Hi all
I'm probably being over-cautious here, but before I delve in I'd better ask....
My father in law has an open vented CH system but much to my suprise the F/E tank in the loft (suspended on two pieces of sagging 22mm copper across two ceiling joists!!) has to be topped up manually and there's no overflow fitted.
Now I dont particularly want him climbing up his rickety old set of wooden step ladders to check the level of the tank and to top up as necessary (he does this on a monthly basis) as he's now approaching his 80's.
What I'd like to do is to move the FE tank nearer the airing cupboard (i.e. above it in the loft) and pop it on a proper platform, supply a cold feed to it and fit a ballcock and an overflow.
Is this the right thing to do.. hoping it is and you'll all say "Yup - Go for it kidda"
Thanks in advance
