Connecting the discharge pipe to the 
expansion relief valve on the heating 
installation

The expansion relief valve for the heating installation can 
be connected to the pump group (left-hand side)

 

>

Install the drain line for the expansion relief valve so that 
it is not damaged when removing and fitting the lower 
part of the condensate siphon.

i

  We do not recommend shortening the discharge 

pipe that is supplied.

 

>

Leave an installation space of at least 180 mm beneath 
the condensate siphon.

) onto the expansion relief 

valve.

 

>

Make the drain line routing as short as possible and in a 
downward gradient away from the boiler.

Allow the line to terminate in such a way that nobody 
can be injured and no cable or other electrical compo-
nents can be damaged if water or steam is ejected.
