Page 4: System Location
Additional parts required for installation of the SFHE: • 2 x circulation pumps. • 2 x pipe thermostats. • 1 x 1” injector T. • 1 x spring loaded non-return valve. To obtain the best results we recommend that the unit be fitted using the schematic provided. This will ensure that it will work correctly in normal conditions and in the event of power failure to the unit. - Page 5 The Return pipe to the heat exchanger from the existing pressurised system should be connected directly to the main/principal return pipe of the existing pressurised circuit. The flow/return from/to the heat exchanger must be pumped. Best practise is to fit a thermostat to your DHW cylinder, which will divert the heat to the heating system when your DHW cylinder is satisfied. This will prevent the DHW tank from over heating.
