3.8 Pipe installation
The product is designed to be permanently
connected to the mains water supply.
Approved pipes of the correct size should be
used for installation. The relevant standards and
regulations must be followed.
3.8.1 Incoming water pressure
Theeciencyoftheproductdependsonthein-
coming cold water pressure. The water pressure
should be min. 2 bar and max. 6 bar throughout
the day. Excessive water pressure can be adjust-
ed by installing a pressure reduction valve.
3.8.2 Connecting pipes
Pipes of suitable size and quality should be run to
theconnectionsontheproductandxedwitha
suitable sealant.
A safety valve of the approved type (see page 3)
should be tted in the heating circuit (not sup-
plied). The safety valve should not be plugged or
blocked.Anyoverowpipefromthesafetyvalve
must be clear, undamaged and frost-free with a
fall to the drain.

relief valve and immersion heater are positioned
at 90° apart. The DELTA Twin Coil VIP cylinder
must be positioned to ensure that the tundish is
visible and there is easy access to the thermostat
and to remove the immersion heater if required.
3.9.1 Protection from frost
If the water heater is in danger of being exposed
to frost while not operating under electric power,
the unit must be drained to avoid damage. Make
suretheelectricpoweristurnedobeforedrain-
ing, otherwise the heating elements can be dam-
aged and the warranty is void. Draining instruc-
tions, see “Draining ” on page 5.
3.9.2 Cold water supply
1. To obtain the best performance from your
OSO unvented system it is advisable to feed
the unit with an uninterrupted supply.
2. Beforeconnectingtothemultibloc,ushthe

3. Locate the water heater in a suitable posi-
tion to facilitate the installation of the cold
water supply, discharge ttings and pipe-
work. Also take into account access to the
immersion heater.
4. Fit the combined male elbow drain cock to
cold supply point (14), so that the compres-
sionttingisvertical.
5. Fit the length of copper tube 22 mm speci-
ed in Table 1 tothe cold feedelbow (see
pt. 4 above).
6. Fit the Multibloc (5) to the top of the copper
tube (see pt. 5 above).
7. Connect 15 mm copper tube from the ex-
pansion relief valve (4) and also from the
T&P valve (5) and join together in a Tee as
shown on page 8.
8. Fit the tundish (8) to the bottom connection
of this tee.
9. Connect the cold supply to the multibloc (5).
10. Fit the expansion vessel to the wall close to
the water heater using the enclosed mount-
ing bracket. Connect the expansion vessel
to the multibloc, as shown on page 8.
3.9.3 Hot water supply
Connect the hot water supply pipe to the outlet
(13). Ensure connection is water tight.
3.9.4 Balanced cold water supply (optional)
If no balanced cold supply is required, tighten
the supplied blanking cap. If a balanced mains
pressure cold water supply is required to a
shower or bidet (over rim type only, ascending
spray type requires type AA,AB or AD air gap),
remove blanking cap and connect to the shower
or bidet cold supply on the multibloc valve (5).
(Major shower manufacturers advise tting a
mini expansion vessel in the balanced cold sup-
ply pipework to accommodate thermal expan-
sion and prevent tightening of shower controls)
