Handling
Care must be taken when transporting, storing and installing the equipment:
• At least two people should lift the cylinder to prevent injuries.
• The cylinder must be stored in a dry area and must never be set down hard during handling.
• Packaging should only be removed at the installation location.
• The cylinder must be installed on a level or with the required load bearing capability. Installation,
servicing, maintenance and repair must be carried out by a competent person.
• All electrical wiring must be carried out by a qualified electrician and be installed in accordance
with current I.E.E Wiring Regulations.
• A lack of safety devices can lead to potentially fatal injuries, all necessary safety devices must
be installed correctly in the system. The use of an electric immersion may lead to the build up
of electrical potential in the water. This can in turn cause corrosion of the immersion. To prevent
this, ensure the immersion heater, and the hot and cold pipework are correctly bonded and
connected to the earth line.
• If plastic pipes are used they must be approved temperature resistant to 95°C at a pressure of
10bar.
A thermostatic mixer should be installed in the system to prevent the risk of scalding. If there are
leaks found in the system, shut o the cold water stop valve from the main supply and contact a
competent person immediately.
What Is Benchmark?
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, commis-
sioned and serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions by competent persons and
that it meets the requirements of the appropriate Building Regulations.
The Benchmark Checklist can be used to demonstrate compliance with Building Regulations and
should be provided to the customer for future reference. Installers are required to carry out installa-
tion, commissioning and servicing work in accordance with the Benchmark Code of Practice which
is available from the Heating and Hot Water Industry Council who manage and promote the scheme.
