Water Tank Location, siphon over a vaulted ceiling?

magnethead

Hi,
Could you please see the image below, does this break any plumbing laws of physics? THere are 2 bathrooms forward of this section(one up and one down).
But I'm wondering if a Cold water tank could feed a shower/sink in a Master onsuite, by jumping a vaulted ceiling like shown?

Thanks for your advise

Why isn't the tank over the master . Just a question

jca

Is that pipe actually going out through the ridge? I couldn't see it working tbh.

Hiya,
Nope, there is a small enclosed space at the top of the Vaulted ceiling, I can run pipe through. WOn't have to break the ridge ;p LOL
There is no tank over the master, because I just thought they should all use the same water tank, but maybe there is no issue having a seperate tank over the master (there would be space)

THere is 2 bathrooms on the side of the house where I'm showing the tank at the moment, the Master is on the other side of the vaulted ceiling

thanks agin

First answer, a straight pipe directly from the tank? Nope, not like that.
I presume you want to get cold and hot water to the bathroom.
Where is your Hot Press in all of this?
If its in the right place then a correctly located Negative Head pump may be your answer.

Sorry for the delay K.Flyer , there is a plant room on the ground floor that will have the Cylinder, so I imagined a negative head pump would be needed there for the HOT at least. But I thought I'd get away without the Cold having to be pumped too.

You will create problems for yourself if you pressurise hot and not cold, or vise versa.
Plant room on ground floor with cylinder??
Why not fit a cold storage tank and unvented cylinder in the plant room and pump everything from there? Much better set up for many reasons.

mmm. I was slightly worried about a tank refilling over my sons room too, everytime someone flushed the toilet, might get annoying for him.

I'll look into those reasons then(Why one side creates problems) and check out the space requirements for the tank in the plant room, I think it should be good.

THanks for your help.

If you have a gravity feed from a cold tank to an upstairs bathroom (0.3 bar) coupled with a hot water pumped pressure (1.5 bar) the hot pressure will hold back the cold flow in mixer taps and shower valves making it very difficult to blend hot / cold water.
