8.19 C.H. EXPANSION VESSEL
In the unlikely event of failure of the expansion vessel diaph-
ragm it is acceptable to leave the vessel in position and to fit
a replacement vessel (of similar or greater capacity) external
to the appliance but as close as possible to the C.H. return.
Alternatively the vessel can be replaced as follows. Note
replacement is not recommended if a rear flue outlet is used
or if the clearance above the casing is less than 300 mm.
– Remove the outer casing as described in section 5.1.
– Isolate the C.H. flow and return valves (21 fig. 2), and
drain the appliance through the drain plug situated
below the pump
– Unscrew the expansion vessel pipe union at it’s connec-
tion with the D.H.W. heat exchanger.
– Remove the screw securing the expansion vessel bracket
at the top, rear of the appliance.
– If a rear flue outlet is used it is necessary to disengage
the flue and air duct temporarily. Refer to section 3.5.
– Remove the adjusting screws (5 fig. 7) on the wall
mounting bracket thereby allowing the appliance to
move slightly forwards at the top.
– Lift the expansion vessel, bracket, and pipe out of the
appliance through the top.
– Transfer the bracket and pipe to the new expansion ves-
sel, and re-assemble in reverse order. Re-pressurise and
re-commission the system as described in section 4.1.
