3 Water Systems
Diagram 3.5
3.13 Domestic Hot Water Cylinder
SINGLE FEED INDIRECT CYLINDERS ARE NOT SUITABLE.
The domestic hot water cylinder must be of the indirect coil type.
It must be suitable for working at a gauge pressure of 0.35bar
above the safety valve setting.
3.14 Domestic Hot Water System - Unvented
Where a storage system will not have a vent to atmosphere the
installation must comply with Building Regulations and local
Water Company Bye-laws, see also the current issue of BS6700.
If fitting into an existing system the local authority must also be
advised.
3.15 Filling a Sealed Water System
Provision for filling the system at low level must be made. Three
methods are shown in diagram 3.5. There must be no permanent
connection to the mains water supply, even through a non-
return valve.
3.16 Water Makeup
Provision must be made for replacing water lost from the
system. A make up vessel mounted above the highest point of
the system and connected through a non-return valve to the
system on the return side of either the hot water cylinder or
heating system, see diagram 3.4.
Alternatively provision for make up can be made by a filling loop.
