I've got a brand new one in my garage somewhere, might be a twelve incher - I'd have to measure it.

Hi Dave.
14 inch 2kw heaters are really rare. Spent ages looking.
Dont know where the guys are getting them.
Did the heat rod shop make you one up as a special?
Thanks.
Chris

Yes, they do 14" and 17."

Cheers Dave.
Rang them today after trying to find it on their  website.
The lady started asking about boss sizes and then told me to look on the website!
I emailed them but have not heard anything.
Try again tomorrow.

It's a game of three halves!

Ask to speak to Phil Roberts, he really knows his stuff. Mine is a 2 1/4" boss to match  this   http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Heating/d230/Central+Heating+Accessories/sd2708/Mechanical+Flange/p38614  which you have to make a hole for.

2kw immersions are a special order and are not on their website, they take around 10 days to make and deliver.

Good job i never ordered mine from there but its good to get the feedback ,
 The brackets come as standard on a brodex system well fitted haha .
 The tank is about 10mm thick so plenty to screw into and i found that out after i drilled the hole for the immersion i couldn't get the mechanical flange on as the thread did not come through the tank .  I got it sorted eventually  :)
