• Because water comes from F110, the area where the
heating pump is located must be equipped with floor
drainage.
•Install with its back to an outside wall, ideally in a room
where noise does not matter, in order to eliminate
noise problems. If this is not possible, avoid placing
it against a wall behind a bedroom or other room
where noise may be a problem.
• Wherever the unit is located, walls to sound sensitive
rooms should be fitted with sound insulation.
• Route pipes so they are not fixed to an internal wall
that backs on to a bedroom or living room.
• The heat pump's installation area should always have
a temperature of at least 10 °C and max 30 °C.

General pipe
connections
Pipe installation must be carried out in accordance with
current norms and directives.
F110 is only designed for be installed vertically. The
water heater is equipped with compression ring coup-
lings for copper or plastic pipes. Internal support bushes
must be fitted when a plastic pipe or annealed copper
pipe is used. The mixer valve is set for the desired hot
water temperature. Turn the mixer knob anti-clockwise
to increase hot water temperature. Setting range 40–65
°C.
An overflow pipe should be routed from the safety valve
to a suitable drain. The overflow pipe must be at least
the same size as the safety valve. Route the overflow
pipe from the safety valve, sloping along its entire
length, and ensure that it is frost proof. The mouth of
the overflow pipe must be visible and not placed close
to electrical components.
The safety valve (FL1) must be checked regularly, about
four times a year.
1. Turn the safety valve anticlockwise.
2. Check that water flows through the safety valve
overflow pipe.
3. If no water comes out, contact the installer to re-
place the safety valve immediately.
The safety valve sometimes releases a little water after
hot water has been used. This discharge is caused by
the expansion of cold water entering the water heater,
resulting in a pressure increase, whereby the safety
valve opens.
NOTE
The pipe systems need to be flushed out be-
fore F110 is connected so that any debris can-
not damage component parts.

SYSTEM DIAGRAM
F110 consists of heat pump module, water heater, im-
mersion heater and control system.
The valve connector must not be used for external in-
stallation, relocation or separation.
When the air passes through the evaporator, the refri-
gerant evaporates because of its low boiling point. In
this way the energy in the air is transferred to the refri-
gerant.
The refrigerant is then compressed in a compressor,
causing the temperature to rise considerably.
The warm refrigerant is led to the condenser. Here, the
refrigerant gives off its energy to the hot water,
whereupon the refrigerant changes state from gas to
liquid.
The refrigerant then goes via filters to the expansion
valve, where the pressure and temperature are reduced.
The refrigerant has now completed its circulation and
returns to the evaporator.

Installation alternative
F110 must be connected according to the instructions
in this manual.
Installation must be carried out in accordance with cur-
rent standards and directives.
EXHAUST AIR
Connecting the exhaust air
With an exhaust air connection the heat in the building's
ventilation air is used to heat the hot water while the
house is ventilated.
The hot air is transferred from the rooms to the heat
pump via the house ventilation system.
NOTE
An air filter (HQ12) (enclosed), minimum classi-
fication G2, is required on the exhaust air duct
for this connection. The filter must be cleaned
regularly.
Caution
Noise from the fan can be transferred via the
ventilation ducts.
OUTDOOR AIR
Connecting the outdoor air
With outdoor air connection the heat in the outdoor air
is used to heat up the hot water.
• The pressure drop in the system must not exceed 60
Pa. Factors affecting the pressure drop include the
dimensions of the air ducts, the number of bends and
the length of the ducts. Example: In a system with
160 mm air ducts and 7 bends, the ducts may be a
maximum of 8 m in length.
• Attempt to find a location for F110 on the side of the
house that faces the least sound sensitive neighbour-
ing area.
Caution
Noise from the fan can be transferred via the
air ducts.
NIBE F110Chapter 4 | Pipe and air connections14

SURROUNDING AIR
Connecting surrounding air
With surrounding air connection the heat in the room
air is used to heat up the hot water. The outgoing air
can be used to cool a room.
In installations where air is taken from one room and
released into another, there can be over pressure if
the room is not ventilated correctly. This can lead to
damp in the building.
Caution
Outgoing air from F110 is cold and can
therefore cool the room when it is released.
Take incoming air from one room and release
the outgoing air to the same room.
Take incoming air from one room and release the outgoing air to another room or outdoors.
15Chapter 4 | Pipe and air connectionsNIBE F110

General ventilation
connections
• Ventilation installation must be carried out in accord-
ance with current norms and directives.
• Connections must be made via flexible hoses, which
should be installed so that they are easy to replace.
• Provision must be made for inspection and cleaning
of the duct.
• Make sure that there are no reductions of cross-sec-
tional area in the form of creases, tight bends, etc.,
since this will reduce the ventilation capacity.
• The air duct system must be a minimum of air tight-
ness class B.
• To prevent fan noise being transferred to the ventila-
tion devices, silencers should be installed in the duct
system. In the event of ventilation devices in noise-
sensitive rooms, silencers must be installed.
For installation with ambient air, the enclosed silencer
has to be fitted in F110.
• Ducts that may become cold must be insulated with
diffusion-proof material (at least PE30 or equivalent)
along their entire length.
• Ensure that the condensation insulation is fully sealed
at any joints and/or at lead-in nipples, silencers, roof
cowls or similar.
• A duct in a masonry chimney stack must not be used
for extract air.
•For installation with outdoor air, the air must be routed
to the outdoor air duct through an outer wall grille in
the facade. The outer wall grille must be installed so
that it is protected from the weather and must be
designed so that no rainwater and/or snow can penet-
rate the facade or follow the air into the duct.
• When positioning the outdoor air and extract air
hood/grille for outdoor air installation, bear in mind that
the two air flows must not short circuit, thus prevent-
ing the extract air from being drawn into F110 again.
• When positioning the exhaust air and extract air ducts
for installation with ambient air, bear in mind that the
two air flows must not short circuit, thus preventing
the extract air from being drawn into F110 again.
• The heat pump must be provided with the enclosed
air filter (HQ12).
EXHAUST AIR DUCT /KITCHEN FAN
Exhaust air duct (kitchen fan) must not be connected to
F110.
To prevent food vapour being transferred to F110 the
distance between the kitchen fan and the exhaust air
device must be considered. The distance should not be
less than 1.5 m, but this can vary between different in-
stallations.
Always use a kitchen fan when cooking.
INSTALL THE FILTER CARTRIDGE
The filter cartridge has two sizes of connector, 125 mm
or 160 mm.
1. Check the diameter of the air channel for inlet air.
2. When the air duct has a large diameter (Ø 160 mm)
the inner ring must be cut out of the upper section
of the filter cartridge.
3. Cut just inside the inner edge of the outer ring using
a sharp knife. The plastic is prepared for easy cut-
ting.
4. Press the filter cartridge into place in the connection
for incoming air (XL43).

INSTALL THE CONNECTOR
If a filter solution other than that enclosed is used, the
enclosed coupling must instead be mounted in the
connection for incoming air (XL43).
INSTALL THE SILENCER
1. Remove the plugs from the silencer enclosed.
2. Install the silencer in the connector for outgoing air
(XL44).

Ventilation flow
(exhaust air)
Connect F110 so that all the exhaust air, except kitchen
duct air (kitchen fan), passes through the evaporator
(EP1) in the heat pump.
The ventilation flow must comply with the applicable
national standards.
For optimum heat pump performance, the ventilation
flow must not be less than 20 l/s (73 m³/h) at normal
exhaust air temperature. At lower exhaust air temperat-
ures, a higher flow is required.
Set the ventilation capacity in the heat pump’s menu
system (menu 5.1.5).
If the exhaust air temperature falls below 10°C or the
outdoor air is below -10°C, the compressor is blocked
and electric additional heat is permitted. Energy is not
recovered from the exhaust air/outdoor air when the
compressor is blocked.
Adjusting ventilation
(exhaust air)
To obtain the necessary air exchange in every room of
the house, the exhaust air devices must be correctly
positioned and adjusted and the fan in the heat pump
adjusted.
Immediately after installation adjust the ventilation so
that it is set according to the projected value of the
house.
Incorrect adjustment of the ventilation may lead to re-
duced installation efficiency and thus poorer operating
economy, and may cause moisture damage in the
building

F110 is connected to an earthed socket with the factory-
installed connection cable (length approx. 2.8 m), which
is fitted with a plug.
For permanent installations, the hot water heat pump
must be connected with an isolator switch with a min-
imum breaking gap of 3 mm.
Other electrical equipment is connected at the factory.
NOTE
The circulation pump must not be powered up
until F110 is activated in the indoor module.
Optional connections
AUX INPUTS
Switch for external blocking off additional heat
and/or compressor
Blocking for addition heat and compressor is connected
on two different AUX inputs.
When external blocking of additional heat and/or the
compressor is desired, this can be connected to terminal
block X13 on the base board (AA2).
The additional heat and/or the compressor are discon-
nected by connecting a potential-free switch function
to AUX1 (X13:1 och X13:2) (additional heat) and/or AUX2
(X13:3 och X13:4) (compressor).
