2.3 Hot water requirements
The stored hot water temperature must not
exceed 60-65ºC (see page 16, Stored hot
water temperature).
The hot water supply to the pump must be
via a Salamander approved method:
The best hot connection from the cylinder
is either
• A 3⁄4” NO STOP ESSEX FLANGE. See
Figure 3 or
• Alternatively a Salamander S flange or
other approved top entry flanges. See
page 16.
• Never fit to top entry flange if the pump
is fitted above the cylinder.

3. Anti-vibration couplers
(Hoses)
The anti-vibration (AV) couplers are designed
to limit the transfer of pump vibration to
the associated pipe work. All Salamander
AV couplers are ¾“ BSP x 22mm push fit
with built-in isolating valves. Note: the
RSP 50 and RGP 50 are supplied with
15mm couplers with isolating valves on
the inlets and outlets.

5 Electrical requirements
The pump must be connected to the
electrical supply using the mains cable
with the attached plug. This plug must be
connected to an accessible socket that has
been installed in compliance with BS7671
(I.E.E. Wiring regulations). The plug must be
accessible at all times.
The pump must not be installed in a
bathroom unless it is installed in an enclosed
space accessible only with the use of a tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified person in order to
avoid a hazard.
Higher rated fuses must NOT be used.
Fuses should be as per the table below:
We recommend that the pump is run for at
least 5 minutes every 4 weeks in order to
exercise all working parts.
35°
Do not bend hoses
more than 35°
Do not twist or
kink the hose
Figure 5: Couplers
Each single pump is supplied with two
couplers; one angled and one straight.
The angled coupler should be attached to
the pump inlet (on the side) and the straight
coupler should be attached to the pump
outlet (on the top).
Each twin pump is supplied with four
couplers; two angled and two straight.
For all pumps, the inlets are on the side of
the pump and the outlets are on the top of
the pump.
The AV couplers MUST only be tightened
to finger tight plus one quarter turn.
Mechanical tools must NOT be used to
tighten coupler nuts as this may cause
damage which will invalidate your warranty.
4 General plumbing
The installation must comply with the
relevant requirements or local by-laws.
The pump MUST be mounted upright (shaft
horizontal, not screwed down).
Jointing compounds, Boss White, hemp and
steel wool MUST NOT be used. Solder fluxes
must not come into contact with the pump
or the AV couplers.
The maximum static head should be 10m
(equivalent to 1.0 bar pressure) with the
exception of the ESP 50 CPV pump where
the maximum static head should be 5m
(equivalent to 0.5 bar pressure).

Ideally the AV couplers should be straight,
but they must NOT be twisted or bent more
than 35º (this invalidates the warranty). See
Figure 5.
