Installation method 2
To be used in the case of the boiler being positioned and installed at a lower level than the installed
pipe-work and radiators.
As shown on Figure, following elements are connected along the FLOW:
1. Automatic air vent
2. Safety valve
3. Circulation pump (separated with ball valves on each side so that it can be easily replaced if
necessary).
For safe operation info on additional equipment such as expansion vessel and safety valve please refer
to manuals to be delivered with such products.
This air vent valve must be open when first filling the boiler on installation completion.

The connecting scheme of an open central heating system is depicted on the figure.
Open expansion vessel is connected to the hot-water distribution pipes (FLOW and RETURN) as
shown on Figure – with an additional OVERFLOW pipe output plus CIRCULATION pipe (to prevent
freeze during winter months).
Please note that no additional items shall be connected to the open expansion vessel – especially not
valves.
The size of expansion vessel is deducted from the following equation:
