b) have a vertical section of pipe at least 300mm long, below the tundish before any elbows or
bends in the pipework
c) be installed with a continuous fall.
d) have discharges visible at both the tundish and the final point of discharge but where this is
not possible or is practically difficult there should be clear visibility at one or other of these
locations. Examples of acceptable discharge arrangements are;
i) ideally below a fixed grating and above the water seal in a trapped gully.
ii) Downward discharges at low level; i.e.up to 100mm above external surfaces such as car
parks, hard standings,grassed area etc. 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.
iii) Discharges at high level; e.g.into a metal hopper and metal down pipe with the end of the
discharge clearly visible (tundish visible or not) or onto a roof capable of withstanding high
temperature discharges of water 3m from any plastics guttering system that would collect
such discharges (tundish visible)
iv) Where a single pipe serves a number of discharges, such as in blocks of flats, the number
served should be limited to not more than 6 systems so that and installation discharging can
be traced reasonable easily.The single common discharge pipe should be at least on pipe size
larger than the largest individual discharge pipe D2 to be connected. If unvented hot water
storage systems are installed where discharges from safety devices may not be apparent i.e.
in dwellings occupied by blind, infirm or disabled people, consideration should be given to
the installation of an electronically operated device to warn when discharge takes place.
7. Flushing and Commissioning
- Ensure all pipe connections are tight, including immersion heater(s).
- Check the immersion heater setting is not above 60C and that the live and neutral
connections are correct.
- Open a hot tap farthest from the unit. Open the mains stop cock to fill the unit.
- Flush for three minutes.
- Close off taps and check pipework for leaks.
- Switch on electricity to the immersion heater(s) or switch on the boiler. Refer to boiler
manufacturer s instructions or commissioning.
- Bring the unit to approx 65C. Check that water does not discharge via the Tundish pipework
during heating.
Note: The discharge will consist of scalding water and steam. Asphalt, roofing felt and nonmetallic rainwater goods may
be damaged by such discharges.

Electrical Specification and Wiring ( Thermostat Control)
- The cylinder control thermostat is mounted at the top of the unit in a housing with cable
entry point.
- The unit houses two thermostats, a control thermostat and an overheat thermostat.
Operation of either thermostat must cease the supply of heat to the cylinder.
- Remove the thermostat housing cover.Wire the two thermostats inside in series to the hot
water control valve as shown below. Electrical Specification and Wiring (Thermostat Control)
for additional heat source refer to the suppliers manual. However, the manual reset limit ther
mostat should be used to isolate any further supply of heat to the q-Spa.
9. Secondary Circulation
- A pump is required together with a non-return valve.
- The pump should be fitted with isolating valves on either side and sited to minimise air
accumulation away from the high point of the circuit. An air bleed valve may be located at
the high point.
8. Electrical Specification & Wiring (Immersion Heater)
- Element terminals are marked N(Neutral) and L(Live)
- Ensure earth connection of 3 wire supply is connected to earth.
- Recommended supply for 3kW element is 2.5mm cable to BS6141
- A 16 Amp timer is recommended for 3kW elements
- The unit is not fitted with a fuse.
- All heating elements operate on a 230 VAC 50Hz mains supply.Do not fit immersion
heater(s) without thermal cut-out(s).
FUSE RATING:
The fuse rating for two 3kW immersion heaters wired separately from the main fuseboard should be 15
Amps.
