What grade is a cylinder?
This thickness is measured in grades; the majority of domestic cylinders will be Grade 3, while cylinders with a heavier workload will usually be Grade 1 or 2. Higher grade copper is more resistant to corrosion, meaning a copper cylinder can last for decades.
What are the different types of hot water cylinders?
What is a Hot Water Cylinder
- Unvented cylinder. Because this storage system feeds off mains water pressure it requires no cold-water storage tank and head of water to increase that pressure.
- Open vented cylinder.
- Direct cylinder.
- Indirect cylinder.
- Solar cylinder.
What is a single coil cylinder?

Can the boiler coil be fitted as high recovery?
The boiler coil which (if fitted) is manufactured to BS 1566, can also be supplied as high recovery to improve reheat time and reduce boiler cycling. Cylinder connections and sizes can be specified as required. The high efficiency solar coil is fitted with 15mm or 22mm compression and with all connections protruding beyond the insulation.
