WATER SYSTEM PIPEWORK

Carlton was delivered with the hull already primed and the bottom blacked.

 

The first three images are of the pipework on the right hand side of the boat looking to the front of the boat from the back.

The larger thicker pipes are the cental heating "ring" that will eventually go from and return to the central heating boiler.

The radiators will feed from and return to this "ring".
 
This image shows where the central heating boiler will be placed, connections have already been fitted and covered with black tape to prevent dust and rubbish getting in to the system.

 

Although this image is looking to the rear of the boat, this image and the following image show the pipework on the left hand side of the boat looking to the front of the boat from the back.
The torch is illuminating the water tank underneath the bow deck, where fresh water will be drawn from for washing and cooking purposes.
Apparently some call it a regulator, others an accumulator, to me it is a big round red ball.
But I am told it provides instant supply of water to the taps and shower when they are switched on, without it there would be a delay for the water pump to supply water to the particular unit.
You can also see the stainless steel water tank (better shown in earlier photographs) and the water pump, to the right of the "ball".
