Fitting position for a calorifier

Post by Sagemagoo »

I bought one of these from out of a BT van - it basically plumbs into your engine cooling system and your cold water supply and uses the engine heat to provide you with hot water. It's about the size of a football plus the plumbing pipes.

Has anyone fitted one of these and if so, where did you put it?

Dont know what all that steam talk is about!
Basicly just an indirect way of heating the cold water, If I was to fit one of these I would fit it before the thermostat so that it is being heated constantly.
Is there any way of managing the temperature of the hot water from this?
