4.3 

Fit the DHW Unit 

 

(1) 

Drill four fixing holes (5mm dia) through the back panel of the unit to accept 
the No. 8 screws supplied. 

 

(2) 

Hold the unit on the wall in the required position ensuring it is level and mark the 
position of the fixing holes.  Then drill the fixing holes (6mm dia) in the wall to 
accept the No.8 wall plugs. 

 

(3) 

Using the screws supplied secure the unit to the wall. 

 
4.4 

Fit the Thermostat and Sensor  (Refer Diagram 4.2.3) 

 

(1) 

Unscrew the plastic cap on the hot water control valve body and remove. 

 

(2) 

Locate and secure the thermostat onto the valve body by tightening the loose  

 

nut by hand onto the thread of the body. 

 
(3) 

With care unwind the capillary tube and position the sensor onto the location 
provided on the outlet pipe from the heat exchanger. 

 

(4) 

Secure the sensor in position using the tape supplied.  Then locate the 
insulation supplied around the sensor and secure with the two straps provided. 

 
4.5 

Connect the Pipework  (Refer Diagram 4.2.3) 

 

(1) 

Thoroughly flush out ALL the pipework. 

 

(2) 

Connect the 15mm isolating valve to the cold inlet pipe of the unit and then 
connect the domestic hot water pipework. 

 

(3) 

Using a ‘T’ connection, connect the central heating pipework to the DH flow and 
return of the DHW unit and fit the CH valve and isolating valves in the positions 
shown in the diagram 2.6. 

 

Note:  Ensure the CH valve is located within 600mm of the DHW unit. This will 

allow it’s cable to be directly connected into the unit’s control box. 

 

(4) 

Connect the 22mm strainer supplied to the DH flow pipe and then connect the 
two isolation valves to the DH flow and return pipes. 

 

Note:  Ensure the strainer is always fitted after the valves. This will allow 

isolation for cleaning of the filter (Refer diagram 2.6) 

 
4.6 

Connect the CH Valve Electrical Cable  (Refer Sect 2.4) 

 

(1) 

Gain access to the DHW terminal block by releasing the 4 screws securing 
the control box cover. 

 

(2) 

Pass the CH valve’s electrical cable through a cable clamp and connect the 
wires as follows (refer to diagram 2.4); 
Brown to terminal 7, Black to terminal 9, Blue to terminal 3, Grey to terminal 13, 
Orange to terminal 12, White is not used, therefore terminate safely. 
 

(3) 

Tighten the cable clamp by hand until the cable is secured.
