3.9.2 Vented systems, Standard Range
The water heater must be supplied from a cold water feed
cistern and the hot water supply pipe must be fitted with an open
vent pipe in accordance with BS 5546 and BS 6644.
The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 must be
observed when installing the system.
The cold water feed cistern must have an actual capacity
greater than the hourly recovery rate of the heater or heaters to
which it is fitted, the minimum actual capacity allowed for a feed
cistern being 227 litres.
The actual cistern capacity is the capacity to the normal water
line of the cistern.
All cisterns should be manufactured to the relevant British
Standard.
The distance from the normal water line to the top of the cistern
should comply with that specified by the Water Authorities.
The cold water inlet and hot water outlet connection nipples are
identified on top of the heater. Remove nipples and re-make
prior to installation.
Connect the cold water feed and hot water outlet to these
nipples with union adaptors for ease of servicing.
After installation of the water system, open the main water
supply valve, flush the system and fill the heater.
Open the hot taps to allow air to escape from the system.
When the water is free of air, close the taps and check for leaks
at the gas control thermostat, drain cock and the pipe
connections at the top of the heater.
All water connections for Standard Range are shown in Fig 7.
Typical water service layout for Standard Range single
heater vented system is shown in Fig. 8.
Typical water service layout for Standard Range multiple
heater vented system is shown in Fig. 9.
Caution
Do not apply heat to these nipples if making capillary
soldered joints as they are fitted with plastic inserts. Make
the capillary joints to the pipes before connecting to the
heater. A drain cock is supplied with the heater and this
should be fitted to the appropriate boss as shown on the
drawing Fig. 7.
