Where the gravity and central heating circuits join
together to return to the Cooker we recommend the
use of an injector tee connection, situated as close
to the unit as possible. This type of tee encourages
a stable flow of hot water through both circuits and
helps to prevent priority being given to the stronger
flow, which is most commonly the pumped central
heating circuit. This way, there will be no shortage
of hot water to the taps when the heating is on.
DRAINING
Key - operated drain taps to B.S. 2879 should be
provided in accessible positions in all low parts of
the system. However it should be noted that there
may be short sections of pipework e.g. when
passing under doorways that may be possible to
drain.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
It is important that the user is familiar with their
heating system and that they ensure regular checks
and maintenance which can limit unnecessary
break-downs.
We recommend that you evaluate the overall
insulation in your house, i.e. attic, external walls,
windows, external doors. Insulation and draught
proofing can greatly reduce running costs, while
equally enhancing living conditions.
DRAUGHT REQUIREMENTS
Remember, a proper flue is necessary for the
efficient operation of your solid fuel cooker to
provide a steady draught of:
0.06 INS. TO 0.10 INS. W.G.
1.52 MM TO 2.54 W.G.
