Connecting the secondary circuit
Preparing the connections on the DHW side
For connecting the DHW side, observe DIN 1988 and
DIN 4753 (CH: SVGW regulations).

Safety valve
The DHW cylinder must have a safety valve to protect
against unduly high pressure.
Recommendation: Install safety valve above top edge
of cylinder. This means the DHW cylinder will not need
to be drained when working on the safety valve.
CH: According to W3 "Principles for creating potable
water installations", safety valves must be drained
directly via a visible unrestricted drain or via a short
outlet line to the drain network.
Drinking water filter
According to DIN 1988-2, a drinking water filter must
be installed in systems with metal pipework.
Viessmann also recommends the installation of a
drinking water filter when using plastic pipes to
DIN 1988 to prevent contaminants entering the DHW
system.

Automatic thermostatic mixing valve
With appliances that heat DHW to temperatures above
60 °C, an automatic thermostatic mixing valve must be
installed in the DHW line as protection against scald-
