Evening all,
Is it corroect that I can run a towel rail of my domestic ho****er
supply?


no... well you could but it would only work when the tap was open. Some
value inline with a shower perhaps - the towels would be warm when you
are done.


Just spent a week in a holiday cottage with exactly this system, except
that *all* hot water went through the rail. Took aeons to come out of
the kitchen tap...... (I assume the basic plumbing was contemporary with
the house, early 50s at a guess, back-boiler supplemented by an
immersion heater. The place wasn't a throwback though, it was nicely
modernised, miles from anywhere and no mobile phone signal. Wonderful).
