Default Water supply to direct un-vented hot water cylinder.

I want to install a direct un-vented hot water cylinder in a flat. The install

to the building is 22m and then reduces to 15mm before the stop valve. Do i
need to isolate the main riser into the building in order to replace the 15mm
stop valve with 22mm or can I step up the pipe diameter back to 22m after
the 15mm stop valve without affecting the performance of the cylinder.


15mm is likely to give unsatisfactory flow.

If the unvented cylinder is over 15 litres you must have an Unvented Hot Water certificate to do this work.
