STORAGE PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
The unvented cylinder should be stored in its original
packaging in an upright position in an area free from
excessive damp.
HANDLING PRODUCT
The unvented cylinder should be carried upright where
possible. Assessements of risks for carrying the cylinder
should be conducted. Use more than 1 person for carrying
where appropriate. Always follow latest guide lines for lifting
techniques, to avoid injury and damage to the product.
WATER SUPPLY
The unvented cylinder operates at 3.0 bar (controlled by the
inlet control set) and is capable of delivering over 50 litres per
minute. The high quality inlet control set has been designed
performance of any unvented system is only as good as the
mains water supply. The maximum possible water demand
should be assessed, taking into consideration that both
hot and cold services are supplied simultaneously from the
mains.
The water supply should be checked to ensure it can
meet these requirements. If necessary, consult the local
availability.
If measuring the water pressure, note that a high static
availability. In a domestic installation 1 bar and 25 l/min.
should be regarded as the minimum. The maximum mains
pressure that the inlet control set can accept is 12 bar.
Consideration should be given to upgrading existing
1/2” (15mm) cold mains pipework to a larger size if the
achieved.
ELECTRIC SUPPLY
The unvented cylinder requires 240 Volt electrical supply
for the immersion elements. The electrical supply to each
immersion heater must be fused at 13A via a double pole
isolating switch to BS 60335. The cable must be at least
2.5mm2

some distance from it. Site the unit to minimise “dead leg”
distances, especially to the point of most frequent use.
Outlets above the unvented cylinder will reduce the outlet
The unit should be protected from frost. Particular care
is needed if siting in a garage or outbuilding. All exposed
pipework should be insulated. The unvented cylinder must

recommended cupboard size is 650mm wide by 750 deep.
NOTES:
The pressure reducing
valve, non-return valve
and expansion relief valve
are combined together in
the inlet control set.
On 60 – 180 litre sizes there
is no dedicated secondary
return boss and the
secondary return circuit
should be tee’d into the
cold feed pipe just above
the drain elbow.

GENERAL INSTALLATION
COLD MAINS PIPEWORK
Run the cold main through the building to the place where
the unvented cylinder is to be installed. Take care not to run
the cold pipe near hot water or heating pipework so that the
heat pick-up is minimized. Identify the cold water supply pipe
A 22mm BS1010 stopcock can typically be used but a 22mm
quarter turn full bore valve would be better as it does not
similar valves. Make the connection to the cold feed of the
cylinder and incorporate a drain valve. Position the drain
draining of cylinder when required. Position the inlet control
just ABOVE the Temperature & Pressure Relief Valve (TPRV)
mounted on the side of the cylinder. This ensures that the
cylinder does not have to be drained down in order to service
the inlet control set. Ensure that the arrow points in the

in 22mm. This can be reduced to 15mm and 10mm as
appropriate for the type of tap etc. Your aim should be
practical minimum so that the time taken for the hot water
is as quick as possible. Where monobloc mixing taps and
showers are used, these should be installed to comply with
the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999. If these
devices are supplied with un-balanced supplies there should
be single check valves installed at both inlets, to stop over
pressurising of either supply.
PRIMARY COIL CONNECTIONS FOR INDIRECT UNITS

access to the release knob and view of tundish is not blocked.
SECONDARY CIRCULATION
The unvented cylinder can be used with secondary
circulation. An appropriate WRAS approved bronze circulator
should be used in conjunction with a non-return valve to
On large secondary circulation systems it may be necessary
to incorporate an extra expansion vessel into the circuit
to accommodate the increased system water volume.
Secondary circulation should be avoided on Direct electrically
300 ltr units. On smaller sizes, tee into the cold feed pipe
above the drain.
IMMERSION HEATERS
The immersion heater is supplied with remotely mounted
thermostat within the heater enclosure. The thermostat
switches both live and neutral and comprises an adjustable
control and a high limit manually resettable thermal cut-out.
All thermostat connections and probe mounts are factory

DISCHARGE ARRANGEMENT
Position the inlet control group so that the discharge from
both safety valves can be joined together via a 15mm end
feed Tee (see diagram above). Connect the Tundish and
route the discharge pipe. The tundish should be installed
away from electrical devices. The discharge pipework must
be routed in accordance with Part G3 of schedule 1 of the
Building Regulations. The information that follows is not
exhaustive and if you are in doubt you should seek advice.
The two safety valves will only discharge water under fault
conditions. When operating normally water will not be
discharged. The tundish should be vertical, located in the
same space as the unvented hot water storage system and
device, with no more than 600mm of pipe between the valve
outlet and the tundish. The tundish should be positioned
away from electrical devices.
Any Discharge should be visible at the tundish. The tundish
should be located such that any discharge is visible. In
addition, where discharges from safety devices may not
be apparent, e.g. people with impaired vision or mobility,
consideration should be given to the installation of a suitable
safety device to warn when discharge takes place, e.g.
electronically operated.
The discharge pipe connected to the pressure-relief device is
to be installed in a continuously downward direction and in a
frost-free environment
Diagram of a typical discharge pipe arrangement (extract
from Building Regulation G3)
Note: The discharge will
consist of scalding water and
and non-metallic rainwater
goods may be damaged by
such discharges.
Note: Although building
regulations now permit the
D2 pipe from tundish to be
installed in soil stacks within
premises. This activity is
strongly not recommended
as discharge from T&P may
continue for long periods
of time. It is the installer’s
responsibility to ensure the
discharge pipework can
support the discharge for
prolonged periods.
If used follow guidance on
mechanical seal without
water trap given in G3
Building Regulations.
As discharge can be in
excess of 90oC discharge into
plastic pipework is also not
recommended.

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.
B) Be installed with a continuous fall of at least 1 in 200
thereafter.
The discharge pipe (D2) from the tundish should be of
metal or other material that have been demonstrated to
be capable of withstanding temperatures of the water
discharged.
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. discharge pipes between 9m
and 18m 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
example. An alternative approach for sizing discharge
installation, testing and maintenance of services supplying
water for domestic use within buildings and their curtilages.
The discharge pipe (D2) should terminate in a safe place
where there is no risk to persons in the vicinity of the
discharge. Examples of acceptable discharge arrangements
are:
grating and above the water seal.
b. Downward discharges at a low level; i.e. up to 100mm
above external surfaces such as car parks, hard standings,
grassed areas etc. are acceptable providing that where
children play or otherwise come into contact with discharges,
a wire cage or similar guard is positioned to prevent contact
whilst maintaining visibility.
c. Discharges at a high level; e.g. in to metal hopper
and metal down pipe with the end of the discharge pipe
clearly visible or onto a roof capable of withstanding high
temperature discharges of water and 3m from any plastic
guttering systems that would collect such discharges.
d. Device to warn when discharge takes place.
WORKED EXAMPLE
The example below is for 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 1:
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 maximum permitted
length equates to: 5.8m. 5.8m is less than the actual length
of 7m therefore calculate the next largest size. Maximum
resistance allowed for a straight length of 28mm pipe (D2)
from a G1/2 temperature relief valve equates to: 14m. As
the actual length is 7m, a 28mm (D2) copper pipe will be
satisfactory.
