domestic hot water pumps (Read 2306 times)

ynot47 Junior Member Offline Whats that noise? Posts: 12 Total Thanks: 0 For This Post: 0 Gender:	domestic hot water pumps Aug 6^th, 2004, 7:27pm I'm fitting a pump on the hot water supply. Question is do I need to fit a non return valve on the expansion pipe to prevent air being drawn into the system when the pump cuts in? Pump is in the airing cupboard and there is approx 12 feet of head above the pump. Any help would be appreciated Tony

Follow the makers installation instructions so as not to suck air down the pipe.
