Overflow And Drainage; Electricity Supply - Lincat EB3 Installation, User & Servicing Instructions

IS09 ECN2087
• Connection of the appliance to the water supply must also allow for reasonable service access
unless the appliance is situated in high-risk areas.

Overflow and Drainage

• The overflow from the tank is connected via a flexible tube to a vent port mounted internally
of the appliance.
• The primary function of this feature is to capture the small amounts of condensed steam
produced during normal operation of the appliance.
• In the unlikely event of an overflow occurrence the spillage tray has a limited capacity and
should not be deemed as a safeguard against overflow.
• As an option the flexible tube can be removed from the lower internal vent and redirected
through the base to a suitable drainage system.
• The drainage system to which the flexible tube is to be connected must have a continuous fall
and have a greater diameter than that of the flexible tube. Alternatively, the flexible tube can
be directed to a gully where no risk of contact with hot water by persons using the building
can be considered as a means of safe drainage.
• The flexible tube must not be connected directly to a soil system.
• The tube from the overflow must remain connected to the overflow on the tank.
• The overflow tube must never become blocked or restricted in any way.
