2.3 Hot water requirements
The stored hot water temperature must not
exceed 60ºC (see page 17, Stored hot water
temperature).
The hot water supply to the pump must be
via a Salamander approved method:
The best hot connection from the cylinder
is either
• A 3⁄4” NO STOP ESSEX FLANGE. See
Figure 3 or
• Alternatively a Salamander S flange or
other approved top entry flanges. See
page 15/16.

3. Anti-vibration couplers
(Hoses)
The anti-vibration (AV) couplers are designed
to limit the transfer of pump vibration to the
associated pipe work. All Salamander AV
couplers are ¾” BSP x 22mm push fit with
built-in isolating valves. Note: the RP50PT
and RP50PS are supplied with 15mm
couplers with isolating valves on the inlets
and outlets.

Figure 5: Couplers
Ideally the AV couplers should be straight,
but they must NOT be twisted or bent more
than 35º (this invalidates the warranty). See
Figure 5 above.
