Please alsomake sure that any installation complieswith the instructions contained in thisinstallation instruction manual.

1.2 Location (All models)The unit is designed to be floorstanding, vertically mounted, indoors, in a frost-free environment. Whenchoosing a suitable location for thecylinder, consideration should be givento the routing of the discharge pipe to aconvenient point and also the availabilityof an adequate power supply forconnecting the immersion heater.

The cylinder may stand on any flat andlevel surface without any specialfoundation preparations, provided that it is sufficiently robust to support the fullweight of the cylinder. (Refer toTechnical specifications for weights).

The position of the cylinder should besuch that easy access is provided forservicing the controls and replacing theimmersion heater should the need arise.

Generally, pipe runs should be made asshort as possible and lagged to preventheat loss.

1.3 Storage and Handling If the cylinder is not being installedimmediately, it should remain in itscarton to prevent damage. Werecommend that the cylinder betransported to its installation position on a sack truck or similar whilst stillwithin the carton.

1.4 About Your New Cylinder The Triple Coil cylinder has three coilsfor connection to Primary heat sourcesand is available as an Open Vented hotwater system application.

This versions is supplied fitted with asingle 3kW electric immersion heater.

Refer to page 10 for further details onimmersion heater.

The central heating primary from a‘conventional’ boiler should beconnected to the top righthand 28mmcoil, via the compression connectionsprovided. The bottom coil should beused for the Solar Thermal. A Solid Fuelappliance should be connected to theleft hand coil, via the 28mmcompression connections provided.Please refer to the appliancemanufacturers installation instructionsfor more information.

1.5 Open Vented Hot WaterSystemsThe cylinder is used as part of an OpenVented hot water system, i.e. fed from acold water storage cistern and fittedwith an open vent pipe. The maximumhead must not exceed 20m.

On no account should any type of valvebe fitted where it would shut off theboiler from any means of expansion forthe system.

Note: The Temperature and Pressurerelief (T&P) valve should be leftconnected to the cylinder (as supplied).As it may still operate due totemperature it should be connected inthe correct manner – refer to guidancegiven in Section 4 of these Instructions.

3.3 Auxiliary PrimaryConnectionsSolar Heating

The Solar flow and return connectionsshould be made to the bottom 28mmcoil connections. Refer to Figure 5-8.

Other Heat Sources

A third primary heat source should beconnected to the left-hand coil usingthe 28mm compression connections.Please refer to the installation manualfor that appliance.

3.4 Hard Water Areas If the cylinder is to be used in a hardwater area, we recommend that theprimary flow temperature be limited to75˚ C. This will help reduce themigration of suspended solids in thewater and help prevent the build up oflime scale.

3.1 Grant Triple Coil CylindersGrant Triple Coil cylinders are suitablefor connecting to most fully pumpeddomestic gas or oil fired central heatingboilers working on an open vented orsealed system having a maximumworking pressure of 3 bar and amaximum working temperature of 90˚C. If you are in any doubt concerningthe suitability of the boiler, consult theboiler manufacturer.

3.2 Boiler Primary ConnectionsCentral Heating

1. The boiler primary flow and returnconnections should be made to thetop right-hand coil connections. Theprimary flow and return fittings are28mm compression. The pressurereducing valve has 22mmcompression connections.

2. Locate the dual thermostat in thepocket (refer to Figure 2-2 forlocation) and secure using theretaining screws on the thermostathousing.

3. Any automatic or manual air ventfitted to vent air from the upper coilshould be installed on the primaryflow pipe to the coil.

4.3 Worked ExampleThe example below is for a 1/2”diametertemperature relief valve with adischarge pipe (D2) having 4 elbowsand a length of 7 m from the tundish tothe point of discharge.

FromMaximum resistance allowed for astraight length of Ø22mm copperdischarge pipe (D2) from a 1/2” diametertemperature relief valve is - 9.0m.

Subtract the resistance for quantity of 4Ø22mm elbows at 0.8m each = 3.2m.Therefore, the maximum permittedlength equates to 5.8m.

5.8m is less than the actual length of7m; therefore calculate the next largestsize.

Maximum resistance allowed for astraight length of Ø28mm-pipe (D2)from a 1/2” diameter temperature reliefvalve equates to - 18m.

Subtract the resistance for a quantity of4 Ø28mm elbows at 1.0 each = 4m.

Therefore the maximum permittedlength equates to 14m.

As the actual length is 7m, a Ø28mmdiameter copper pipe will besatisfactory.

7.1 Servicing and Maintenance1. Servicing and maintenance must

only be carried out by a competentinstaller, or by Grant Engineering(IRL) Ltd authorised personnel.

2. Before any work whatsoever iscarried out on the installation, itMUST first be isolated from themain’s electricity supply.

Both the primary and secondarysystems will contain very hot waterthat will scald; therefore care shouldbe taken when opening any joints,seals or valves.

3. Only use spare parts authorised byGrant Engineering (IRL) Ltd. Theuse of unauthorised spare parts willinvalidate the warranty.

4. Drain the cylinder – When drainingthe cylinder, always switch off theboiler and the immersion heaterfirst. Turn off the water supply at themains stopcock.

Connect a hose pipe to the draincock (see Figure 2-2) and route it to aconvenient gully. Open the drain cockand all hot taps that are served by thecylinder. The cylinder may takeseveral minutes to empty completely.

5. In hard water areas it may benecessary from time to time toremove and de-scale the immersionheater element. Replace the gasketeach time it is removed.

! WARNING

6. Whilst the hose pipe is connected, thedrain cock open and with theimmersion heater removed, thecylinder may be flushed out to removeany debris, sand or lime scale particlesthat may have collected in the bottomby using a further hose pipeconnected to the cold water main.

7. Close the drain cock, disconnectthe hose, refit the immersion heaterand close all hot water taps beforereopening the stopcock. Allow thecylinder time to fill whilst checkingfor any leaks. Release any air fromthe system by opening each hotwater tap individually, starting withthe one furthest from the cylinder.

8. Manually lift the expansion relief andtemperature, every 12 months(more frequently in hard waterareas) to prevent debris frombuilding up behind the valve seat.Whilst carrying out this operation,check that the discharge to wasteis unobstructed. Check that eachvalve seals correctly when released.As the valves are pre-calibrated,they require no further maintenance.

9. Finally switch on the mainselectricity supply to the immersionheater and the boiler. As the systemheats up, check again for any leaksand rectify as necessary.
