Maintenance
Safety valve (not supplied)
The safety valve must be inspected regularly, about 4
times a year, to prevent blockages. To inspect the valve,
open the safety valve manually and check that water
flows through the overflow pipe. If this does not happen,
the safety valve is defective and must be replaced.
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, res-
ulting in a pressure increase, whereby the safety valve
opens.
Emptying
1. Shut off the incoming cold water.
2. Open the drain connection, or the drain valve if fitted.
During draining, air must be let into the water heater by
loosening a hot water connector (XL4) or opening a hot
water tap.
To ensure that the water heater drains completely, a
hose, or a pipe, with an outlet below the lowest level of
the water heater must be attached to the drain connec-
tion or drain valve. When installed in a location that is
exposed to the risk of frost, the water heater must be
emptied whenever it is not in operation. Freezing will
result in the water heater bursting.
Service
For service, contact the installer. Serial number (PF3) (14
digits) and installation date should always be stated.
Only replacement parts supplied by NIBE may be used.

General
VPD is a water heater, which is suitable for connection
to heat pumps.
The water tank has internal stainless steel corrosion
protection.
The water heater is designed and manufactured for a
maximum cut-off pressure of 10 bar. Maximum permit-
ted temperature is 95 °C.
The insulation is polyurethane, which provides excellent
heat insulation. The outer shell on VPD is grey plastic.
VPD is equipped with submerged tube for control of hot
water heating.
Transport
VPD should be transported and stored vertically in a dry
place. The VPD may, however, be carefully laid on its
back when being moved into a building.

Assembly
The water heater is only designed for upright installation.
The water heater’s installation area should always have
a temperature of at least 10 °C (frost-free).
Position VPD on a firm base that can take the weight,
preferably on a concrete floor or foundation. Use the
product's adjustable feet to obtain a horizontal and
stable set-up.
The area where VPD is located must be equipped with
floor drainage.

Pipe installation
Pipe installation must be carried out in accordance with
current norms and directives.
The water heater must be fitted with the necessary
valves, such as a safety valve, shut-off valve and non-re-
turn valve.
The water heater must be provided with a mixer valve,
which limits the temperature of outgoing hot water to
60 °C. If this valve is not fitted, some other measure must
be taken to prevent the risk of scalding.
Internal support bushes must be fitted when a plastic or
annealed copper pipe is used. An overflow pipe must be
routed from the safety valve to a suitable drain. The
overflow pipe must be 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.

trated.
■Connect the return line from the heat pump to the
angled connection on the T-coupling. Install the sup-
plied non-return valve on this pipe.
■Install a shut-off valve on the incoming cold water
pipe.
■The safety valve must have a maximum 10.0 bar
opening pressure and be installed on the incoming
cold water line. The entire length of the overflow water
pipe from the safety valves must be inclined, to prevent
water pockets and must also be frost-free.
■Connect the incoming cold water to the T-coupling.
■Angled couplings, 22/15 mm, installed on connections
(XL4) and (XL36) as illustrated.
■Connect the supply line from the heat pump to pos

Installation alternative
VPD can be connected in several different ways, one of
which is shown here.
Further option information is available at www.nibe.eu
and in the respective assembly instructions for the heat
sources used.
To exhaust air heat pump
VPD can be docked with heat pump, for example NIBE
exhaust air heat pump.

Filling
Fill the water heater as follows:
1. Open a hot water tap in the system.
2. Fill the hot water heater through the cold water
connection (XL3).
3. The hot water tap can only be shut off when the
water heater is filled, which is when only water
comes out of the tap (initially an air-water mixture
comes out of the tap).
Electrical installation
NOTE
Electrical installation and service must be carried
out under the supervision of a qualified electri-
cian, and in accordance with applicable electrical
safety regulations.
VPD can be supplemented with up to two hot water
sensors, one for display and one for control. The display
sensor is positioned in the submerged tube for the dis-
play sensor (UA1) and the control sensor is positioned
in the submerged tube for the control sensor UA2. In
cases where it is only possible to connect one sensor, use
the submerged tube for the control sensor (UA2).
Use the sensors provided with the heat pump (or other
heat source). When no heat sensors have been provided
these must be ordered from the manufacturer of the
heat source.
