Plan Of Appliance Connections

The PulsaCoil A-Class units are supplied on 
an installation base to allow the pipe runs to 
connect to the appliance from any direction.  
It is easier if all pipes protrude vertically in the 
cut out area shown. Compression or push fi t 
connections can be used. All pipe positions 
are approximate and subject to a tolerance of 
+/- 10mm in any direction. Space will also be 
required for a 15mm cold water supply and a 
22mm warning / overfl ow pipe (if the optional 
extra ball valve and overfl ow connector have 
been specified. If a warning/overflow pipe 
is NOT provided the F&E Cistern should be 
filled from a temporary hose connection 
incorporating a double check valve. This can 
be from a temporary hose connection supplied 
from a cold water tap or a permanent cold 
branch provided adjacent to the Top up Cistern. 
The temporary connection must be removed 
once the appliance is fi lled.

Note: All dimensions are shown in mm and 
are to the centre line of the pipework.
