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. Locate the water heater in a suitable position
to facilitate the installation of the cold water
supply,dischargettingsandpipework.Also
take into account access to the immersion
heater.
4. Fit the combined male elbow drain cock to
coldsupplypoint(14),sothatthecompres-
sionttingisvertical.
5. Fit the length of copper tube 22 mm speci-
ed in Table 1 to the cold feed elbow (see
pt.4above).
6. FittheMultibloc(5)tothetopofthecopper
tube(seept.5above).
7. Connect 15 mm copper tube from the ex-
pansion relief valve (4) and also from the
T&Pvalve(5)andjointogetherinaTeeas
