7 Installation requirements 7.4 Pipework – Primary Circuit The primary circuit pipework between the Vaillant boiler and the VANTAGE should be installed using copper tube of minimum size 22 mm. If the distance between the boiler and the cylinder is excessive, a larger pipe diameter may be necessary.
= 4.0 m Resistance of discharge pipe = 7.0 m Total Resistance = 11.0 m The total resistance of the dischargepipework is less than the maximumallowed for 28 mm pipework (18 m) therefore the discharge pipework size is acceptable. Vaillant Vantage 120/150/200...

• Reset the manual operating lever on the 3 port valve to the ”AUTO” position once the system has been refilled and vented. 9.3 Operating the Vaillant Boiler • Ensure the boiler mains switch is turned on. • Ensure that the programmer and thermostats are cal- ling for heat.
Advise the user that the immersion heater is provided as a back up means of water heating and is not intended for use at the same time that the Vaillant boiler is hea- ting the cylinder. Finally, advise the user that for continued efficient and...
Maintenance 10 10 Maintenance The following maintenance work has to be carried out annually by the competent installer or Vaillant Service Solutions. • Inspection of pressure/temperature relief valve and expansion relief valve. Manually operate each valve by twisting the operating cap, and check if water flows unobstructed via the tun- dish to the discharge point.
