INSTALLATION
5.2

TORRENT DIRECT

(a) The Torrent Direct is supplied with two 3kW immersion heaters and has been designed to
generally operate with an off-peak supply. The lower immersion heater heats the whole of
the store and is normally connected to the off-peak supply. The top immersion heater
heats the top of the store and this is connected to the unrestricted on-peak supply and is
switched manually by the householder when required using the off-peak controller.
(b) The schematic arrangement of the wiring for the Torrent Direct is shown in figure 4.1. The
whole of the electrical installation shall be designed and installed by a competent person
fully in accordance with the latest edition of the 'Requirements for Electrical Installations,
(c) It is important to ensure that the primary store is filled and vented before switching on the
immersion heaters. Even if the water is available at the hot and cold taps, it does not
necessarily follow that the store has water in it. Please check the feed and expansion
cistern).
5.3 TORRENT INDIRECT and TORRENT RE-Solar
(a) The design requirements for the open vented and sealed heating systems are described in
section 4 of this document and the system should be installed according to these guide
lines and the guidance notes supplied with other relevant heating equipment being
installed.
(b) If the optional immersion heater is fitted to the Torrent, then wiring to it must be in
accordance with the relevant IEE Wiring regulations and the circuit must be protected by a
suitable fuse and a double pole isolating switch.
(c) Both Torrent Indirect and Torrent RE-Solar ('OV' and 'SP') models can be installed and
wired using either 'Y' Plan, 'S' Plan control systems. Also the 'OV' models can be installed
and wired using separate pumps for space heating and boiler circuits. The example wiring
diagrams are included in this manual for guidance are listed below.
