Hi guys
I am looking for a supplier that I can buy a twin flue conector I think rino man had one so that I can have two heaters sat side by side and sharing a single flue pipe but a cowl to direct the fumes up a single 4 inch pipe
Thanks for the help oliver rise n shine cleaning

Your pumps will tolerate temps of 60 degrees. Why not plumb your heater before your pumps and see if that works.
Dave Willis uses his heater that way round - tank, heater, pump, hose reel, brush.
So yours would go; tank, heater, Y branch, pumps, hose reels, brushes. Keep temps at 20 and 40 degrees at the heater depending on outside temps.

I thought the question was on about a twin flu for venting two lpg water heater spruce ???
Rhinoman probably had one fabricated to spec knowing him ::)roll

it is .....spruce is suggesting using one heater then splitting the feed to two pumps /poles.

Thanks for the idea bruce
I had thought of that!
But I normal work at 55 to 60 on two pumps 3 days a week to get the correct flow to both reels for two of us cleaning !
I would think I would have to max out one pump to 100 percent and turn water right up
Any ideas if that would b the case

You can still have two pumps and run them at the same settings as before , just use a y splitter after the boiler to serve both pumps .
If you buy the right boiler it will be good enough to get a decent temp for each pole .
The downside is that when one of you shuts there pole valve the water to the other pole will get hotter .

Roy Harding mentioned this on another post today. Oliver has one of those Ebay 8 LPM LPG heaters so I would have thought that if the temp on the thermostat is set at 40 degrees then that would be the max temp the water would be raised to.
Maybe it would be an idea to try it and see what transpires when one of them does switch his pole flow off. Would switching off the summer setting when both are using the system compensate for the extra water flow through the heater?

There was a cleaner on here who had 3 x 8 liter heaters linked into a single flue pipe. 2 of the 3 where in use and the third was a spare.

Good point spruce , I'm not sure how good the thermostats are on those cheap boilers ,
