DESIGN BoilerMate products are vented cylinders, so there is no requirement for a pressure and temperature relief valve to be fitted to them. This is a key benefit of a thermal store over an unvented cylinder. This enables greater flexibility of location in the building, as there is no requirement to install discharge pipework with a constant fall to an outside wall, or upgrade the soil and vent pipework to be able to withstand high temperature discharges.

INSTALLATION Automatic Bypass Valve Some low water content boilers require greater flow rates than the heating load of the property requires. Please check your boiler manufacturer’s instructions for requirements. The system bypass will enable this minimum flow rate to be achieved. The 22mm straight bypass fitted to the SP-PP version has a maximum rating of 30kW.

COMMISSIONING Commissioning and installation checks Open the incoming stop valve and fill the domestic mains cold and hot water systems, the BoilerMate appliance and central heating system. Check the whole of the domestic hot and cold distribution systems for leaks, and repair if necessary. Central heating systems should be thoroughly cleaned and flushed out before installing a new boiler.
Page 36
COMMISSIONING Important Do’s and Don’ts 1. DO check the incoming mains water pressure. The preferred range of mains pressure is 2 -3 bar. 2. DO check the flow rate of the incoming cold water main is adequate to meet the maximum hot and cold water simultaneous demands.
Free of charge replacements for any faulty components are available from Gledhill during the in-warranty period on return of the faulty part (normally 12 months). After this, spares can be obtained direct from Gledhill Spares or through any of the larger plumbers merchants/specialist heating spares suppliers.
