This product overcomes Part G Building Regulation discharge requirements for
unvented cylinders but the installation is notifiable to building control unless it is
carried out under an approved competent person self-certification scheme.
Although the secondary supply (domestic) is at mains pressure, it is not necessary to
fit an expansion chamber, pressure or temperature relief valve, the plumbing should
allow any unusual build up of pressure to be relieved at the ball valve.
