2 Safety instructions
The installation and commissioning as well as the connection of electrical components require
technical knowledge commensurate with a recognised vocational qualification as a fitter for
plumbing, heating and air conditioning technology, or a profession requiring a comparable level of
knowledge [specialist].
The following must be observed during installation and commissioning:
●relevant local and national regulations
●accident prevention regulations of the professional association
●instructions and safety instructions mentioned in these instructions
CAUTION
Personal injury and damage to property!
The product must only be used in heating circuits filled with heating water according
to VDI 2035 / Ö-Norm H 5195-1.
►The product must not be used in drinking water applications.
WARNING
Material damage due to mineral oils!
Mineral oil products cause lasting damage to seals made of EPDM, whereby the sealant properties
are lost. We do not assume liability nor provide warranty for damage to property resulting from
sealants damaged in this way.
►It is imperative to prevent the EPDM sealing elements from making contact with substances
containing mineral oils.
►Use a silicone- or polyalkylene-based lubricant free of mineral oil such as Unisilikon L250L
and Syntheso Glep 1 from Klüber or a silicone spray.

3 Product description
The HeatBloC® K35 is a preassembled group of fittings for heating circuits. The HeatBloC® is mounted
directly onto a mounting plate or onto a distribution manifold. The distance between the pipe axis of
the HeatBloC® and the wall must be at least 10 cm, as the connection C-3 is on the back side of the
mixing valve.
Attention: To use the PAW piping sets (item no. 36092KS2 / KS3 / KS4), the centre distance, that is the
distance to the wall, must be at least 150 mm!

3.2 Function
K35 - 3-temperature mixing valve with additional
connection for a second flow temperature
The 3-temperature mixing valve is used in combination
with a buffer tank which can be heated either by a solar
installation, a solid fuel boiler or a conventional boiler.
If the consumer only needs a low temperature level, such
as for radiant panel heating systems, the 3-temperature
mixing valve first takes the flow water from the
intermediate part of the storage tank. Only when the
temperature in this part is no longer sufficient, the hot
water from the upper part of the tank is used.
Application range:
●Heating systems with buffer
tank & solar heating support
●Control of radiant floor
heating & panel heating
systems
By using two parts of the storage tank for two different
flow temperatures, the energy from the buffer tank can be
used more efficiently.
The return temperatures are low and the stratification in
the buffer tank is maintained.
3.2.1 3-temperature mixing valve [specialist]
The 3-temperature mixing valve, driven by an electric actuator, adjusts the flow temperature of the
consumer circuit to the required value by means of the flow sensor and the controller. It is equipped
with a second flow connection (C-3) on the back side. This connection allows to withdraw water with a
lower flow temperature from the intermediate part of the tank, f. ex. of a buffer tank.
K35: A check valve is integrated in this second flow connection to avoid unwanted circulation in the
mixing valve. This check valve is designed for heating pumps with a maximum head of 7 m. If you
want to use a more powerful pump, an additional check valve may be necessary in the feed line.
MC45: A non-return valve (D-1) prevents unwanted circulation.

Retrofitting and commissioning of the heating circuit
1. Interchange the return pipe (D) and the flow pipe with the pump (B).
Consider the flow direction of the pump!
Turn the pump head such that the terminal box is directed to the top or to the centre of the
group of fittings.
2. Dismount and interchange the ball valves.
3. Mount the HeatBloC® and connect it to the installation.
4. Check all union nuts before commissioning and firmly tighten them if necessary.
5. Mount the insulation only after having carried out a pressure test. Mount the thermometer
handles (A-2, F-2) in a final step.
3.2.3 Check valve and non-return valve [specialist]
The HeatBloC® is equipped with a check valve (D-1, opening pressure 200 mm wc) in the return pipe
and with a non-return valve (C-4, opening pressure 50 mm wc) in the return of the mixing valve. The
valves can be opened. An additional check valve is integrated in the connection C-3 (low-temperature
flow).
This check valve cannot be opened!
