4.4 CONNECTING THE PIPES
4.4.1 Please note
• All existing or new systems must be flushed clean before any pipe
fittings are connected permanently.
• The system tank must be connected to a closed expansion vessel.
A manometer that indicates the system pressure must be mounted
in the connection to the expansion vessel (see ‘ APPENDIX 2 -
FLOW CHART’). (The manometer and expansion vessel are
provided by the installation engineer.)
• The system pressure must not fall below 0.9 bar.
• ECOScience recommends stainless steel or PEX pipes. If these are
not available, copper pipes should be used.
• All connection fittings to the system are ¾”.
4.4.2 Instructions
1. Connect pipes as shown in the pipe connection diagrams.
2. Fit an existing or new circulation pump to the radiator circuit supply
pipe (see ‘ APPENDIX 2 - FLOW CHART’ and see ‘ APPENDIX 3 -
WIRING DIAGRAM AND TEMPERATURE SENSORS’).
3. Connect a hose between the safety valve and floor drain (”4.4.3
Pipe connections” No. 7).
CAUTION! CUTTING PIPES!
In order to avoid any metal filings that may clog filters
and connections and lead to corrosion in the system,
pipes must only be cut with pipe cutters. Circular
cutting saws or hacksaws must not be used.
