7.5.2 Wiring Diagram (Underfloor Heating)

8. COMMISSIONING

 

Open the kitchen sink DHW tap to allow the    

    water to flush through the system

 

Open the DHW isolation valve at the top of the  

    HIU

 

Open the MCW isolation valve at the top of the  

    HIU

8.1 Before Filling the HIU

 

CAUTION

Flushing and back flushing through the HIU is 
strictly prohibited, performing this action will 
damage the HIU / Components. Failure to follow 
this instruction will invalidate the HIU warranty.

Fig. 14

 

Refer to Section 3 with regards to tightening of  

    connections

 

Obtain pressure test certificates for the MCW,   

    DHW and HTG systems

 

Confirm that the Primary side connections  

 

    have been completed and are live

 

Obtain test certificates to show that all  

     

    pipework has been flushed / cleaned prior to    
    connecting the HIU

WARNING

Chemical inhibitors can cause serious injuries. 
Always consult manufacturer’s instructions.

 Run the water through the kitchen sink tap until  

    a cold, clean, steady flow of water is achieved

 Open each DHW outlet within the property until  

    all air and any remaining debris has been flushed  
    through

 Check HIU for leaking joints on the secondary   

    MCW and DHW connections, tighten connections  
    as required. Do not overtighten the fibre washers  
    as this will result in damage. Should a fibre  

     

    washer become damaged, replace the washer       
    immediately ensuring to isolate the HIU  

 

    mechanically and electrically first

 Once all taps have had water drawn off and no  

    leaks are evident, move to the next step identified  
    in 8.2.2

 

Ensure that both drain valves identified in Fig.   

    14 are closed and end caps are fitted and tight

 

Confirm that there is an electrical supply to the  

    HIU which has been isolated

8.2 Filling the HIU

 

with Water

  8.2.1 Filling the Secondary MCW and DHW   
           System

  8.2.2 Filling the Secondary Heating System

 Open the secondary HTG isolation valves at the  

    top of the HIU (always open the return valve first  
    to prevent debris entering the HIU)

 Before filling the secondary HTG system introduce  

    a suitable inhibitor for the type of system   

 

    installed, in accordance with the manufacturer’s  
    instruction and BS 7593

 

Ensure that both valves identified in Fig 15 are   

  fully closed
