Section 6: Installation considerations 

When  deciding  the  location  to  install  the  heat  pump  the 
items contained within this chapter should be considered. 

 

Physical location  

The  heat  pump  is  for  outdoor  installation  only.  It  should 
also be installed in a place where: 

 

The condensate can easily be drained away. 

 

Hydraulic connections can easily be made to the 
heating system and the DHW cylinder. 

 

There  is  no  risk  of  a  flammable  gas  leak  or  any 
outlets vents from any other system. 

 

The  wiring  lengths  come  within  reasonable 
ranges  particularly  taking  note  of  the  15m 
controller cable. 

Fixing of the heat pump 

The heat pump should be fixed on two flat, horizontal and 
solid  hard  surfaces  such  as  concrete  pads  that  are 

capable  of  taking  the  unit‟s  weight  and  draining  the 

condensate. 

To prevent tipping, the heat pump must be suitably fixed.  
The  fixing  should  be  strong  enough  to  prevent  the  unit 
from tipping over if the base becomes unlevel over time. 

 

 

Suggested dimensions of concrete pads as shown in

When  installing  the  product  in  a  place  where  it  will  be 
affected  by  strong  wind  such  as  wind  blowing  between 
buildings  or  on  a  rooftop  an  overturn  prevention  wire 

supplied by the installer may be necessary

Wall mounting 

If  the  heat  pump  is  to  be  wall  mounted  a  condensate 
collection  tray  (supplied  by  the  installer)  should  be  fixed 
under the heat pump. The pipe from the tray to a suitable 

drain should be heated so that it can‟t freeze and become 

blocked.

 

 

The  installation  of  an  air  source  heat  pump 
should be carried out by a Dimplex Accredited 
installer.
