Plumbing Installation Regulations The plumbing installation must comply with the current water and building regulations. The plumbing installation must be installed by a qualified person.
• Direction of flow: Ensure the water flow is in the direction of the arrow that is marked on the flow switch reed clamp (vertically upwards). • Flexible hoses: Only use the Bristan hose set supplied with the pump. • Isolating valves: Separate system isolating valves (non restrictive) must be fitted to allow easy pump service.

Preferred Pump Location The pump must, for optimum performance, be sited as close as possible to and never more than 4 metres from the HOT WATER cylinder. The pump should always be sited BELOW the HOT WATER take-off from the cylinder. The pump location is also dependent on limitations of the static inlet and outlet heads of the installation.
Page 11
Non-Preferred Pump Location If it is necessary to position the Pump above the secondary tapping on the hot cylinder it is fed by, the risk of introducing air will be increased. To avoid this risk one of the two following solutions must be adopted: The use of a Top Entry cylinder flange.
Page 13
Cold Water Connection The cold water supply: Must be a DEDICATED AIR FREE supply via a tank connector, and must be positioned at a slightly lower level (25 mm minimum) than the feed pipe to the hot water cylinder. Ensure that the pipework size from the cold water tank is 22mm minimum. Do not connect to the mains.
PUMP CONNECTIONS • Do not use stainless steel, chrome or nickel plated pipe with the flexible hose push-in plumbing connections. • Do not introduce solder flux into the joint or surrounding area as connectors will be attacked and will fail. •...

Flexible Inlet and Outlet Hoses The pump inlet and outlet ports are threaded G ¾ M. These ports are provided with a flat sealing face suitable for use with an appropriately sized flat faced fitting and fibre or rubber washer. Ensure a water tight seal is achieved when the pump is both stationary and running.
