    I am making changes to a single story two bedroom cottage which uses oil fired burner for central heating. The hot tank is a is heated by way of a branch pipe from the rad pipes with a return branch also.There is a circulationpump on the pipes for the radiators.
    I am now moving the hot tank to another room so, I was going to run a seperate pipe from the oil burner/boiler
    to and from the hot tank. The route for this pipe will be via the attic, so my question is will the hot water flow
    ok to/from the hot tank to heat the water.
    The cold tanks, Main and expansion, are on raised platform in the attic, so always higher than any other water flow.

    I assume you are doing this for hot water when you don't need the C.H. and are putting an MV on the C>H> side of the pipework. It should work fine. Just make sure there is a safety valve on the Boiler, and you maintain open expansion to the header tank. Also to maintain good gravity in the New circuit keep the flow pipe about a meter above the return and then fall to the cyl in the Attic.
    I hope all of this makes sense to you.
