Indirect Cylinders

Indirect cylinders are a popular choice for heating hot water in many homes. Indirect relates to the way the water is heated. Unlike direct cylinders that use an internal heating element, indirect cylinders are specifically designed to work in conjunction with an external heat source, whether that’s your gas boiler, oil boiler, a renewable energy source, or a combination of multiple heat sources. By using an external heat source, indirect cylinders can operate with remarkable efficiency, helping you save money on your energy bills.

Indirect cylinders store the heated water in the cylinder, ensuring that you have a readily available source of hot water whenever you need it. This is particularly useful for larger households with high hot water demands, as it eliminates the risk of running out of hot water during peak usage times. With a taller and slimmer design, our slimline indirect hot water cylinders are ideal if you’re limited on space.

At Fuel Tank Shop, our indirect cylinders are built to last and, with proper care, will provide reliable hot water for many years to come. They are constructed using only the highest-quality materials, by reputable manufacturers including Kingspan, Main, Megaflo, and Heatrae Sadia.
