How do I know if I have an S Plan or Y plan heating system?
The main difference between an S and a Y plan is that a Y Plan has a single, three-port valve supplying both the central heating and/or hot water. This three-port valve is shaped like the letter ‘Y’ when you look at it from a schematic layout of pipework point of view, as seen below.
What is S and Y plan?
By way of a reminder, a Y plan uses a mid-position valve to direct the primary flow through the heating circuit, hot water circuit, or both, while the S plan utilises at least two separate zone valves for both the heating and hot water functions. The style of system design chosen can be influenced by many factors.
What is C plan heating?
Sundial C Plan. The Sundial C Plan is designed to provide independent temperature control of both heating and hot water circuits in existing pumped heating, gravity domestic hot water heating installations. Time control must be provided by programmer.
Why is it called an S PLAN heating system?
The reason this system is called a ‘S’ plan heating system is because of the shape of the system when drawn schematically.
