6. DELIVERY INFORMATION
6.1 Transport
HIU dimensions and weights should be
considered to allow installation and access in a
safe manner.
6.2 Packing
HIUs are delivered in cardboard boxes (typical
cardboard box dimensions are 1030 x 630 x
350mm and weigh 35kg), packed individually
and stacked with a maximum of 10 on one pallet
(Fig. 3).
Delivery packaging materials are generally made
up of cardboard, wood and plastics.
If no agreement has been made regarding the
return of packaging material, the packaging
material remains with the customer.
WARNING
The pallet must be transported using approved
lifting equipment.
The HIU is supplied with all of the components
shown on the project schematic.
6.3 Storage
The units should be stored horizontally with the
arrows on the packaging pointing upwards, in a
dry, frost-free location.
The unit must not be exposed to the elements:
water drops; humidity; direct sunlight; heat
sources or high intensity electromagnetic fields.
We recommend covering the HIU to protect it
from dust, dirt and paint.
Page 12
The HIU is designed to be transported
horizontally with the arrows on the packaging
pointing upwards. Care must be taken that the
HIU components and parts in the unit are not
damaged and that cables and wires are not
pulled, trapped or damaged during transport.
During delivery of goods, undertake checks
to determine transit damage and complete
delivery. If there is damage and missing goods,
identify to the delivery company and either
accept conditionally or do not accept delivery.
Identify the damage on the delivery documents
and take pictures. Report issue immediately to
the supplier.
Unforeseen damages found on unpacking the
goods after delivery should be highlighted as
soon as possible. Terms and conditions agreed
to at time of purchase must be followed with
regards to delivery, complaint periods and
reporting methods.
CAUTION
Packaging materials must be disposed
of correctly and recycled. Considering the
environment and relevant waste disposal
regulations

7. INSTALLATION
7.1 Location
The HIU must only be installed in a suitable
location that provides protection against moisture
and freezing temperatures. The location must
have sufficient ventilation to prevent heat build up
within the HIU.
The location of the HIU should:
Aim to minimise the length of primary pipework
within the occupied space
Aim to minimise the length of pipework from
the pressure relief valve fitted to the secondary
heating circuit of the HIU to a suitable drain
point (refer to Approved Document G, typical
discharge safety valve arrangement)
Determine pipework configuration from above
or below
Provide sufficient ventilation to the occupied
space to prevent excessive heat build-up
Allow sufficient space around the HIU to
permit dismantling of the insulated cabinet for
maintenance purposes (Table 5)
7.2 HIU Fixing
Always use the appropriate tools to install the

WARNING
Incorrect installation and failure to adhere to these
instructions can result in damage to the HIU /
building and serious injury. The installation of the
HIU must be undertaken by qualified/competent
persons in-line with legislation.
HIU fixings are not supplied with the HIU
The fixings should be selected based on the
substrate being fixed in to and selection of the
correct fixing method is the responsibility of the
contractor installing the HIU
If working with walls built using perforated
bricks
or blocks or mobile dividing panels
on any masonry
walls, a preliminary
static test must be carried out
to
determine whether the wall can support the
WARNING
Mechanical impact can cause serious injury
(crushing).
WARNING
The HIU has sharp edges which may cause injury
if protective gloves are not worn. Always use
protective gloves when working on the HIU.
There are three options available for the HIU, which
consider ease of installation, protection of the HIU
and pipework routing up and down (all primary and
secondary connections are on the top of the HIU,
with safety relief connection at the bottom):

HIU only option, fixing the HIU directly to the wall.
There are three fixing points on the HIU and all
should be used to secure the HIU. See
