GENERAL INSTALLATION
COLD MAINS PIPEWORK
Run the cold main through the building to the place where
the ULTRASTEEL PLUS is to be installed. Take care not to
run the cold pipe near hot water or heating pipework so that
the heat pick-up is minimized. Identify the cold water supply
pipe and fit an isolating valve (not supplied).
A 22mm BS1010 stopcock can typically be used but a 22mm
quarter turn full bore valve would be better as it does not
restrict the flow as much. Do not use “screwdriver slot” or
similar valves. Make the connection to the cold feed of the
cylinder and incorporate a drain valve. Position the drain
valve no higher than the cold inlet to ensure sufficient
draining of cylinder when required. Position the inlet control
just ABOVE the Temperature & Pressure Relief Valve (TPRV)
mounted on the side of the cylinder. This ensures that
the cylinder does not have to be drained down in order to
service the inlet control set. Ensure that the arrow points in
the direction of the water flow.

CONNECTING TO THE CYLINDER
All of the pipework connections on the cylinder are
designed to accept 22mm copper pipe. The thread is 3/4”
BSP male parallel thread. Suitable nuts and olives are
provided.
Cut the tube with a pipe cutter and ensure no sharp edges
or burrs protrude. Slide both gland nut and olive onto
the tube and push tube fully home into the connection,
ensuring the tube end fully bottoms on the connection
recess. Smear the outer wall of the olive with plumbing
paste and tighten gland nut in the prescribed manner.
Upon filling/commissioning, ensure all connections are
completely watertight. Note: No control or isolation valve
should be fitted between the expansion relief valve and the
storage cylinder. The relief valve connections should not
be used for any other purpose.
