3 Installation
Location of the Tank
UKV buff er tanks can be installed in any room pro-
tected against temperature drop below 0°C, which
will prevent freezing of water in the tanks. It should be
installed in a convenient place for the user (eg base-
ment, boiler room, etc.), in a way that will enable easy
maintenance or servicing in the future.
Select the device location in a way allowing the rational
routing of the central heating system. We recommend
installation of the buff er tanks in the immediate vicinity
of the main heat source in order to avoid unnecessary
heat losses. Consider the fi lled tank weight when se-
lecting its location as well as free space above and on
the sides of the buff er tank required to perform mainte-
nance and inspections of the unit.

The tank stands on three adjustable feet that can be ad-
justed within the range from 0 to 15 mm to level the tank.
