WATER SYSTEMS & PIPEWORK
FILLING PRIMARY SYSTEMS:
The CH sealed system must be filled using a
WRAS approved filling loop or comply with the
diagram opposite for system fill.
The filling point must be at low level and must
never be a permanent direct fixing to the mains
water supply.
SHOWERS/BIDETS:
If a shower head can be immersed in water or
comes closer than 25mm from the top edge of
a bath or shower tray spill over level then an anti-
siphon device must be fitted to the shower hose.
Bidets with direct hot & cold mains water can
be used (with the approval of the local water
authority) and must be the over rim flushing type
with shrouded outlets to prevent the fitting of
hand held sprays.
DOMESTIC HOT WATER:
Taps and mixing valves must be capable of
sustaining a pressure up to 10 bar.
Hot water temperature and flow rate are affected
by the size and insulation of pipework making
up the distribution system and are controlled by
the hot water tap and the water main inlet
pressure. A mixing valve can be fitted if a more
permanent setting is required.
If using more than one outlet at once causes
water flow starvation, fit flow balancing valves
or Ball-O-Fix valves to the appropriate outlets.
