New Immersion cylinder - OK to leave second coil disconnected?

Dec 17, 2018 Last reply: 7 years ago 3 Replies

Today I've bought a new immersion cylinder with 2 coils.



Hope to connect it to the existing rayburn and water tank tomorrow.



The second coil is for fitting to a solar vacuum water heater in the Spring.



Can I leave it disconnected?



I believe I shouldn't light the rayburn with no water in as it would crack the tank, but this copper wouldnt get above 100 degrees C so is it OK to leave the second coil disconnected?

Well it will be in water after all, so that should even things out temperature wise. I guess you could put some water in it but leave the ends open assuming they are higher than the coil of course! Brian
