The heating system has its own Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) located adjacent to the
heating expansion vessel; in the event of the pressure within the heating becoming too
high, the PRV will vent.
The combination valve also includes a PRV.
A Tundish will be fitted in the system, this should be located in the same space or
compartment as the hot water cylinder. This device provides an air break when pressure
is being vented from the cylinder TPRV.
The heating system PRV may also be connected to the cylinder Tundish, alternatively it
may have its own.
When pressure is being vented, water/steam will be evident at the Tundish and from the
discharge pipe of the Tundish.
In the event of water/steam being seen at the discharge pipe or Tundish ascertain whether
