    INSTALLED BY AN APPROVED INSTALLER. If the Lochinvar EcoShield is to be used in an unvented arrangement, the system should follow the guidance given in BS6700 and must comply with the Building Regulations 1992: Part G3. A kit of components that have been suitably sized for the unvented operation of the appliance is available from Lochinvar Limited.
  • Page 22: Relief Valve Discharge Pipework

    10.3.2 RELIEF VALVE DISCHARGE PIPEWORK It is important that any discharge water does not collect in the discharge pipe-work and can run freely to the tundish. The Tundish should be mounted in a vertical and visible position located in the same space as the unvented hot water storage system and be fitted as close as possible and within 500mm of the safety device e.g.

    should be interrupted using a suitable relay. The burner control interprets the break in the wiring as a very high temperature within the storage vessel and shuts the burner down if it is firing or prevents a firing sequence occurring if it is not. It should be noted that the design of the control board interprets the very high recorded temperature as a fault and automatically closes the alarm contacts to indicate that an error has occurred;...
