3.7Water connections, Vented

Warning

The installation should be carried out by an authorised installation engineer, in compliance with general and local regulations (1.3 "Regulations").

3.7.1Cold water side

See (A) in the installation diagram (3.5 "Installation diagram").

1.Fit an approved stop valve (4) on the cold water side between the cold water head tank (18) and the appliance, as required by

regulations (1.3 "Regulations").

3.7.2Hot water side

See (B) in the installation diagram (3.5 "Installation diagram").

Note

Insulating long hot water pipes prevents unnecessary energy loss.

1.Fit the T&P valve (3).

2.Optional: fit a temperature gauge (12) so you can check the temperature of the tap water.

3.Fit a stop valve (4) in the hot water outlet pipe, for use when servicing.

4.If a circulation pipe is required, continue further by installing the circulation pipe (3.6.3 "Circulation pipe").

3.7.3Circulation pipe

See (C) in the installation diagram (3.5 "Installation diagram").

If an immediate flow of hot water is required at draw-off points, a circulation pump can be installed. This improves comfort and reduces water wastage.

1.Fit a circulation pump (6) of the correct capacity for the length and resistance of the circulation system.

2.Fit a non-return valve (5) behind the circulation pump to guarantee the direction of circulation.

3.Fit two stop valves for service purposes (4).

4.Connect the circulation pipe to the cold water supply pipe.

3.7.4Condensation drainage

1.Fit a sloping wastewater pipe to the siphon (13) for condensation drainage and connect this to the wastewater discharge in the boiler room.

Attention

All fittings behind the siphon must be condensation-resistant.
