August 31, 20233 yr Perhaps someone can tell me, is the silver coloured circular component to the right of the picture anything other than just a way of joining three pipes together before connecting to the pump? TIA
August 31, 20233 yr That's an odd one - is it four pipes, the one at the back looks like it might be going somewhere close?

No, it's three pipes going in, two on the flat end and one on the curved surface. There's one pipe out on the opposite flat suface to the pump.
August 31, 20233 yr Some kind of zone diverter valve maybe? Like: https://www.screwfix.com/p/flomasta-27901sx-3-port-motorised-valve-22mm-22mm-compression/7091G

August 31, 20233 yr Yeah, if it doesn't have any power, probably not. Would help to know where the connections go...

It's a right pigs dinner of a setup with bits added at various times by the look of it. When we get a new boiler, or A2A, it will all be replaced. There are hot water pipes that zigzag along the utility room wall, all the pipes uninsulated.
August 31, 20233 yr It is an air separator. Cold feed and vent connect in to it...Flow or return go through.

August 31, 20233 yr Air separator probably piped up with a cold feed and a vent pipe - will be a gravity system no doubt that has been converted in the past and prone to sucking in air.
