APPLICATIONS OF
THE BRITONY FLEXIFLUE
The appliance is designed to serve a variety of hot water
draw off points including washing machines and showers.
The appliance can be connected to all hot water draw-off
points in the installation. If more than one outlet is open
simultaneously the total flow of water cannot exceed
that quoted in the Technical Data.
The appliance is comptatible with most current automatic
washing machines but care should be taken to ensure
that the machine is capable of accepting water at the de-
sign flow of the appliance. Hot and cold fill machines nor-
mally require a hot water temperature of 60 “C (140 “F),
the appliance producing approximately 6.5 I/min
(1.44gpm) at this temperature. The advice of the was-
hing machine manufacturers should be sought but gene-
rally it is only necessary to remove the water flow restric-
tor (if fitted) in the hot water inlet connection of the ma-
chine to obtain a satisfactory appliance operation.
4.1
Pipework
Do not use the appliance with push on hand showers that
fit over existing hot and cold water taps or with mixer
taps unless both supplies come from the same source.
Showers forming part of bath mixers are not recommen-
ded for satisfactory operation of the appliance.
The following notes are for general guidance only.
0) The appliance performance may be affected if the
installation has old pipework forming dead-legs or air
reservoirs. Always ensure that any old pipework is ei-
ther removed or capped off immediately adjacent to
the pipework that will be in use.
(ii) The size of the pipework between the appliance and the
various draw-off points should be sized to ensure an ade-
quate flow at all draw-off points when used individually.
(iii) A check should be made of all stop cocks in the inco-
ming supply and it should be ensured that they are of
the fixed jumper pattern. Loose jumpers can be pin-
ned or soldered into position.

HOT WATER
COLD WATER
HOT
The appliance can be used to supply hot water to a
separate shower draw-off, The appliance should not be
used to supply more than one shower mixing valve. The
recommended pipework arrangement for a single shower
head is shown above and the hot supply to the mixing valve
should be the first draw off. Suitable shower mixing valves
are manufactured by :

(iiii) If the appliance is installed on a supply or distribution
pipe containing a non-return valve, combinations of check
valve, or any equipment containing such devices, then
provision must be hade to accomodate an expansion of at
least 4 % of the volume of water contained within the
installation.
(V) Expansion vessels must be fitted on the supply pipe
