7.6 System Design Pressure. The maximum system design pres·
sure is 1.5
bar
(21.5lb
/in.
2
).
If
the
pressure is greater
than
2.6
bar
when
operating
at
maxi·
mum
system temperature, then
an
extra expansion vessel
must
be fitted
as
close as possible to
the
central heating return connec·
tion.
If
the
expansion
vessel
within
the
appliance
fails
it
must
be
replaced with
the
designated
spare
part. See Section 14.4
and
Se
ction 15.
7. 7 Filling. See
Fig
. 6. The
filling
point
must
be
at
low level.
7.8
Make· Up. See
Fig
. 6. Water lost from
the
system
must
be
replaced.
Refer
to
BS
7074, Part 1.
The
connection
must
be made
in
the
central heating return as close as possible to the appliance.
7.9
Venting. The
system
and
the
appliance
must
be
properly
vented. Repeated venting reduces the amount of water in the
sys·
tern. It is essential
that
this
water
is
replaced
and
the
system
pressure maintained. The reason f
or
the need to repeatedly vent
