domestic selection guide

These recommendations are based on the guidelines in BS 6700.
Guidance should be sought for unusual applications. Eg: High flow - rate showers, large baths etc.

The reheat performance is measured from 15°C to 60°C after drawing off 70% of the capacity. The coil kW rating is a guide to the minimum size of boiler required to achieve the reheat times stated. Faster reheat times are achieveable using twin - coil Tribunes. With both coils fed simultaneously, reheat times can be reduced to almost half. The boiler power required would double.

Specification

Inner Container Duplex 2304 stainless steel to EN 10088.4362.

Primary Coil 22mm diameter 36L stainless steel. Coil in coil design for improved performance. Entire cylinder contents are heated on indirect models. The primar y system must be fully pumped. The primar y circuit may be sealed (max. 7 bar).

Installation

Fixing The units must be fitted vertically.

Water Supply The unit must be used on an open vented system (ie. fed from a cold water tank and fitted with a vent pipe). The maximum working head is 40m.

Plumbing Connections Inlet / outlet - 22mm compression. Indirect coils - 22mm compression. Thermostat / Shower tapping - 1/2"F.

*NOTE Use D2R / Gunmetal compression fittings to make connections onto the 22mm stub pipes.

Do not use push - fit connectors.
