  • Page 16: Installation

    IEE regulations and any Local Authority requirements. requirements Zip AquaFlo is capable of delivering over 50 litres per minute when connected to a suitable mains supply. The high quality inlet control set with its 0.3 MPa (3 bar) operating pressure has been designed to make the most of what is available, however the performance of any unvented system is only as good as the water supply.
  • Page 17: Installation Site

    InSTALLATIon SITE Zip AquaFlo can be positioned more or less anywhere in the building but it should be remembered that for every 1 meter that an outlet is above the AquaFlo, the pressure will be reduced by 0.01 MPa (0.1 bar). If siting outside the heated envelope of the dwelling such as in a garage or outbuilding then frost protection should be provided and exposed pipe work should be insulated.
  • Page 18 0.7 MPa (7 bar) if required. The boiler may be Gas, Electric, Oil etc but must be under effective thermostatic control. Zip AquaFlo is not intended for use with uncontrolled heat sources such as some AGA’s, back boilers, solid fuel stoves etc. The two port zone valve should be installed into the primary flow pipework leading to the coil flow inlet.
  • Page 19 The electrical supply to each immersion heater must be fused at 13A via a double pole isolating switch to BS 3456. The cable must be 2.5mm heat resistant (85°C HOFR) sheathed flex complying to BS 6141:1981. Do not operate the immersion heater/s until the unit is full of water. If any sterilisation liquid is in the cylinder do not operate the immersion heater/s as this will cause premature failure.
  • Page 20 Discharge arrangement General guidance is provide by the diagram on page 19, extracted from the G3 Building Regulation Guidance. This guidance is available as a free of charge download of the G3 Approved Document from www.planningportal.gov.uk. The discharge from both the Temperature relief and expansion relief valves can be joined together via a 15mm end feed Tee.
  • Page 21 • Where a single pipe serves a number of discharges, such as in blocks of flats, the number served should be limited to not more than six systems so that any installation can be traced reasonably easily. The single common discharge pipe should be at least one pipe size larger than the largest individual discharge pipe to be connected.
