Installation and Servicing
SECTION 1 - GENERAL
General
1. The installation must comply with all relevant national and local
regulations.
2. The installation should be designed to work with flow
temperatures of up to 86
o
C.
3. All components of the system must be suitable for a working
pressure of 3 bar and a maximum design temperature of 110
o
C.
Extra care should be taken in making all connections so that the
risk of leakage is minimised.
The following components are incorporated within the appliance:
a. Circulating pump.
b. Safety valve, with a non-adjustable preset lift pressure of 3
bar.
c. Pressure gauge, covering a range of 0 to 4 bar.
d. An 8-litre expansion vessel, with an initial charge pressure
of 0.75 bar.
4. ‘Make-up’ Water. Provision must be made for replacing water
loss from the system, either :
a. From a manually lled ‘make-up’ vessel with a readily visible
water level. The vessel should be mounted at least 150mm
above the highest point of the system and be connected
through a non-return valve to the system, tted at least
150mm below the ‘make-up’ vessel on the return side of
the radiators. or
b. Where access to a ‘make-up’ vessel would be difcult, by
pre-pressurisation of the system.
The maximum cold water capacity of the system should
not exceed 143 litres, if not pressurized. However, if
the system is to be pressurized, the efciency of the
expansion vessel will be reduced and a larger vessel
(or smaller system volume) may be necessary. If the
capacity of the vessel is not considered sufcient for this,
or for any other reason, an additional vessel MUST be
installed on the return to the boiler.
Guidance on vessel sizing is given in the above table.
Notes
a. The method of lling, relling, topping up or ushing sealed
primary hot water circuits from the mains via a temporary hose
connection is only allowed if acceptable to the local water
authority.
b. Antifreeze uid, corrosion and scale inhibitor uids suitable for
use with boilers having aluminium heat exchangers may be used
in the central heating system.

5. Filling
The system may be lled by the following method:
Where the mains pressure is excessive a pressure
reducing valve must be used to facilitate lling.
a. Thoroughly ush out the whole system with cold
water.
b. Fill and vent the system until the pressure gauge
registers 1bar and examine for leaks. Refer to
Section 2.15 for lling detail.
c. Check the operation of the safety valve by raising the
water pressure until the valve lifts. This should occur
within 0.3bar of the preset lift pressure.
d. Release water from the system until the
minimum system design pressure is reached;
1.0 bar if the system is to be pre-pressurised.
