INSTALLATION – GENERAL PIPE FITTINGS The connection points to the heating system are in 22 mm copper pipe. The use of appropriately sized COMPRESSION FITTINGS is recommended when connecting to the pipes. Solder fittings can be used, but extreme care must be taken to ensure any ancillary components in close proximity are not damaged by heat.
Page 19
DRAIN TAPS Drain taps are fitted to both the primary system pipe work and to the cold water inlet to facilitate draining the unit or indirect heating circuit for maintenance purposes. It is recommended that the outlet point of the drain pipe work be at least 1 metre below the level of the heater (this can be achieved by attaching a hose pipe to the drain tap outlet spigot).
Page 21
INSTALLATION - DISCHARGE It is a requirement of Building Regulation G3 that any discharge from an unvented system is conveyed to where it is visible, but will not cause danger to persons in or about the building. The tundish and discharge pipes should be fitted in accordance with the requirements and guidance notes of Building Regulation G3.
Page 22
Note: An alternative approach for sizing discharge pipes would be to follow Annex D, section D.2 of BS 6700:2006 +A1:2009 Specification for design, installation, testing and maintenance of services supplying water for domestic use within buildings and their curtilages. 3.59 Where a single common discharge pipe serves more than one system, it should be at least one pipe size larger than the largest individual discharge pipe(D2) to be connected.

INSTALLATION - HEAT PUMP PRIMARY CIRCUIT HEAT PUMP SELECTION • The Pre-plumbed cylinders are suitable for use with an Ecodan PUZ-WZ or PUZ-(H)WM Air Source heat pump. • If in doubt consult Mitsubishi Electric for further advice. • Solid fuel boilers or any other boiler in which the energy input is not under effective thermostatic control unless additional and appropriate safety measures are installed should NOT be used.
Page 25
If the interlock operation of primary and secondary pump is available ensure minimum water volume in primary and secondary circuit. If the interlock of operation of primary and secondary pump is not available ensure minimum water volume in only primary circuit. In case of shortage of minimum water volume install a buffer tank. SIZING EXPANSION VESSELS Expansion vessel volume must fit the local system water volume.

WIRING All electrical wiring should be carried out by a competent electrician and be in accordance with the latest I.E.E. Wiring Regulations. The Pre-plumbed cylinder thermal controls and circulating pumps are factory pre-wired. Further wiring will be required between the FTC7 controller, the programmer, room temperature sensor and the Heat Pump. Additional controls and wiring will be required if a second space heating zone is to be fitted to the installation.
