I am trying to fit new cylinder is it acceptable to fit 22mm flexable connectors to the heating ports, space is very limited.

oh tony.... are you trying to use a braided steel flexi connector to pipe your cylinder? shame on thee.
these are designed for bath and basin taps so i give you a thumbs down.
in the tightest cylinder cupboards you cant get any closer than 22 female iron to coppers and 22mm street elbows... have you got a blowlamp?

dont do tone! i cant bear another bodge, friend.... Mr. Green

I beg to differ Straker,

22mm cylinder unions and a 22mm street elbow will save you another 10mm of space!

And a Conex 403 bent female iron to copper will be even closer than that. Laughing

i'd never use bent female irons to copper on cylinder coils! if it leaks on the screwed part, you dont get a 2nd chance to tighten it up!

at least with straights you can nip it up a touch in the HIGHLY unlikely event of me getting a "joint failure" Wink
