The water supply must be of wholesome water quality (Fluid Category 1 as defined by the Water Supply Regulations 1999). The Andrews Water Heaters - STXL cylinder is to be used for the storage of wholesome water (max. 250mg/l chloride).
Pressure reducing valve: The pressure reducing valve can be connected anywhere on the cold water mains supply prior to the Andrews water heater. There is no requirement to site it close to the unit, it can be located at a point where the mains supply enters the premises if this is more convenient but you must install a non-return valve just after the reducing valve for ease of maintenance.

The following extract is taken from the latest G3 Regulations Discharge pipes from safety devices Discharge pipe D1 3.50 Safety devices such as temperature relief valves or combined temperature and pressure and pressure relief valves (see paragraphs 3.13 or 3.18) should discharge either directly or by way of a manifold via a short length of metal pipe (D1) to a tundish. 3.51 The diameter of discharge pipe (D1) should be not less than the nominal outlet size of the temperature relief valve.
Discharge pipework It is a requirement of building regulations that any discharge from an unvented system is conveyed to where it is visible, but will not cause danger to persons in or about the building. The tundish and discharge pipes should be fitted in accordance with the requirements and guidance notes of building regulations.
Page 21
Notes: Discharge pipe-work D2 can now be a plastic pipe but only pipes that have been tested to a minimum 110°C must be used. Discharge pipe D2 can now be plumbed in the soil stack but only soil stacks that can handle temperatures of 99°C or greater should be used.
Indirect system Boiler Selection The Andrews water heater, indirect models are suitable for use with most gas or oil fired boilers compatible with unvented systems i.e. fitted with a temperature control thermostat and thermal cut-out. If in doubt consult the boiler manufacturer.

Slowly, manually open for a few seconds, the temperature and pressure relief valve (T&P valve) situated on the Andrews water heater. Check water discharged runs freely away through the tundish and discharge pipework. Close valve, ensure water flow stops and valve reseats correctly.
Switch off the electrical supply to the Auxiliary immersion heater(s) and shut down the boiler on indirect units. Turn off the mains water supply to the Andrews water heater. Attach a hosepipe to the drain cock having sufficient length to take water to a suitable discharge point below the level of the unit, at least one metre below the unit is recommended.
