2.1.2Water circulation system
A.O. SMITH water heaters are suitable for connection to vented, unvented and pumped pressurised systems. In each
case appropriate valves and fittings should be used to ensure the system complies with the requirements of the water by laws, and appropriate building regulations.
When fitting it is essential the rules of ‘good practice’ are applied at all stages of installation.
Vented systems (See figur 4)
If the water heater is to be connected to a cold feed tank or cistern the hot water supply pipe must include an open vent which discharges over the cold feed cistern. The cold feed cistern must have an actual capacity of greater volume than the hourly recovery rate of the water heater(s) which it supplies. The minimum actual capacity is 50 gallons or 227 litres.
