My new copper hot water cylinder has been delivered to replace a leaking cylinder, so now I need to install it. Before ordering, I checked that it is exactly the same size as the old cylinder with the connections in the same places.
Can anyone please give me (or point me towards) a brief guide to the connections? As they are threaded, do I use plumbers' hemp and boss white on the threads or is PTFE tape man enough for the job? What is the best way to seal the immersion heater to the tank while making sure it can easily be removed in future?
Any and all advice will be very, very welcome.
Tony
