3.5. Location
The unit is designed to be vertically wall mounted, indoors, in
a frost-free environment. When choosing a suitable location for
the cylinder, consideration should be given to the routing of the
discharge pipe to a convenient point and also the availability of
an adequate power supply for connecting the sheathed heating
elements.
The wall onto which the cylinder is mounted should be of good
sound masonry construction capable of holding the weight of the
cylinder when full of water (see
technical specifications
for weights).
The position of the cylinder should be such that easy access is
provided for servicing the controls and replacing the sheathed
heating element should the need arise.
Pipe runs should be made as short as possible and lagged to
prevent heat loss.
To allow for servicing and repairs the unit must be mounted at
least 540 mm above any surface or object, so that access can be
gained to electric connectors and the heating elements may be
removed (see Fig. 1).
The unit should be mounted close to an external wall so that the
discharge pipe D2 (Fig. 2 - Pt. 6) can be routed to a safe visible
place.
The tundish should be mounted in a visible location so that it may
easily be inspected.
