1 Temperature and pres-

valve

2 Tundish

The drain connections of the temperature and pressure re-

lief valve and the expansion relief valve must be connected

to the supplied tundish via 15-mm-thick copper pipes. The

tundish must be installed vertically, as close to the cylinder

as possible and with a maximum clearance of 600 mm from

the connection of the temperature and pressure relief valve.

It must be installed in the same room as the cylinder, but at

a sufficient distance from electrical components. The drain

pipes from the temperature and pressure relief valve and

from the expansion relief valve can be connected above the

tundish using a T-piece. The drain pipe from the 22 mm con-

nection of the tundish must consist of copper pipes with a

diameter of at least 22 mm and be connected to a safe and

visible drainage point. The vertical section of pipe beneath

the tundish must be at least 300 mm long before any bends

or diversions in the line. If the total resistance of the drain

pipework exceeds the values in the following table, you must

increase the diameter of the pipework. When installing the

drain pipework, comply with the standards, directives and

laws that are applicable in your country.

Sample calculation

The following example corresponds to a temperature and

pressure relief valve G1/2 with a drain pipe (D2) with four 22

mm elbows and a length of 7 m from the tundish to the drain-

age point. According to the table, the maximum permiss-

ible resistance for a straight length of a 22-mm-thick cop-

per discharge pipe (D2) of a thermal expansion relief valve

G1/2 is 9.0 m. The resistance of the four 22 mm elbows,

which are each 0.8 m in length, must be subtracted from this,

i.e. a total of 3.2 m. The maximum permitted length is ac-

cordingly 5.8 m and is therefore below the current length of

7 m. The calculation must therefore be performed using the

second largest size. The maximum permissible resistance

for a straight length of a 28-mm-thick pipe (D2) of a thermal

expansion relief valve G1/2 is 18 m. The resistance of the

four 28 mm elbows, which are each 1.0 m in length, must be

subtracted from this, i.e. a total of 4.0 m. The maximum per-

mitted length is accordingly 14 m. As the current length is

7 m, a 28 mm copper pipe (D2) should be selected.

A suitable location for the discharge pipe terminal is, for

example, beneath a fixed mesh above the odour trap in a

soakaway with a siphon. Low drain pipework, for example

up to 100 mm above external surfaces (car parks, mead-

ows, etc.) can be used provided that it is protected by a wire

fence or something similar to prevent children from coming

into contact with the waste water and provided that the sys-

tem is not visible. Do not install any valves or stopcocks on

the drain pipework.

Make sure that the discharge pipe from the tundish to the

drain has a constant downward gradient of at least 1:200.

The discharge pipe for the heat generator expansion relief

valve can be connected to the horizontal discharge pipe for

the cylinder behind the tundish using a T-piece.

5.2.4.1 High-level drain

Installing the highest drain is permitted as long as this does

not present a danger to anyone in or outside the building at

the drain point. Examples of points to consider when decid-

ing whether a location is suitable for the highest drain:

–The possibility (taking the wind into account) that a per-

son might stay in the area where the water is drained

for a prolonged period of time, and, if this is the case,

whether the water is sufficiently cooled by that point to

pose no danger. The thermal conductivity of the material

surfaces, the climatic conditions, the installation location

and the drain pipework direction can, to different extents,

contribute to reducing the temperature of the water that is

being drained.

–The position of the windows and other openings.

–The probability of prams being under the drain opening.

–The resistance of the surface to hot water.

–The possibility of ice forming if water drains onto access

paths.

5.2.5 Installing the temperature sensor for the

immersion heater

Note

The temperature sensor is used to control the

immersion heater via a multi-functional module

or a control.

Validity: Except for VIH GB 120/3 BES

OR Except for VIH GB 150/3 BES

Condition: With a multi-functional module or control

▶Secure the temperature sensor.

Validity: VIH GB 120/3 BES

OR VIH GB 150/3 BES
