public access.
Air Release Points:
These must be fitted at all high points where air naturally collects and must
be sited to facilitate complete filling of the system.
The appliance has an integral sealed expansion vessel to accommodate the
increase of water value when the system is heated.
It can accept up to 7 l (1.5 gal) of expansion water. If the heating circuit has
an unusually high water content, calculate the total expansion and add an
additional sealed expansion vessel with adequate capacity.
Mains Water Feed - Central Heating:
There must be no direct connection to the mains water supply even through a
non-return valve, without the approval of the Local Water Authority.
Filling:
A temporary method for initially filling the system and replacing lost water
during servicing in accordance with Water Supply Byelaw 14 must be
provided.
Domestic Water
The domestic water must be in accordance with the relevant recommendation
of BS 5546:1990. Copper tubing to BS EN 1057:1996 is recommended for
water carrying pipe work and must be used for pipe work carrying drinking
water.
2.9 Flue Connections
Flue System
The provision for satisfactory flue termination must be made as described
in BS 5440-1.
The appliance must be installed so that the flue terminal is exposed to outdoor air.
The terminal must not discharge into another room or space such as an
outhouse or lean-to.
It is important that the position of the terminal allows a free passage of air
across it at all times.
The terminal should be located with due regard for the damage or
discolouration that might occur on buildings in the vicinity.
In cold or humid weather water vapour may condense on leaving the flue
terminal.
The effect of such "steaming" must be considered.
If the terminal is less than 2 metres above a balcony, above ground or above a
flat roof to which people have access, then a suitable terminal guard must be
fitted. When ordering a terminal guard, quote the appliance model number.
A suitable terminal guard is available from:
