READ GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION 0.0, WARNINGS 0.1 and CAUTIONS 0.2, 0.3 & 0.4
1.3 PROCEDURE
1.3.1 LOCATION
The pressurisation unit should be connected to the underside of the return header on the suction side of the
circulating pump, but not within any influences from the circulating pump, and for a heating system, at the
point of lowest temperature i.e. before the boiler.
If the equipment is to be installed in an unheated room, ensure that there is adequate frost protection. On a
heating system do not lag any expansion vessel or its connection to the system. This can result in damage
occurring.
The location of the equipment should have adequate drainage, bunding or other appropriate measures to
protect assets and the building fabric in the event of leakage or water spillage. Failure to provide such
measures may result in water damage to property and assets.
Ensure that location for the equipment provides adequate clear space to accommodate unit with reasonable
access to all parts; AquaTech-Pressmain recommend a minimum distance of 500mm. There must be
sufficient room to:-
fully open control panel door & withdraw diaphragms from vessels,
Should any of these location conditions not be satisfied AquaTech-Pressmain reserve the right to charge
labour on any warranty work required on the pumpset.
1.3.2 FIXING
Lugs are provided for wall fixing on the back of the panel (see fig. 1.1)
