General
Pipe installation must be carried out in accordance with
current norms and directives.
F2040 can only operate up to a return temperature of
about 55 °C and an outgoing temperature of about
58 °C from the heat pump.
F2040 is not equipped with external shut off valves on
the water side; these must be installed to facilitate any
future servicing. The return temperature is limited by
the return line sensor.
Water volumes
When docking with F2040 free flow in the climate
system is recommended for correct heat transfer. This
can be achieved by use of a bypass valve. If free flow
cannot be ensured, it is recommended that a buffer
tank (NIBE UKV) is installed.
Following water volumes are recommended
-16-12-8F2040
150 l80 l50 lMinimum volume, climate sys-
tem during heating/cooling
150 l100 l80 lMinimum volume, climate sys-
tem during under floor cooling
NOTE
The pipe work must be flushed before the heat
pump is connected, so that any contaminants
do not damage the components.

■
F2040 can be connected directly to the heating sys-
tem see the section "Docking" or according to one
of the system solutions that can be downloaded from
the website www.nibe.eu.
■
The heat pump must be vented by the upper connec-
tion (QM20) using the venting nipple on the enclosed
flexible hose.
■
Install the supplied particle filter (HQ1) before the
inlet, i.e. the connection (XL2, HM-in) on F2040.
■
All outdoor pipes must be thermally insulated with
at least 19mm thick pipe insulation.
■
Install shutoff valves (QM31 and QM32) and drain
valves (QM1) so that F2040 can be emptied in the
event of prolonged power failures. Shutoff - (QM31
and QM32) and drain valve (QM31) are not part of
the delivery
