Try to keep pipe runs as short as possible for maximum economy, especially hot water discharge pipes running down from the Excelsior unit. The unit can be fitted into a conventional airing cupboard and does not require any additional insulation. - Page 12 Drain Tap A drain tap to drain the unit must be fitted to the cold-water inlet pipe between the Excelsior cylinder and the cold water valve assembly at its lowest level possible (see figures 2, 3 and 5).
- Page 13 This smaller tank is connected to the cold-water inlet side of the vessel. Mount the tank according to separate manufacturer’s instructions provided with the external expansion vessel. A suitable expansion vessel with a pre-charge pressure of 3.5 bar is supplied with Excelsior cylinders with external expansion.

Page 18: Tundish
If you need to site the Excelsior unit in the middle of the house your discharge pipe to the tundish can be as far away as 9m, which in most cases is enough to run the final discharge point. After 9m, increase the pipe size to a greater diameter than 22mm and accordingly for subsequent 9m lengths, (see table 1). -
