Hi,


No problems at all , no leaks, used it regular before xmas,

had no need for it this week as its mild now, and been out catching up.

4 hours heats up 400 litres,

I'm about to fit a 27" one into a 400ltr flat tank. Cold weather to return up here next week!

I'm sure someone on here said he would fit them....




....can't for the life of me remember who it was.

i would not fit a 27 inch horizonnal its not reccomended go for an 11inch if its 27 inch vertical its ok

iam tryin to get a plumber mate to fit me a 27,, immersiuon and he aint keen in a plastic tank.

why vertical & how did you fit it becouse he says he dont know how he would fit it without the inside being threaded

[darren clarke]

gazza what temp you heating too?

[formb]

You need a backnut or flange to fit in the plastic tank.

The flange is the better option, you get them from toolstation.

I heard that over 14" needed to be vertical, no idea why

[mike richardson]

is the flange silicond or screwd in place?? n ill av a look at toolstation

It screws in, but we used silicone as well.

No leaks.

That's to do with domestic copper tanks. A 14" immersion fitted into the top of a domestic tank won't heat much water, that's why they make longer ones.

There again, a 27" fitted horizontal in a domestic tank would be too long & hit the opposite side of the tank rendering it useless.

Makes sense.

depending where you are fitting it and what tank you could find a 27 inch hitting a central baffle

You're right.

Mine's going below the filler cap which allows me to get to the inside of it. It will will also miss the baffle this way.

Baffle What baffle ive used my tank ion my van for 5 yrs n aint gota baffle 

[formb]

What size tank you got. Anything over 200 should be baffled.

1000 ltr IBC but well strapt down and anchord through the reinforced floor with 5 ton eye bolts it is usually full aswell. its been in van 4 yr and hardly feel it is in the van but most of my custom is rural with hardly any stop go trafic
