2.2.2.2
ACV hydraulic kit
ACV offers an optional pre-assembled hydraulic kit comprising:
- A circulator.
- A motorised 3-way manual valve.
- Connecting pipes including an optional second circuit.
- Two isolation valves.
- Connectors for mounting the safety valve with pressure gauge
and the filling valve to the right or left of the expansion tank.
2.2.2.3
Discharge
The drain cock and safety valve must be connected to the waste
water system in accordance with current regulations.
2.2.3
DOMESTIC HOT WATER CONNECTION
2.2.3.1
Pressure reducer
If the water mains pressure is greater than 6 bar, a pressure
reducer calibrated to 4.5 bar must be fitted.
2.2.3.2
Safety unit
The tank safety unit must be ACV approved and calibrated to 7
bar. The valve discharge must be connected to the waste water
system in accordance with current regulations.
2.2.3.3
Domestic hot water expansion tank
Installing a hot water expansion tank avoids any risk of pressure
surges due to waterhammer.
2.2.3.4
Hot water circulation
If the tank is located a long way from the point of use, then
installing a closed recirculation circuit ensures that a faster supply
of hot water is always available.
