6.8Domestic Hot Water Circuit (Fig. 7)

1.All DHW circuits, connections, fittings, etc. should be fully in accordance with relevant standards and water supply regulations.

2.Your attention is drawn to:

for GB: Guidance G17 to G24 and recommendation R17 to R24 of the Water Regulations Guide.

for IE: the current edition of I.S. 813 “Domestic Gas Installations”.

3. The Water Regulations recommendations for England and

Wales prohibits backflow from appliances into the

wholesome water supply due to thermal expansion.

However this type of instantaneous combination boiler, with

less than 15 litres of stored capacity, does not require any

*See 6.8 for instances when these items may be required

backflow prevention device as any thermal expansion is

accommodated within the appliance.

It is possible in certain circumstances that other cold water

demands (e.g. washing machines, flushing of W.C.s) may

affect the DHW function of the boiler. In these instances the

fitting of a backflow prevention device and expansion vessel

is recommended.

4. Also if there is an existing check valve, loose jumpered

stop cock, water meter or water treatment device already

fitted to the wholesome water supply connected to the

boiler domestic hot water (DHW) inlet supply then a

suitable expansion device may be required.

5. If the hot water expansion is not provided for, then high

pressures can develop which may result in damage to fittings

and devices on the system.

6. The boiler’s maximum working mains pressure is 8 bar,

therefore all pipework, connections, fittings, etc. should be

suitable for pressures in excess of 8 bar. A pressure reducing

valve must be fitted for pressures in excess of 8 bar. The

manufacturer of any outlet fittings, such as a shower valve,

may require a lower maximum pressure. The pressure

reduction must take account of all fittings connected to the

DHW system.

6.9

Showers

1.If a shower control is supplied from the appliance it should be of the thermostatic or pressure balanced type. Thermostatic type shower valves provide the best comfort and guard against water at too high a temperature. Existing controls may not be suitable - refer to the shower valve manufacturer.

6.10Hard Water Areas

1.If the area of the installation is recognised as a HARD WATER AREA then a suitable device should be fitted to treat the mains water supply to the boiler. Contact your Water Distribution Company for advice on suitable devices.
