WATER CONNECTIONS
UNVENTED SYSTEMS
Unvented Systems should be fitted by an Approved
Installer.
The water heater can be used on unvented hot water
storage systems with the addition of an Unvented
Systems Kit, part number B290, available from Andrews
Water Heaters.
See Parts List on page 44. The wall bracket assembly
(shown below) is available as an
optional extra (AWH
Part No – B173).
When used in an unvented system, the ECOflo will
supply hot water at a pressure of 3.5bar (51lbf/in²),
provided that this pressure is available at the mains feed.
During conditions of no-flow, system pressure may rise
to a maximum of 6 bar (87lbf/in²) whilst the burner is
operating. When testing the system, it is recommended
that a maximum test pressure of 8.6 bar (125lbf/in²) is
employed.
The expansion vessel C4 supplied is suitable for the
stored volume of the water heater.
FOR SYSTEMS WITH LARGER PIPE VOLUMES OR
ADDITIONAL STORAGE, EXPANSION VESSELS WITH
MORE CAPACITY ARE AVAILABLE – CONTACT THE
ANDREWS SALES OFFICE FOR FURTHER DETAILS.
The combined temperature and pressure relief valve C5,
must be installed into the horizontal 1” dia. male tapping.
A 1” dia. socket (not supplied) is required as the T&P
valve is also a male fitting. The discharge pipe from items
C3 and C5 must be connected into tundish C6.
When assembling items C1 and C2, ensure that the flow
arrows marked on the components are pointing in the
direction of flow, i.e. towards the water heater.
The cold water for services may be drawn from the 22mm
compression port on item C2(a). The water pressure at
this point will be similar to that available at the hot water
outlet of the water heater. If port (a) is not used, it should
be sealed with the blanking plug supplied.
