as low as you can in 15mm to feed on tank.
Much appreciated thanks
