Connecting the tank on the water side
Example of system with all recommended valves (
Fig. 12, page 12).
▶ When selecting the expansion vessel for the hot water side, take the
content of the heat exchanger and DHW tank into consideration.
▶ Route the connection cables for the tank temperature sensors at the
back of the tank through the insulation to the heating appliance or
controller.
▶ Install piping runs so that natural circulation is prevented. If
necessary, install check valves.
▶ Install connection cables free of stress.
▶ Attach piping to the tank connections on-site.
▶ Check all connections for leaks.

5.2.2
Installing a T&P safety valve (on-site)
▶ Install a listed T&P safety valve that is approved for drinking water
(
¾ ")in the DHW outlet.
▶ This DHW tank must be installed with a new T&P safety valve.
▶ The T&P valve must be sized no smaller than the rated tank capacity.
▶ Observe the safety valve installation instructions.
▶ T&P discharge pipe:
– The blow-off line must be at least equal to the outlet cross-section
of the safety valve.
– Route the blow-off line from the T&P valve directly to an adequate
drain (maximum length 6 ft (2 m) with no more than two 90°-
elbows).
– The discharge line must terminate at an adequate drain in order to
prevent property damage from spillage.
– Check that the T&P safety valve operates properly at least once
annually.
▶ Never plug the blow-off line. During heating, water may be
discharged for operational reasons at any time.
