To pipe two Heatrae Sadia Megaflo Eco SystemFit 145sf cylinders together heated by a gas boiler, follow these key steps:
1. Ensure Compatibility: Do not use with solid fuel boilers or uncontrolled energy sources unless proper safety measures are added.
2. Water Supply: - Ensure both cylinders are connected to a mains water supply with adequate pressure. - Use the supplied cold water inlet control kits, each with a full flow isolating valve.
3. Piping Connections: - Use 22mm compression fittings to connect pipework to the units. - Solder fittings can be used carefully without damaging the plastic casing. Push-fit fittings are also acceptable. - Install a suitable draining tap in the cold water supply line between the expansion valve and the heater.
4. Hot Water Outlet: - Connect the hot water outlets of both cylinders to a common manifold if combined output is desired. - Open hot taps furthest from the cylinders to flush and purge air during filling.
5. Heating System: - Connect the primary heating circuit from the gas boiler to the heating coil connections on both cylinders. - Use appropriate 28mm O/D copper pipes for 250 and 300 litre units; for 145sf, verify sizing. - Ensure the system controls and wiring centre are connected as per the manual.
6. Safety and Location: - Install tundishes away from electrical components. - Ensure discharge pipes are safely routed and the environment is frost-free.
7. Filling and Commissioning: - Close the drain cock. - Open the isolating valve and mains stopcock to fill the cylinders. - Do not operate immersion heaters during filling. - Purge air by opening hot taps. - Ensure immersion heaters are wired correctly.
This setup ensures safe and efficient operation of two Megaflo Eco SystemFit cylinders with a gas boiler.
