5.8 Connection
Secondary Return
A secondary return port is installed on
the 210, 250 and 300L cylinders. For
cylinders that do not have a dedicated
secondary return connection, it is
possible to install a secondary return
by connecting a swept - T to the cold
water inlet of the cylinder.
The secondary return pipe should
incorporate a check valve and a WRAS
approved circulation pump; timer and
thermostat to be provided separately.
Where secondary return circuits are
used, then an additional expansion
vessel may be required.
If the secondary return is not used it
should be blanked with a ½" bung.
