Unvented Cylinders

Unvented Cylinders are high-pressure hot water storage cylinders that provide mains-pressure hot water directly to taps and showers, delivering reliable, high-flow performance without the need for a cold water tank.

About Unvented Cylinders

Unvented cylinders store domestic hot water under mains pressure, ensuring strong and consistent flow throughout the property. They are sealed units that include safety valves, expansion vessels, and other necessary components to maintain pressure and prevent system damage. Unvented cylinders are compatible with boilers, heat pumps, or renewable energy sources and are ideal for modern homes or commercial properties requiring high-demand hot water.

Performance & Maintenance

Install unvented cylinders according to manufacturer instructions and local regulations. Check all valves and pressure components regularly and ensure the expansion vessel is correctly charged. Inspect the insulation and external surfaces for damage or wear. For systems with smart controls, verify settings and schedules periodically. Annual servicing by a qualified engineer is recommended to maintain safety, efficiency, and optimal hot water performance.
