L Cylinder and a normal Cylinder?

And is it worth the extra £500 to supply and fit one when I have a good newish hot water tank?

We're talking about Hot water Cylinder thanks

Thanks

I take it by "L cylinder",it means it complies with part L of the building regs and must meet certain standards for insulation,efficiency of the hot water heater etc.I wouldn't pay an extra £500 for one.

dont forget to fit a clacker rod or your spiv bearing will not fit into the dangle bar

I hope youre not talking about the two types of cylinder here ...
One that needs an overhead filler tank (in the loft usyually)
and one that doesnt , but has an expansion box with it outside the tank (or older ones inside the tank itself ...
they are 2 totally different methods of operation ..

Call the plumber and ask him what it means. Then there can be no doubt. Ask him to explain the differences so that you can understand. If he won't, just mention tha\t you will need to get another qquote. You should do that anyway, really. Get two more quotes and by then you should be something of an expert. Win-win. :-)

to be fair most in the merchants wont have a clue either. Most know what everything is called but not a clue about how to use them

I've no idea about L cylinders but I know the term 'plumbing' comes from the Latin for lead, plumbum. I think we should bring back the term - he's got no plumbum in his pencil.

Ive neverheard of an L cylinder, he probably means Part L

It's a sad indictment of the modern workforce that they wouldn't know how the boiler worked. It becomes rather important from a safety aspect during installation and even more important when trying to trace the cause of a malfunction. :-(
