6 INSTALLATION
Step 1:
Remove the Mainsboost vessel from its packaging and check to ensure it is not
damaged.
z
WARNING: depending on vessel size this may require two people to
complete safely.
z
Ensure the floor is sufficiently strong enough to take the total
weight of the unit when full of water (see Technical
Specification section). Take care when manoeuvring the unit
so as not to damage it.

Vertically mounted Mainsboost vessels
a) Carefully turn the vessel on its side using the discarded packaging to
protect it.
b) Once on its side screw the Mainsboost vessel connector provided
in the upsteam line-in kit into the tank elbow at the base using suitable
thread seal such as PTFE tape or liquid thread lock (see Fig. 9).
c) Cut a piece of 28 mm dia. copper pipe to the following minimum length,
ensuring clearance of the base.
Pipe length:
MB 100SV = 210 mm MB 200SV = 270 mm
MB 300SV = 270 mm
MB 130SV = 210 mm MB 250SV = 270 mm
MB 450SV = 340 mm
Then re-erect the vessel.
d) Fit the isolating valve provided to the tail now protruding from the base of
the vessel.
NOTE: It is good practice to install a drain port between the isolation valve
and the vessel.
e) The vessel assembly should then be positioned and checked to ensure
there is sufficient space to install the upstream line-in kit between the
stopcock and pressure vessel inlet. Refer to the chart (Fig. 17) as a guide.
