Outlet/Terminal Fittings (Taps, Etc.); Limitations; Operational Summary; Outline Specifications - Ecodan 150 Standard Installation And Servicing Instructions

OUTLET/TERMINAL FITTINGS (TAPS, ETC.)

The Pre-plumbed cylinder can be used in conjunction with most types of terminal fittings, plumbing fittings and pipework.
However, the rated pressures of any fittings selected should be checked for compatibility before installation.
NOTE: Accessories, plumbing fittings and pipework should have a rated operating pressure of at least 8 bar.
Outlets situated higher than the cylinder will give outlet pressures lower than that at the unit, a 10m height difference
will result in a 1 bar pressure reduction at the outlet fitting.

LIMITATIONS

Pre-plumbed
The cylinder should not be used in association with any of the following:
• Solid fuel boilers or any other boiler in which the energy input is not under effective thermostatic control, unless additional
and appropriate safety measures are installed.
• Ascending spray type bidets or any other class 1 back syphonage risk require that a type A air gap be employed.
• Steam heating plants unless additional and appropriate safety devices are installed.
• Situations where maintenance is likely to be neglected or safety devices tampered with.
• Water supplies that have either inadequate pressure or where the supply may be intermittent.
• Situations where it is not possible to safely pipe away any discharge from the safety valves.
• In areas where the water consistently contains a high proportion of solids, e.g. suspended matter that could block the
strainer unless adequate filtration can be ensured.
