Vented Warning
The installation should be carried out by an authorised installation engineer,
in compliance with general and local regulations (1.3 "Regulations") .
3.6.1 Cold water side
See (A) in the installation diagram (3.5 "Installation diagram") .
1. Fit an approved stop valve (4) on the cold water side between the cold water
head tank (18) and the appliance, as required by
regulations
(1.3 "Regulations") .
3.6.2 Hot water side
See (B) in the installation diagram (3.5 "Installation diagram") .
Note
Insulating long hot water pipes prevents unnecessary energy loss.
1. Fit the T&P valve (3).
2. Optional: fit a temperature gauge (12) so you can check the temperature of
the tap water.
3. Fit a stop valve (4) in the hot water outlet pipe, for use when servicing.
4. If a circulation pipe is required, continue further by installing the circulation
pipe (3.6.3 "Circulation pipe") .
3.6.3 Circulation pipe
See (C) in the installation diagram (3.5 "Installation diagram") .
If an immediate flow of hot water is required at draw-off points, a circulation
pump can be installed. This improves comfort and reduces water wastage.
1. Fit a circulation pump (6) of the correct capacity for the length and resistance
of the circulation system.
2. Fit a non-return valve (5) behind the circulation pump to guarantee the
direction of circulation.
3. Fit two stop valves for service purposes (4).
4. Connect the circulation pipe to the cold water supply pipe.
3.6.4 Condensation drainage
1. Fit a sloping wastewater pipe to the siphon (13) for condensation drainage
and connect this to the wastewater discharge in the boiler room.
Caution
All fittings behind the siphon must be condensation-resistant.
