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.

I rather like the idea of an unvented certificate. Is that really it's
name?


Yes, it comes in a sealed container. g
