Ah i see, from what i read this is unnecessary, certainly in the commercial headers because they have baffles to separate the flow/return water

The neutraliser will prevent the rads thermosyphoning, as they will not see the pressure difference, and therefore not the motive power for circulation.

I would put the rare on the pipe work of the boiler that you are planning to use as your primary heat source before the neutraliser or LLH.

I have seen several old systems where the two boilers are joined with swept tree, then into the coil, no neutraliser.  If you are purely gravity then that might work.

Ok what about siting the neutraliser on the same floor as the rads (first floor) and plumb them on a circuit off of one set of outputs?
That way the boilers will thermosyphon to it and the rads and the cylinder will thermosyphon from it

I can do a pic if necessary

Perhaps ignore the precise piperuns to the neutraliser, just the overall idea
