REGULA
TIONS
2.2BUILDING REGULATIONS
2.3HOW THE APPLIANCE
WORKS
These regulations (byelaws in Scotland) ensure a good supply of
wholesome water, and that only approved materials, pipes and fittings are
used to convey water.
These are a statutory document and take priority over all other regulations
and recommendations. The installation of an unvented hot water storage
cylinder is classified as a “Controlled Service” and Regulation G3 applies.To
meet the requirements of the Regulation, installation of an unvented system
should be undertaken by a “competent installer”.
All installations of unvented hot water storage systems having a capacity of
more than 15 litres should be notified to the relevant Local Authority by
means of building notice or by the submission of full plans. It is important to
note that it is a criminal offense to install an unvented hot water storage
system without notifying the Local Authority. The installation of the unvented
cylinder and hot water system must comply with BS 6700 and the HSE
Legionella Code of Practice.
The immersion heater(s) are controlled through a thermostat which senses
the water temperature. The operating temperature can be pre-set by
adjusting the spindle in the head of the thermostat. In addition to the
thermostat there is a thermal cut-out incorporated if the thermostat fails and
the water temperature rises too high. Once the cut-out operates it can only
be re-set manually after the fault has been rectified.
Indirect models have dual thermal controls. In addition to the above there is
a separate cylinder thermostat and thermal cut-out for controlling the indirect
circuit. Again the thermal cut-out operates if the cylinder thermostat fails, by
disconnecting the live feed (call for hot water) from the programmer.
Classico (STD/STI) models have magnesium anodes provided to prevent
corrosion of the cylinder tank.
High Capacity (STD/STI) 500 litre models, Wall-hung (ST) units and the
All
Contract (STD/STI) Floor-standing models utilise the ProTech anti-corrosion
system (electronic anode).
The factory fitted temperature & pressure relief valve at the top of the
cylinder is a safety device to back-up the thermostat(s) and thermal cutout(s). It works by sensing an excess in water temperature or pressure and
releasing the hot water into a discharge tundish and drain.
The cylinder will only work in the vertical position. The inlet pipe needs to
deliver cold water to the bottom of the tank. When water is heated it
expands. To accommodate this increase in volume an expansion vessel is
provided. A cold water combination valve is also provided in two pieces,
loose jointed for ease of installation. These comprise a combined line
strainer/pressure reducing valve and core non-return valve/expansion relief
valve.
The strainer prevents any debris entering the other controls. The pressure
reducer ensures the correct operation of the expansion vessel, and prevents
any damage to the control valves through too great a pressure.
The non-return valve ensures the water expansion is forced into the

the unit or alter
natively it may be installed in a remote position from
the unit as there is no requirement to site it in close proximity to the
cylinder. This allows a flexible and convenient installation. However, it
is important to note allowances for the discharge pipe work from the
e
xpansion relief valve must be accounted for.
A balancing port is supplied on the 22mm valves (for units above 50
litres) and 28mm valves (for 500 litres units) allowing balanced cold
water supply to the rest of the building giving constant results for
mixer and shower valves. If the facility is not needed a plug is
supplied. Refer to
FIG. 2.7 and FIG. 2.8
Although this facility is not built into the 15mm valve (supplied with

NOTE: an extra expansion vessel may be required where the additional
volume of the secondary return exceeds the capacity of the expansion

NOTE!
THE SAFETY RELIEF VALVES MUST NOT BE USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE
1) The tundish must be vertical and fitted within 500mm of the temperature
& pressure relief valve and must be located with the cylinder. The tundish
must also be in a position visible to the occupants, and positioned away
from any electrical devices. The discharge pipe from the tundish should
terminate in a safe place where there is no risk to persons in the vicinity
of the discharge and to be of metal.
2) Discharge pipes from the temperature & pressure relief and expansion
relief valve may be joined together.
3) The pipe diameter must be at least one pipe size larger than the nominal
outlet size of the safety device unless it's total equivalent hydraulic
resistance exceeds that of a straight pipe 9m long.
I.e. Discharge pipes between 9m and 18m equivalent resistance length
should be at least 2 sizes larger than the nominal outlet size of the safety
device. Between 18m and 27m at least 3 larger, and so on.
Bends must be taken into account in calculating the flow resistance.
See
ust be fitted to prevent back flow and a bronze pump will be
mostat to circulate the hot water (both
FIG. 2.9 and TABLE 2.
4) The discharge pipe must have a vertical section of pipe at least 300mm
in length, below the tundish before any elbows or bends in the pipework.
The discharge pipe must be installed with a continuous fall.
5)
6) The discharge must be visible at both the tundish and the final point of
discharge, but where this is not possible or practically difficult; there
should be clear visibility at one or other of these locations. Examples of
acceptance are:
i)Ideally below a fixed grating and above the water seal in a trapped
gully.
ii) Downward discharges at a low level; i.e. up to 100mm above
external surfaces such as car parks, hard standings, grassed
areas etc. These are acceptable providing that where children
may play or otherwise come into contact with discharges, a wire
cage or similar guard is positioned to prevent contact, whilst
maintaining visibility.

High Capacity 500 litre models consult
the wiring diagram on the reverse of the inspection panel.
For indirect controls a 240V, 3 amp supply is required.
On floor standing models it is necessary to fit the thermostat using P.T.F.E
tape (Please consult the label on the f
ace of the unit for the correct location
in both cases).
The cables must be clamped in position (as previously stated) and the
control thermostat should be set at 60°C for the reasons above. In addition
to the thermostat there is a thermal cut-out should the thermostat fail. Refer
to
FIG. 2.14.
The indirect coil must not be connected to an uncontrolled heat source e.g.
solid fuel and must be connected to a thermostatically controlled appliance.

4.6MAINTENANCE
Ensure that all thermostats adjusted for the correct temperature setting, this
should be between 60 and 65°C.
To ensure efficient safe operation, it is recommended that the appliance is
serviced annually by a competent person.
After servicing, preliminary electrical system checks must be carried out to
ensure electrical safety (i.e. polarity, earth continuity, resistance to earth and
short circuit).
To drain the cylinder it is necessary to proceed as follows:
1) Close the mains supply service valve;
2) Open hot water taps;
3) Attach a hose and open the drain cock and allow the cylinder to empty.
Magneisum Anodes (Classico model only)
No longer than every 12 months, the installer should check the magnesium
anti-corrosion anodes (consult the label on the face of the unit for the correct
location). Assessment of the condition of the bottom anode (where fitted)
can be made by judging the condition of the top anode.
