4.4 Water systems and pipework
Primary system plastic pipework:
• Any plastic pipework used for the CH system must have a polymeric
barrier, complying with BS 7921 and installed to BS 5955 with
1000mm (minimum) length of copper or steel pipe connected to the
boiler.
• Plastic pipework used for underfloor heating must be correctly
controlled with a thermostatic blending valve limiting the
temperature of the circuits to approximately 50°C with 1000mm
(minimum) length of copper or steel pipe connected to the boiler,
and a 20K differential must be maintained at the appliance.
Primary system/connections/valves:
• Do not use galvanised pipes or radiators.
• All system connections, taps and mixing valves must be capable of
sustaining a pressure of 3 bar.
• Radiator valves should conform to BS 2767:10.
• All other valves should conform to BS 1010.
• An automatic bypass valve must be connected between the heating
flow and return where TRVs are used on all radiators, fitted to give at
least a 3 metre circuit when activated.
• Drain cocks are required at all the lowest points on the system.
• Air vents are required at all high points on the system.
Open vent primary system (Regular only)
• The open vent pipe (F) and feed and expansion pipe (H) must rise
continuously from the appliance.
• The feed and expansion cistern (E) must be positioned to provide a
static head (S) of at least 1 metre above the highest point in the
heating system to the water level in the feed and expansion cistern.
• Ensure adequate space is left in the expansion cistern for expansion
of the system water.
• No valve shall be fitted in the open vent pipe (F) or the feed and
expansion pipe (H).
• The open vent pipe (F) must be at least 22mmØ.

NOTICE:
▶ The boiler should not be allowed to operate with a
return temperature of less than 30°C when the
system is up to operating temperature.
