G3 REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDANCE  UK ONLY
Discharge pipe from safety valves
The Building Regulation G3 requires that any discharge from an unvented system is conveyed to
where it is visible, but will not cause danger to persons in or about the building.
The tundish and discharge pipes should be tted in accordance with the requirements and guid-
ance notes of Building Regulation G3. The G3 Requirements and Guidance sections 3.50 - 3.63 are
detailed below.
For discharge pipe arrangements not covered by G3 Guidance advice should be sought from your
local Building Control Ocer.
Main characteristics :
• Any discharge pipe connected to the pressure relief devices (Expansion Valve and Tempera-
ture/Pressure Relief Valve) must be installed in a continuously downward direction and in a
frost free environment.
• Water may drip from the discharge pipe of the pressure relief device.
• This pipe must be left open to the atmosphere.
• The pressure relief device is to be operated regularly to remove lime deposits and to verify that
it is not blocked.
A typical discharge pipe arrangement is shown further on.
General remarks
• Discharge pipe-work D2 can now be a plastic pipe but only pipes that have been
tested to a minimum 110°C must be used.
• Discharge pipe D2 can now be plumbed into the soil stack but only soil stacks that
can handle temperatures of 99°C or greater should be used.
Extract from “The Building Regulation G3” :
Discharge pipe D1
3.50 Safety devices such as temperature relief valves or combined temperature and pressure and
pressure relief valves (see paragraphs 3.13 or 3.18) should discharge either directly or by way of a
manifold via a short length of metal pipe (D1) to a tundish.
3.51 The diameter of discharge pipe (D1) should be not less than the nominal outlet size of the tem-
perature relief valve.
3.52 Where a manifold is used it should be sized to accept and discharge the total discharge from the
discharge pipes connected to it.
3.53 Where valves other than the temperature and pressure relief valve from a single unvented hot
water system discharge by way of the same manifold that is used by the safety devices, the ma-
nifold should be factory fitted as part of the hot water storage system unit or package.
Tundish
3.54 The tundish should be vertical, located in the same space as the unvented hot water storage sys-
tem and be fitted as close as possible to, and lower than, the valve, with no more than 600mm of
pipe between the valve outlet and the tundish.
Note: To comply with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations, the tundish should incorporate a
suitable air gap.
3.55 Any discharge should be visible at the tundish. In addition, where discharges from safety de-
vices may not be apparent, e.g. in dwellings occupied by people with impaired vision or mobi-
lity, consideration should be given to the installation of a suitable safety device to warn when
discharge takes place, e.g. electronically operated.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Discharge pipe D2
3.56 The discharge pipe (D2) from the tundish should:
(a) have a vertical section of pipe at least 300mm long below the tundish before any elbows or
bends in the pipework; and
(b) be installed with a continuous fall thereafter of at least 1 in 200.
3.57 The discharge pipe (D2) should be made of:
(a) metal; or
(b) other material that has been demonstrated to be capable of safely withstanding tempera-
tures of the water discharged and is clearly and permanently marked to identify the product and
performance standard (e.g. as specified in the relevant part of BS 7291)
3.58 The discharge pipe (D2) should be at least one pipe size larger than the nominal outlet size of
the safety device unless its total equivalent hydraulic resistance exceeds that of a straight pipe
9m long, i.e. for discharge pipes between 9m and 18m the equivalent resistance length should
be at least two sizes larger than the nominal outlet size of the safety device; between 18 and
27m at least 3 sizes larger, and so on; bends must be taken into account in calculating the flow
resistance. See figure, table and the worked example.
3.59 Where a single common discharge pipe serves more than one system, it should be at least one
pipe size larger than the largest individual discharge pipe (D2) to be connected.
3.60 The discharge pipe should not be connected to a soil discharge stack unless it can be demonstra-
ted that that the soil discharge stack is capable of safely withstanding temperatures of the water
discharged, in which case, it should:
(a) contain a mechanical seal, not incorporating a water trap, which allows water into the
branch pipe without allowing foul air from the drain to be ventilated through the tundish;
(b) be a separate branch pipe with no sanitary appliances connected to it;
(c) if plastic pipes are used as branch pipes carrying discharge from a safety device they should
be either polybutalene (PB) to Class S of BS 7291-2:2006 or cross linked polyethylene (PE-X) to
Class S of BS 7291-3:2006; and (d) be continuously marked with a warning that no sanitary ap-
pliances should be connected to the pipe.
Note:
1. Plastic pipes should be joined and assembled with fittings appropriate to the circumstances in
which they are used as set out in BS EN ISO 1043-1.
2. Where pipes cannot be connected to the stack it may be possible to route a dedicated pipe along-
side or in close proximity to the discharge stack.
Termination of discharge pipe
3.61 The discharge pipe (D2) from the tundish should terminate in a safe place where there is no risk
to persons in the vicinity of the discharge.
3.62 Examples of acceptable discharge arrangements are:
(b) to a trapped gully with the end of the pipe below a fixed grating and above the water seal;
(c) downward discharges at low level; i.e. up to 100mm above external surfaces such as car
parks, hard standings, grassed areas etc. are acceptable providing that a wire cage or similar
guard is positioned to prevent contact, whilst maintaining visibility; and
(d) discharges at high level: e.g. into a metal hopper and metal downpipe with the end of the di-
scharge pipe clearly visible or onto a roof capable of withstanding high temperature discharges
of water and 3m from any plastic guttering system that would collect such discharges.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Worked example of discharge pipe sizing
Figure on the left shows a G1/2 temperature relief valve with a discharge pipe (D2) having 4 No. elbows
and length of 7m from the tundish to the point of discharge.
From Table:
Maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 22mm copper discharge pipe (D2) from a G1/2
temperature relief valve is 9.0m.
• Subtract the resistance for 4 No. 22mm elbows at 0.8m each = 3.2m
• Therefore the permitted length equates to: 5.8m
• 5.8m is less than the actual length of 7m therefore calculates the next largest size.
Maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 28mm pipe (D2) from a G1/2 temperature relief
valves equates to 18m.
• Subtract the resistance of 4 No. 28mm elbows at 1.0m each = 4.0m
• Therefore the maximum permitted length equates to: 14m
• As the actual length is 7m, a 28mm (D2) copper pipe will be satisfactory.
Essential recommendations for safety
• The temperature/pressure relief valve should only be replaced by a competent
person.
• No control or safety valves should be tampered with or used for any other purpose.
• The discharge pipe should not be blocked or used for any other purpose.
• The tundish should not be located adjacent to any electrical components

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
General remarks
• Connections (electrical, hydraulic) must be carried out in accordance with
applicable standards and regulations.
• If the water drawing off point is far from the tank, installing an auxiliary DHW loop
can allow to get hot water more quickly at all times.
Essential instructions forthecorrect operation ofthesystem
• The tank must be installed in a dry and protected area.
• Install the appliance to ensure easy access at all times.
• To avoid any risk of corrosion, connect the stainless steel tank directly to the earth.
Use an adjustable earth clamp (see example below) on one of the DHW connections
to connect to the earth. Advised copper wire section: 2.5mm².
• Make sure to install a pressure reducing valve set at 4.5 bar in the DHW circuit if the
supply pressure is higher than 6 bar.
• On the DHW circuit, install an approved safety group, comprised of a safety valve
set at 7 bar, a check valve and a stop valve.
• Make sure that the outlet of the safety unit goes directly to the sewer to avoid any
potential damage.
• Do not install the safety group above the tank to avoid water discharge on to the
tank.

INSTALLATION
• The installation of a domestic expansion vessel avoids discharge from the safety
valve (loss of water).
• Capacity of domestic water vessels:
• 18 Litres for SL 320
• 24 Litres for SL 420 / 420D
• 35 Litres for SL 600
Refer to the manufacturer’s technical instructions on the expansion vessel for more
details.

Essential instructions forthe safety of persons and the environment
• Hot water can burn!
In the event of small amounts of hot water repeatedly being drawn off, a
stratification effect can develop in the tank. The upper hot water layer may then
reach very high temperatures.
• ACV recommends using apre-set thermostatic mixing valve in order to provide
hot water at a maximum of 60°C.
• Water heated to wash clothes, dishes and for other uses can cause serious burns.
• In order to avoid exposure to extremely hot water that can cause serious burns,
never leave children, old people, disabled or handicapped people in the bath
orshower alone.
• Never allow young children to turn on the hot water or fill their own bath.
• Adjust the water temperature in accordance with usage and plumbing regulations.
•
The risk of developing bacteria exists, including “Legionella pneumophila”,
ifaminimum temperature of 60°C is not maintained in both the DHW tank andthe
hot water distribution network.
Essential instructions for the electrical safety
• Only an approved installer is authorized to carry out the electrical connections.
• Make sure that the appliance is connected to the earth.
• Install a 2-way switch and a fuse or circuit breaker of the recommended rating
outside the appliance, so as to be able to shut power down when servicing the
appliance or before performing any operation on it.
• Shut down external electrical supply of the appliance before performing any
operation on the electrical circuit.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless supervised or unless they have been given instruction concerning the use
of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
