domestic hot water cylinders are unvented,

indirectly heated domestic hot water cylinders designed for use

with gas-fired boilers as per GB standards for hot water supply

systems. The cylinders work with the pressure of the water supply

line and do not need a cold water tank for their supply.

They are used only to supply potable water heated up to 80°C

in solar systems with a collector array. They may only be used

for this purpose. The cylinders can be used in combination

with a downstream gas-fired boiler for hot water generation in

accordance with GB standards.

Any other use or extended use is considered to be improper.

Improper use of any kind is prohibited.

The manufacturer/supplier is not liable for any damage resulting

from improper use. The user alone bears the risk. Intended use

also includes observing the operating and installation manuals

and all other applicable documents, as well as complying with the

inspection and maintenance conditions.

At the end of this manual there is a commissioning report which

you must fill in and hand over to the operator. All installers

should have a current ID card and registration number. The

cylinder must be installed by a competent person approved at

the time by the Health and safety Executive to the prevailing

standards, installation book and building regulations at the time

of installation.
