INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION
Installations should firstly conform to any relevant local requirements, NZ and or Australian plumbing standards. The valve train connects directly to the bottom of the cylinder via the cylinder isolation valve. Important tips;
· The manifold inlet and cold water expansion adaptors can be swapped left to right to provide either left or right hand entry to the manifold.
· The primary isolating valve provided can be located on the PRV as shown for ease of maintenance. · Use only synthetic thread seal or tape on any connections to the hot water cylinder.

Cold Supply

INLET MANIFOLD (LEFT OR RIGHT HAND ENTRY)
The Inlet Manifold provides a cold water expansion valve, a cylinder drain, a 20mm check valve non-return cold water entry, a cylinder isolator and a 20mm cold balanced tempering valve feed.
Inlet manifold features · The manifold inlet and cold water expansion adaptors can be swapped left to right to provide either left or right hand entry to the manifold. The adaptors use o-ring seals and so do not require thread tape or similar. · The cylinder inlet isolator also uses o-ring seals. The flow can be isolated using a spanner or similar to turn the hex shaped cap that drives the isolator spindle.
Cold water expansion valve function The cold water expansion valve will start to vent and then discharge at a pressure greater than 8 bar inside the cylinder. As the cylinder heats and its contents expand, the volume of discharged water could reach 3% of the cylinders total capacity during the process. For example a 180 litre cylinder could vent 5.4 litres when heated from cold. NOTE: The drain connection from the cold water expansion valve should only vent to atmosphere and not to upstream pressure. No air break is required unless the drain is over 10m in length.
To drain the hot water cylinder To drain the hot water cylinder, turn the expansion valve knob having previously closed the cold supply. Ensure a hot water tap is open to allow air into the system and prevent a vacuum being formed in the system.
