Description
The safety kit is used to protect the hot water storage tank from exceeding the maximum working
pressure, to test the function of the check valve and to drain the DHW tank. The set contains all the
elements for pressure protection of the DHW tank prescribed by the valid EN 1488 standard, i.e.:
●safetyvalve,
●checkvalve,
●testvalvetoverifythefunctionofthecheckvalve,
●drainvalve,

of the expansion vessel is located opposite the inlet for the connection of the pressure gauge and is
plugged by a lid from the factory.
Installation
The safety kit installs on the cold water supply pipe upstream of the HW storage tank; if necessary, the
pressure gauge can be connected to the opposite inlet which will result in a mirror variant of the kit; no

Function Check
Turn the safety valve knob once a year to check its function. At least once a year, close the inlet
ball valve and open the valve designed to test the function of the check valve. The check valve
is OK if no uid under pressure is owing out of the test valve.
When checking the safety valve, checking the function of the check valve and when draining
the tank, very hot water may come out of the product - risk of scalding.
