INSTALLATION
HOT WATER CONNECTIONS
Pressure reducing valve
If the mains water pressure is greater than 6 bar, a pressure reducing valve must be fitted.
Expansion relief valve
The tank expansion relief valve must be ACV approved and calibrated to a maximum of 7 bar. The valve discharge must be connected to the drain.
Hot water expansion vessel
A hot water expansion vessel must be installed.
Hot water circulation
If the tank is situated a long way from the point of use, then installing a recirculation loop can provide a faster supply of hot water to the outlets.
Temperature and pressure relief valve
If using the HeatMaster as an unvented hot water unit, in some countries, a temperature and pressure relief valve must be fitted - consult your ACV stockist for assistance.

DANGER!
As a safety measure against scalding, we strongly recommend installing a thermostatic mixing valve.
