I am fitting an shower pump (Salamander ESP 100, negative head) under the HWC in a gravity fed system.
I have run the pipework for the cold feed in, the cold out and the hot out, all in 22mm, as per spec.
But before i do the hot supply in from the cylinder, i wanted to check what's recommended by you guys if possible.
A couple of 'pro's' locally have told me i can use a compression tee off the horizontal out of the HWC and drop it down & across in 22mm to the pump for the hot feed.
Will this actually 'work' or am i better off getting an S flange fitted now?
Salamander obviously say an S or an Essex is vital.)
But...I can do the tee as above (I think) using a compression but think i'd need a plumber for the S flange and, at the end of the day, am trying to keep the costs down (& also learn as much as i can about plumbing jobs anyway out of interest).
So will i be asking for trouble with the DIY (tee out of the vertical exit pipe on the HWC) job or is the S flange route worth it for peace of mind / pump efficiency etc?
Appreciate your views / experiences - primarily as out of all the guys i've spoken to on this, none can tell me with any degree of confidence they did one last week & really know what they're doing - so i don't want some joker learning on me, possibly making a Horlics and getting paid for it.
(Appreciate too i'm obviously speaking to the wrong ones so far - but in the meantime any advice would be great, thanks.)
