Sealants, Adhesives and Paints are used in the construction of
the Electrastream components. When used in the manner for
which they are intended they do not present any known hazard.

ELECTRIC

ELECTRIC
The Cylinder Tri-Core Heater, Pump, Thermostats and Contactor
Box all have electrical supply of 230V (enough to endanger
life).
Always isolate before connection, adjustment, servicing and
repair.
When the Tri-Core Heater cover is removed high power live
electrical terminals are exposed.
ISOLATE THE TRI-CORE HEATER BEFORE REMOVING ITS
COVER.
Earth protection - Earth Continuity Conductors must be fitted
and must comply with IEE Wiring Regulations.

IMPORTANT Under no circumstances should the system be operated
without the heating PRV fitted and working correctly.

4-4.5 Heating PRV Discharge Pipe

The outlet from the heating PRV must be piped using 15mm copper pipe to the tundish
then to a visible position outside the dwelling. The pipe must have a continuous fall and
ideally be terminated over a drain.
The heating PRV may be plumbed to the hot water system TPRV discharge prior to the
Tundish, see fig. 4-4a.
The PRV discharge must comply with Building Regulations G3 refer to pages 40-42.

IMPORTANT Scalding water and steam can be emitted from the
discharge pipe. Position the discharge so there is no hazard to property
or people (especially children).

4-4.6 Heating System Expansion Vessel (red)

Maximum charge pressure

1.5 Bar Maximum working temperature

90°C

Pre-charge pressure

1 Bar Maximum working pressure

3 Bar

Capacity

8 litres for maximum system expansion of 7 litres.

An expansion vessel and mounting kit is supplied, this is suitable for systems with a
static head of up to 5 metres.  If the static head is greater than 5 metres the charge
pressure of the expansion vessel will need to be increased.  Increase the pressure using a
standard car tyre pump and pressure gauge when the system is empty (zero pressure).
Expansion vessels are suitable for systems requiring a maximum expansion of 7 litres as
detailed above. For systems requiring more expansion a second expansion vessel will be
required.  BS7074 Part 1 includes information on this requirement.
Clearance is required on top of the vessel to access the pressure valve.

4-4.7 Filling Loop

A Filling Loop comprising a flexible hose, double check valve and an isolating valve is
supplied for filling and topping up the system.
