Water connections

Warning

 

unvented

The installation shall be carried out by a recognised installation engineer in

accordance with the generally and locally applicable regulations (1.3 “Regulations”).

3.6.1Cold water side

See (A) in the connections diagram (3.5 “Connections diagram”).

1.Position an approved stop valve (4) on the cold water side in accordance with the applicable regulations (1.3 “Regulations”).

2.The maximum operating pressure of the device is 8 bars. As the water piping pressure can incidentally exceed 8 bars, mount an approved pressure reducing valve (1).

3.Mount a non-return valve (5) and an expansion vessel (16).

4.Mount an expansion valve (15) and connect the overflow side to an open water drainage pipe.

3.6.2Hot water side

See (B) in the connections diagram (3.5 “Connections diagram”).

Note

Insulation of the long hot water pipes prevents unnecessary loss of energy.

1.Option: mount a temperature meter (12) for checking the temperature of the tap water.

2.Mount the T&P valve (3).

3.Mount a stop valve (11) in the hot water distribution piping for service purposes.

3.6.3Circulation piping

See (C) in the connections diagram (3.5 “Connections diagram”). If you want to have hot water available immediately, you can install a circulation pump at the draw-off points. This is more comfortable and avoids spillage of water.

1.Mount a circulation pump (6) wit a capacity that corresponds with the size and the resistance of the circulation system.

2.Mount a non-return valve (5) following the circulation pump to guarantee the circulation direction.

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

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

3.6.4Condensation drainage

1.Attach underneath the fall a drainage pipe to the siphon (13) for condensation drainage and connect this to the water discharge pipe.

Attention

All connections downstream the siphon shall be condensation-resistant.

3.7.1Cold water side

See (A) in the connections diagram (3.5 “Connections diagram”).

1.Mount on the cold water side an approved stop valve (4) between the water tank (18) and the device in accordance with the applicable regulations (1.3 “Regulations”).

3.7.2Hot water side

See (B) in the connections diagram (3.5 “Connections diagram”).
