flexible hose connections available as an optional 
extra from Atmos Heating Systems. The connection 
to the expansion vessel utilises a ¾ female x ½ male 
threaded adaptor and the washer provided must be 
fitted internally. The other end has a 15mm 
compression fitting. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Fit the filler loop from the cold water main to the 
second 15mm pipe connection d, ensuring that the 
loop is fitted in the right direction as indicated on 
the arrow stamped on the non-return valve. 
 
Fit the heating system safety valve into the ½" 
BSPF connection, pointing in the direction shown 
ready for connection into the discharge pipe. (fig 
18) 
   

7.7.Connecting the mains cold water.

 

 
Each Atmos Multi boiler is supplied with a mains 
pressure kit comprising the following components: 
 

UV3 manifold including pressure reducing valve 

pre-set at 3.5 bar. (Altecnic) 

 

½" Caleffi safety relief valve set at 6bar. 

 

8 litre blue potable expansion vessel (Altecnic) 

 

Expansion vessel mounting bracket. 

 

22mm x 15mm compression reducing set. 

 

Black plastic tundish. (Altecnic), and; 

 

¼

BSPM drain cock. 

 

The mains pressure kit must be assembled as shown 

in fig 18 in the following manner: 

 

Figure 18: Mains pressure kit assembly 

 

 
 

Connect the UV3 manifold to the boilers15mm 

cold water inlet supply pipe (colour coded blue), 

using the 22mm x 15mm compression reducing set 

supplied. 
 

Connect the 22mm incoming cold water main 

supply to the inlet of the UV3 combined 22mm stop 

tap and pressure reducing valve.  
 

Locate and fit the 6bar safety relief valve, by 

push fitting into its fixing socket on the UV3 

manifold. A small grub screw located in the side of 

the manifold is provided to lock the valve in 

position, by means of the Allen key provided. 
 

The 22mm branch 'E' is provided for the cold 

water system of the house, where equal hot and 

cold water pressures are required. If this facility is 

not required, the branch may be blanked off using 

the blanking plug provided. 
 

Locate and fit the supplied ¼" BSPM drain-off 

cock to the manifold's socket 'G'. The fitting of this 

drain off cock enables 90% of the water content of 

the hot water tank to be drained. 
 

Fix the Blue 8 litre potable expansion vessel 

adjacent to the 'primary' heating expansion vessel 

using the wall brackets provided. 
 

Connect the potable expansion vessel's ¾" boss 

to connection 'H' on the UV3 manifold using 15mm
