    Trying to get my head around plumbing for new build,

    I’d like to hear from anyone running a solid fuel boiler ( multifuel or gasifyer)
    and buffer tank, heating rads.


    What system are folk using for DHW, a secondary dhw cylinder, if so vented, or unvented?


    I’m thinking along the lines of ,….
    mulitfuel boiler and buffer tank in the outhouse,
    pipes running underground to inside of house (3-4m) to my hotpress area.
    In hotpress have an unvented tank.

    Buffer feeds 3 zones,
    ground floor,
    upstairs
    coil in dhw , (in house tank)

    possible oil burner fitted, as back-up, at a later date,..

    I like the idea of the having the buffer ,better for the boiler,plus having that breathing space before having to fire up the boiler again.

    I’m leaning toward the unvented DHW…
    for mains pressure showers ( 2 at first floor level),
    plus no expansion tank in attic

    experiences, ideas welcome..:)
