WATER SYSTEMS & PIPEWORK
PRIMARY SYSTEM PLASTIC PIPEWORK:
• Any plastic pipework must have a polymeric
barrier with 600mm (minimum) length of
copper connected to the boiler.
• Plastic pipework used for underfloor
heating must be correctly controlled with
a thermostatic blending valve limiting the
temperature of the circuits to approx. 50°C.
The pipework from the boiler to the
blending valve must be in copper.
PRIMARY
SYSTEM/CONNECTIONS/VALVES:
• Do not use galvanised pipes or radiators.
• All system connections, taps and mixing
valves must be capable of sustaining a
pressure of 3 bar.
• Radiator valves should conform to
BS2767:10.
• All other valves should conform to BS1010.
• On new installations TRV's must be used
on all radiators except the radiator where
the room thermostat is sited, this must be
fitted with lockshield valves and left open.
All installations should have TRV's fitted
to radiators within the sleeping
accommodation.
• Drain cocks are required at all the lowest
points on the system.
• Air vents are required at all high points on
the system.
SEALED PRIMARY SYSTEM:
• Where the system volume is more than
L
100 litres or exceeds 2.5bar at maximum
heating temperature an extra expansion
vessel (B) must be fitted as close as
possible to the appliance in the central
heating return.
• Pressurise the extra expansion vessel (B)
to the same figure as the expansion vessel
L
built into the appliance - REFER TO
TECHNICAL DATA TABLE.
NOTICE:
D
It is advisable to install an automatic
by-pass (C) externally to the boiler,
between the heating flow and return pipe
work, to accept any excess pressure and
flow from the circulating pump.
This is particularly relevant when the
heating system load reduces due to TRVs
etc.
This will also enable the installation to
comply with the building regulations and
the Domestic Heating Compliance guide
requirements.
