4 Installation Installation Installation regulations Important Only qualified professionals are permitted to install the domestic hot water tank, in accordance with prevailing local and national regulations. Danger Limit temperature at draw-off points: the maximum domestic hot water temperature at the draw-off points is the subject of special regulations that vary from country to country in order to protect consumers.
4 Installation 4.3.2 Position of the appliance Caution Install the appliance in a frost-free location. 1. Position the appliance as close as possible to the draw-off points in order to minimise energy losses through the pipes. 2. Place the appliance on a base frame to facilitate cleaning of the area. 3.
4 Installation AS 300–2E BC 1743.5 1845.5 G (Ø) Positioning the appliance Caution Have 2 people available. Handle the appliance with gloves. Fig.5 1. Remove the packaging from the calorifier but leave the calorifier on the shipping pallet. 2. Remove the protective packaging. 3.
4 Installation Fitting the 1"1/2 cap Important If the immersion heater option is not fitted: The cap and its insulation are supplied in an accessories bag. A plug and its new 1 1/2" gasket (not supplied) must be fitted before using the water tank. Fig.8 1.
4 Installation 4.9.2 Connecting the tank to the domestic water circuit (secondary circuit) When making the connection, it is imperative that the standards and corresponding local directives be respected. Insulate the pipes to keep heat losses to a minimum. Specific precautions Before making the connection, flush the drinking water inlet pipes in order not to allow metal or other particles into the appliance's tank.
4 Installation Install a water drain in the boiler room and a funnel-siphon for the safety unit. Fit a non-return valve to the domestic cold water circuit. Install a dielectric union on the domestic cold water inlet. Pressure reducer If the supply pressure exceeds 80% of the safety valve or unit calibration (e.g.: 0.55 MPa/5.5 bar for a safety unit calibrated to 0.7 MPa/7 bar), a pressure reducer must be located upstream of the appliance.
