  Low loss headers

  Low-loss headers, also known as common headers, are now one of the most useful components integrated into a heating system. These devices work best in heating systems where boilers are connected directly to loads, as they can have a variable flow rate. Low-loss headers serve as the means of providing hydraulic separation of primary and separately pumped secondary circuits, which can help mitigate the fluctuation of flow rates. With a low-loss header, boilers can operate on a reliable, constant flow-rate, which helps greatly extend the boiler's lifespan. Installed vertically, low-loss headers can help with collecting sludge from the system, making the maintenance of a heating system far more manageable. Culm Stores offers a great selection of low-loss headers, with some of the best products on the market, manufactured by Elterm, the leader in the field, offering innovative solutions.

  Safety groups

  Safety groups are a necessary addition to heating systems that have an excess of pressure. They're installed on the supply pipe with the aim of preventing the water from flowing back into the main water pipe. A safety group consists of a pressure safety valve, a manometer, and an air purger. The valve stem of the safety group is pressed against the closing spring of the system, with the valve being adjusted manually during the installation process. Should the heating system fail and the pressure in the thermal circuit rise above normal, the valve will open, decreasing the pressure. A drain pipe is also implemented to the group, so that the user can be protected from burning should the valve suddenly open. Culm Stores offers a selection of reliable safety groups for all your heating system needs.

  Chemical dosing pot

  Chemical dosing pots are an essential component that is used to feed liquid chemicals, including corrosion inhibitors, into closed systems - this includes heating systems. They consist of a stainless steel vessel with inlet and outlet valves, a drain valve, and a filling valve, as well as a steel tundish, wall-mounting brackets, a release valve, and a non-return valve. Thanks to chemical dosing pots, closed re-circulating water systems can be used manually. This is achieved through a portion of the system water being drained away and replaced with the chemical, and then the chemical being flushed through upon re-connection. Culm Stores offers one of the best selections of chemical dosing pots, manufactured by some of the most reliable experts on the market, including Elterm.

  Connecting manifolds

  Connecting manifolds are mainly utilised in underfloor heating. They're an innovative part of heating installations, allowing for the connection between ring circuit systems and star pattern systems, letting you get the most benefits out of your system installation. With a manifold-based star system, the installation time can be improved by 40%, due to the fact that you can eliminate 75% of the joints, with the only joints required being for the wall hung radiators and the manifold. This, in turn, minimises leak potential. Manifolds give you central control and allow independent flow and return circuits to each radiator, making controlling energy requirement per radiator easier. With Culm Stores, you can count on some of the best selections of connecting manifolds in the field.

  Pump groups

  Pump groups are a means of connecting manifolds together. This allows for more complicated heating installations to be constructed. It is recommended that low-loss headers be used with a pump group in order to provide the greatest ease of use. Culm Stores offers a selection of pump groups that are guaranteed to help you organise your heating system better. Made by the finest manufacturers in the industry, including Elterm, the pump groups on our offer all utilise the most innovative solutions. Depending on your needs, you have a number of variants to choose from. Whether you want something with manual control or operated through an external controller, we have options for you.

  Magnetic filter-desilters

  Our magnetic filter MF-D DRYL is designed to work with systems where constant liquid cleaning from large magnetic and non – magnetic particles is essential. It also acts as an air vent which, in connection with its internal filter basket, works for better central heating system performance, improves energy efficiency and extends the life of your boiler and whole central heating system. Moreover, it stops tiny magnetic shards from being spread into the whole system, something which is directly responsible for causing rust and corrosion. MF-D also removes black ferrous oxide or ‘sludge’, which can seriously reduce boiler’s efficiency by limiting heat transfer or blocking pipes. This product can be used as a main filter through which 100% liquid is run. The magnetic filter is made of black construction steel (mild steel) but the whole internal area and parts, with the exception of the filter basket and magnet, are covered by a layer of zinc, thus helping to prevent corrosion. While cleaning, there is no need to remove the magnetic parts from the stainless-steel, non-magnetic basket, saving time and keeping your environment clean.

  Distribution Low Loss...

  Hot water cylinders are an indispensable part of most heating systems available today. There are two main types of cylinders utilised in homes - pressurised unvented hot water tanks and vented hot water tanks. Unvented hot water cylinders have no cold water tanks, with the sealed hot water cylinder fed directly by cold water mains. This means that they do not require space for an additional cold water tank, freeing up potential space in the loft. Vented hot water systems are the most commonly encountered water storage cylinder found in the UK, with copper tanks fed cold water from a header tank. Culm Stores offers a great selection of water storage cylinders, guaranteeing that you'll get a cylinder that suits your needs the best.
