The maximum allowed resistance (i.e. equivalent length) is expressed as a length of
straight pipe (i.e. no elbows or bends).
NOTICE
All piping MUST be installed according to section G3 of the Building Regulations.
▪ Drainage – Pressure relief valve. Connect the drain hose properly to the drain to
avoid water dripping out of the unit. See

drain" [ 84].
▪ Air vents. Provide air vents at all high points of the system, which must also be
easily accessible for servicing. Two automatic air purges are provided in the
indoor unit. Check that the air purges are NOT tightened too much, so that
automatic release of air in the water circuit is possible.
▪ Zn-coated parts. NEVER use zinc coated parts in the water circuit. Because the
internal water circuit of the unit uses copper piping, excessive corrosion may
occur.
▪ Non-brass metallic piping. When using non-brass metallic piping, insulate the
brass and non-brass properly so that they do NOT make contact with each other.
This to prevent galvanic corrosion.
▪ Valve – Change‑over time. When using a 2-way valve or a 3-way valve in the
water circuit, the maximum change-over time of the valve must be 60 seconds.
▪ Domestic hot water tank – Capacity. To avoid stagnation of water, it is
important that the storage capacity of the domestic hot water tank meets the
daily consumption of domestic hot water.
▪ Domestic hot water tank – After installation. Immediately after installation, the
domestic hot water tank must be flushed with fresh water. This procedure must
be repeated at least once a day the first 5 consecutive days after installation.
▪ Domestic hot water tank – Standstills. In cases where during longer periods of
time there is no consumption of hot water, the equipment MUST be flushed with
fresh water before usage.
▪ Domestic hot water tank – Disinfection. For the disinfection function of the
domestic hot water tank, see "10.6.6 Tank" [
▪ Domestic hot water tank kit – Clean pipes. Before installing the domestic hot
water tank kit, all piping and fittings must be flushed free of flux and debris.
Failure to do this may cause irreparable damage to the tank kit control valves.
Flush the system by opening the hot water tap.
▪ Domestic hot water tank kit – Pressure balancing. To prevent large pressure
differences at the taps and damage to the shower valve due to high‑pressure
cold water (5 bar), provide a dedicated 3.5‑bar feed to both cold water and hot
water taps. To do this, also connect the cold water supply for the cold water taps
to the pressure reducing valve of the domestic hot water tank kit.
