General Requirements
Important: Please read and understand this product guide before installing the MEGAFLO Eco water heater. Incorrect installation may invalidate

of knowledge and experience, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety. The MEGAFLO Eco must be Installed (Section 2), Commissioned (Section 2) and Maintained (Section 3) by a competent installer
in accordance with Building Regulation G3 (England and Wales), Technical Standard P3 (Scotland) or Building Regulation P5 (Northern Ireland) and
the Water Fitting Regulations (England and Wales) or Water Byelaws (Scotland).

Following installation and commissioning, the operation of the heater should be explained to the user (Section 4) and this product guide left with
them for future reference.
Storage and Handling
Please take care when handling a packaged MEGAFLO Eco. The unit is heavy and must only be moved manually within safe working practices. If
the unit is to be stored before installation, it must be placed on a secure, level surface and in a dry, frost free environment.
Siting the MEGAFLO Eco (see Figure 1 below)
The MECAFLO Eco unit must be vertically floor mounted. It can be placed anywhere convenient provided the discharge pipe(s) from its safety
valves can be correctly installed. Areas that are subject to freezing must be avoided. Ensure that the floor is of sufficient strength to support the
“full” weight of the unit (refer to Tables 3 and 4 on page 9 for unit weights). Pipe runs should be kept as short as possible for maximum economy.
Access to associated controls, immersion heaters and indirect controls should be possible for servicing and maintenance of the system.
Please do not install valves or pipework (except discharge pipe) within 50mm (2”) of the T&P relief valve to allow your insulation set to be fitted.
The insulation set is important to ensure heat and energy conservation. See page 16 for more information.
To aid installation, the MEGAFLO Eco is provided with lifting points located in the base moulding and a lifting handle. The lifting handle should
be fully threaded onto the outlet boss before use. Once the MEGAFLO Eco is suitably positioned the lifting handle should be removed to allow
connection of the outlet pipework. The weights of the units are noted in the Tables 3 and 4, (p.9).
