Tiger loop

[stani]

Morning all,
question.
does a tiger loop have to be fitted outside, I have seen somewhere but can't find it now a quote of ' internal-external' which confused me, not hard, but if any one can clarify I would be grateful.

Yes a normal tiger loop is supposed to be fitted externally
But you can get an internal one witch is vented to outside with a pipe out the wall

Thanks Gray that's all I needed to know, on all the MI,s for Tigerloop it says external just got slightly confused when I heard internal. Not seen that one in use anywhere.

No worries mate glad to help

The tiger loop bio is the one you want if it is to be fitted internally

or a gok

Think I read somewhere (perhaps on this forum) that the Gok loop isn't as good as a tigerloop, think because it doesn't vent, so can't remove air? Expensive also.
The Tigerloop Bio is an exact replacement for the ordinary t.loop, except a metal top with a place for a vent pipe to connect to.

Never had a problem with the gok, but it is pricey. I'll have a look at the bio though the next time I need one.

Hi there i use the Gok-deaerator all the time, it vents any gases at the burner nozzle "closed system" so no need to run a breather pipe to vent externally. This saves me a lot of time and hassle so worth paying a few quid extra
Just my opinion!!!

Good point about time saved. Would be better a Gok if the boiler is nowhere near an outside wall for to vent.
My concern is does a Gok work as well as a Tigerloop Bio, because the T,loop removes the air & this should be better for economy & reduce nozzle drip. For that reason I would prefer T,loops where there is no problem putting a vent pipe to outside.
