4. The cylinder’s installation and the initial start-up, as well as all electrical and hydraulic work must be performed by a qualified professional installer. 5. The cylinder is designed for standing vertical installation- screw on feet or wall-hung installation (after purchasing an appropriate hanger from KOSPEL company), either horizontally or vertically. 6. Mounting of the device in a wall-hung position should be done on the wall with sufficient carrying capacity. Full tank’s weight: 250 kg.

Connection to the water system Connection to the water system must be performed according to binding norms of hydraulic installation. The cylinder is a pressure appliance designed for connection to the water supply system where the water pressure doesn’t exceed 0,6 MPa. If the water pressure exceeds 0,6 MPa, the pressure reducing valve before cylinder must be fitted. Please follow the water connection instructions below: install the T-connection with 6 bar safety valve (e.g. ZB-4) and the drain valve to the fitting of the cold water inlet [ZW]. It’s forbidden to install a cut-off valve (or any flow reducer) between the tank and the safety valve and on its outlet. The safety valve must be installed in such a place as to quickly let you notice the outgoing water, install the cylinder equipped with the safety valve to the water system, attached pipe (PEX-AL-PEX) must be properly screwed into one of the two sockets 3/4″ acc. to the diagram ‘SP180 mounting options’ Sockets 3/4″ which are located in the upper part of the unit are intended for cold water inlet and hot water outlet. Each cylinder is equipped with fitting for domestic hot water circulation connection- 1/2″. When mounted in the vertical position PEX-AL-PEX pipe can be screwed in any of the 3/4″ sockets, however, ZW (cold water) should be led to the bottom part of the storage tank, whereas CW (hot water) should be delivered from upper parts of the storage. When mounted in the horizontal position PEX-AL-PEX pipe must be screwed in the bottom socket and ZW (cold water) inlet should be attached to it. GB-062_f.850...

Cylinder emptying When mounted in vertical positions (connections up) in order to allow gravity draining- draining pipe should be led towards the bottom of the storage tank.

Connection to the central heating system Cylinder must be fitted to the central heating system by pipe unions 1″. A cut-off valves must be installed before the pipe unions. A flow rate of heating water must be high enough to maximise cylinder’s efficiency (see technical data table). It concerns the forced circulation installation (with a central heating water pump).

Cylinder must be filled with water: • turn on the valve on cold water supply pipe, • turn on the hot water outlet valve (water outflow without the air bubbles indicates that the tank is full), • turn off the outlet valves, • turn on the heating medium valves , • vent heating circuit- if need be.
• Heat up the water above 70°C periodically for hygiene reasons. • Failures or malfunctions notify to the seller. • Insulate the outlet pipe and heating coil connection pipes to minimise the heat loss (recommended). Above activities are beyond of the scope of warranty service (should be done by the user).
