All pipes to be fitted into the push-fit connectors provided
should be cut using a pipe slicer or pipe cutter - to leave
the pipe ends with a slight radius and free from any burrs
or sharp edges.
Pipes to be used with these fittings should not be cut
square using a hacksaw.

A 15 mm discharge pipe must be connected to the safety valve
outlet connection. The pipework between the safety valve and the
boiler must be unrestricted, that is, no valves. The discharge pipe
should be run to the outside of the building and terminate so that it
cannot cause injury to persons or property.
A drain tap is provided at the bottom on the front of the boiler (and
also on the hot water store on the Vortex Pro Combi).
