  • Page 10: Regular Care

    REGULAR CARE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE The pressure relief valve is located in the in/out header of the water heater and is essential for its safe operation. It is possible for the pressure relief valve to release a little water through the drain line during each heating period. This occurs as the water is heated and expands by approximately 1/50 of its volume.

  • Page 20 CONNECTIONS – PLUMBING ® Equa-Flow Principles ® The principle of Equa-Flow is to ensure the demand on each water heater, or storage cylinder in the bank is the same as any other. To achieve this, the following is necessary: The cold water manifold (cold header assembly) must be designed to balance the flow to each unit i.e. each branch line must be the same diameter and length and be fitted with identical ball or gate valves (refer to diagram below).
