Installation

6.4

Fitting the heating circuit supply and
return pipes

Fit a filling and drain cock in the heating system
supply pipe if required.

Also fit a safety valve in the system.

Thoroughly flush all pipes and radiators.

Refer to the installation template for the pipe connec-
tion dimensions.

Fit the compression fittings (fig. 9, pos. 1 and 2) first
to the Hydronic set (see fig. 10, 11 and 12) and then
to the appliance.

Connect the expansion tank to the system.

Connect the pipes so that they are free from strain.

NOTICE

– Piping and components connected to the

water appliance for the space heating
application are suitable for use with potable
water.

– A water appliance which will be used to

supply potable water shall not be
connected to any heating system or
component(s) previously used with a
nonpotable water heating appliance.

NOTICE

– To protect the entire heating system we

recommend installing a dirt particle filter in
the return circuit. When connecting the
appliance to an existing heating system this
filter must definitely be installed.

– Install shut-off valves immediately before

and after the dirt particle filter to enable the
filter to be cleaned.

NOTICE

When using oxygen-permeable pipes, e. g. for
floor heating systems, you must separate the
system using heat exchangers.
