Diagram 4.2
4.7 Bypass
It is essential that a bypass is fitted in all installations,
22mm o.d. minimum. The bypass must have a lockable
valve “B” in diagram 4.2, incorporated in a position so
that inadvertent closure or unauthorised interference is
not possible.
The bypass MUST be fitted before any system control.
A radiator bypass is NOT recommended.
4.8 Make-up
Provision should be made for replacing water lost from
the system using a make up bottle mounted in a position
higher than the top point of the system, connected
through a non-return valve to the return side of the
heating circuit, see diagram 4.2.
Alternatively, provision for make-up can be made by
pre-pressurisation of the circuit
