Page 3: Preface
Our full Terms & Conditions of Sale are available on request. The MULTIflow thermal storage system is required to be fitted by a competent installer, in accordance with Building Regulations G, Gas Safety Regulations, and the Water Fitting Regulations (England and Wales), Water Fitting Regulations (Northern Ireland) or Water Byelaws (Scotland). -
Page 4: Handling & Storage
13/01/21 Handling & Storage It is important the MULTIflow is handled with care and stored the correct way up in a dry place at all times prior to, during and after installation. Carrying handles are provided in the back of the casing to assist with lifting and positioning. -
Page 5: Design
Issue 3 13/01/21 Design The copper MULTIflow Thermal Store is a primary store that is very well insulated to ensure minimum Heat Loss and optimally designed to meet the stringent requirements of ERP. Cold water at mains pressure passes through a High Efficiency Coil, which is specifically designed to draw heat from the thermal store at mains pressure. -
Page 6: Mains Water Supply
Issue 3 13/01/21 Mains Water Supply The MULTIflow’s performance is largely related to the cold water supply pressure and flow rate incoming to the property. • The mains supply to the unit should ideally be in a minimum of 22mm diameter but will work with 15mm if there is adequate pressure and flow rate. -
Page 7: Water Treatment
While we strongly recommend it, inhibitor is optional where the units are utilised with electricity only. However if there are doubts regarding the quality of water being used to fill the MULTIflow, an inhibitor should be added to the appliance when filling in line with the manufacturer’s instructions for these products. -
Page 8: Pipework
• The cold feed from the main incoming stop tap to the MULTIflow should be run in 22mm pipe. The cold main and hot draw-off should also be run in 22mm as far as the branch to the bath tap. -
Page 9: Showers
A flow restrictor may be required in the shower outlet hose. • The hot water supply to a shower-mixing valve should be fed wherever practical directly from the MULTIflow or be the first draw-off point on the hot circuit. •... -
