4.1 Benchmark Scheme Checklist
Benchmark places responsibilities on both manufacturers and installers. The purpose is to ensure that customers are provided with
the correct equipment for their needs, that it is installed, commissioned and serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions by competent persons. The Benchmark Code of Practice is available from the Heating and Hot Water Industry Council,
who manage and promote the scheme. Visit www.centralheating.co.uk for more information.
Please ensure that the installer has fully completed the Benchmark Checklist on the inside back pages of the installation
instructions supplied with the product and that you have signed it to say that you have received a full and clear explanation of its
operation. The installer is legally required to complete a commissioning checklist as a means of complying with the appropriate
Building Regulations (England and Wales).
All installations must be notified to Local Area Building Control either directly or through a Competent Persons Scheme. A Building
Regulations Compliance Certificate will then be issued to the customer who should, on receipt, write the Notification Number on
the Benchmark Checklist.
4.2 Siting the Unit
Note: Element UHP Cylinders are designed for indoor use only.
The unit can be placed anywhere convenient. Since it is connected directly to the mains water supply it is equally efficient on any
floor – ground, first or second. Avoid areas that may be subject to frost. Try to keep pipe runs as short as possible for maximum
economy, especially hot water discharge pipes running down from the unit.
The unit can be fitted into a conventional airing cupboard and does not require any additional insulation.
The water supply to the cylinder should be potable water direct from a public mains supply with any water treatment equipment
functioning correctly.
4.3 Vertical Cylinders
If installing a vertical cylinder, ensure it is fixed securely in an upright position for correct operation.
4.4 Horizontal Cylinders
If installing a horizontal cylinder, ensure it is fixed securely with the temperature and pressure relief valve positioned at the top for
correct operation.
4.5 Storage and Handling
If the cylinder is not being installed immediately, it should remain in its protective wrapping with all pipe end protective caps in
place to prevent damage.
