A sink and basin normally exit through gravity to a hull fitting. A shower or bath is generally plumbed with a Whale Gulper.
the shower room as got one aswell half way up all I was thinking is there a better way to get waste out as it looks slighty unsightly ill get some pics for Saturday kitcken ones not a problem because its behind the work units and cant be seen but bathroom one will be seen unless some sort of boxing in is made thanks

Its not a reversible sink top! If the boat is ballasted properly, level, it should drain.
it ist I think that's why we just put it in that way but it is defentley worth lookin at again id like to think that the floor is going to be pretty level but surpose if it does just means changing thanks again will keep some posts comeing as moveing on doing more on the boat always intresting to see if from someone elses perspective just a quick question tho the waste for the sink and the bath im guessing they have to be pumped out of them waste holes drilled threw the hull
surpose theres one good point from this can do the pots from out side now lol

Looks good Jay. Can't tell if that is the stern up your steps. If so, there maybe an issue with draining board not draining properly
I hate to say it but your right guessing when the boats in the water now the water is going to just keep draining onto the worktop surpriseing what you learn thanks for the info will set to turn that round now thanks

intresting it does look like theres a 1 been stuck over the 3 I will pull that off on Saturday now and if theres a 3 behind it im just going to leave it to someone else because who ever fitted it is tryin to cover something up id say
I find it a bit ironic how they have seemed to cover up all the details about the tank witch makes me suspect who ever fitted it may be tryin to cover something up I reckons its going to be more trouble then its worth

And now there is a better photo you can see a 1 has been stuck over the 3 in the grade. I would go by grade 3 which is if I remember 10m of head, not the 25m for grade 1

its says max working pressure is 3.5 think I have a better picture on here I think from your advise and what you have said Im going to take the route of just fitting all the rads up and hot and cold and were the tank sits in the eninge bay just let someone else to look at it ive got a feeling its going to cause more trouble then its worth and its not going to be nice for customer if its gos wrong at least I not be to blame sounds like people have had a few problems with doing theses be wise just to leave the tank for someone who nos more about them

Good spot.
I think it probably says 1.5 bar on the label - but it is hard to tell.If it does, then as Jen says, this is not a boat calorifier, but a domestic hot water cylinder.
It will almost certainly fail over time if it is subjected to the pressures associated with a boats pumped system, which are typically double what it looks like it says it is rated for.If that label does say 1.5 psi, save a load of future grief by scrapping it, and buying an actual calorifier.
(This isn't scaremongering - the previous owner of my boat had fitted domestic hot water cylinders, and, unsurprisingly, they were found to be leaking, and I had to write them off).
I have a feeling you might be right there as I cannont find it anywere as marine one but only as a domestic and to be honest the label looks like its just been stuck on with no care im in two minds weather just to plumb all the hot cold and rads up as they should be then leave it before it gets connteced to the tank and seek professianl advise whats yours thoughts

Am I alone in thinking that if the OP know as little about marine plumbing
as his posts and photos suggest, he should not be taking money from a paying customer for this sort of work?
well to be polite I no plenty about plumbing but unsure of weather to plumb this system in hence me getting proper advise depending on what I think ill eaither take the course weather to do it my self or get a plumber whos done this before but thanks for your concern
1 hour ago, alan_fincher said:What on earth though is achieved by putting a 3bar PRV on a cylinder rated to only have a maximum 1.5 bar supply pressure?
It hardly inspires confidence.
The OP is not giving the impression they know enough about boat plumbing to install a deliberately low pressure pump, and then try and compensate for poor delivery rates by large bore pipework, (or any other suggestion just made by others).
All I can say is I have had a boat that came with a 1.5 bar rated cylinder and water pissing out of it.
I know what I'd do in this case, and it wouldn't involve trying to use this cylinder.At the end of the day, though, I guess it is up to the OP if they want to risk it.
the diagram of the cylinder is what telford can only match it up to its not the actual one they have shown only said its very simaler

the hoses don't look to clever to be honest and didt even cross my mind when it heats up bound to come off at some point I think the hole on the left next to the sticker is maybe flow and return for central heating ive also asked telford them selfs and they cant seem to find this tank any more so was wondering if it was just a odd one laying about before being fitted into this boat
this is what telford have sent back on to the only one they could find
5 minutes ago, Jen-in-Wellies said:Would be worth talking to Telford's with the details on the label. I've not come across them before as suppliers of marine calorifiers and their web site doesn't mention them being in that market. The may be able to give details of the ports for you. In particular you need to check that it is designed for a working pressure around 3 to 3.5 bar. The picture in your post most resembles some of the vented cylinders on their web site, which are usually designed for lower working pressure and may not cope with 3.5 bar. It could be a tank designed for a combination of central heating boiler and solar thermal hot water, hence the twin heating coils. The two ports low down is weird. Would expect only one. Also the port 3/4 the way up.
Jen
this is what telford have sent back if that makes any sense

ive seen this one before it shows the basics witch I get but just doest show much detail on the cylinder and with you sayin the hot comes out the top its get me even more confused wondering why the boat builders would fit it like that makes me wonder now
would that mean the prv is being fitted to the cold feed of the tank and would it need a exspanstion vessal would it be good practice to fit one thanks

yes it has I was thinking that I couldt get my head round it but who every built the boat has installed all this with no help on how to install the rest so would you say tap into the top with a tee and come off there for the hot thanks

hi I am new to this site but after some help please I took on job fitting out a narrow boat for a customer and confused when it comes round to plumbing the calorifier in
I have been researching the cylinder and so far I have got that it is a telford twin coil calorifier being feed from a webasto heater and also running off the engine I get the basics of how it works twin coils heating the tank up cold feed at bottom flow and return for central heating then I get confused to were the hot water is surpose to being comeing out please can someone help before I have an internal flood or melt down and maybe the best way to plumb this system up valves, expansion tanks, regulators etc I have uploaded the cylinder any diagrams of how things works makes more sense to me then technical terms many thanks
installing a twin coil calorifier HELP!! please

well as you know it is for a customer so has normall just do as they ask I did wonder a shower might be better its something I can put to them but makes sense
