5.2.2
Installing the drain valve
The drain valve must be supplied by the customer.
Install the drain valve at the height of the cold water supply
or further below this level.
5.2.3
Installing the safety group
Caution.
Excessive pressure in the domestic hot
water cylinder
Excessive pressure in the domestic hot water
cylinder may cause the cylinder to burst.
▶
Ensure that the expansion relief valves
are not blocked.
▶
Ensure that there is no isolation valve
between the safety group and the cylin-
der.

1.
Before installation, flush the pipes in order to clear any
contamination and prevent the build up of dirt.
2.
Install the safety group horizontally and install the ex-
pansion relief valve so that it is facing upwards.
3.
Note the flow direction, which is specified by an arrow.
4.
Connect the safety assembly to the drain valve. Consult
the table below to find out the length to which the pipe
should be cut.

Note
If you have to set up a secondary return,
install the T-piece supplied for the VIH GB
250/3 BES and VIH GB 300/3 BES products.
5.
Install a pipe between the safety assembly's connection
(5)
and the temperature and pressure relief valve. Use
a T-piece for this. The pipe system must continuously
slope outwards, must be visible and must be protected
against frost. There must be no risk of injury to persons.

Tundish
The drain connections of the temperature and pressure re-
lief valve and the expansion relief valve must be connected
to the supplied tundish via 15-mm-thick copper pipes. The
tundish must be installed vertically, as close to the cylinder
as possible and with a maximum clearance of 600 mm from
the connection of the temperature and pressure relief valve.
It must be installed in the same room as the cylinder, but at
