4.9 (c) DHW CONNECTIONS, DESIGN & REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION: This boiler incorporates a 50 litre unvented hot water cylinder. Installation of this appliance must be
carried out by a Competent Person and in accordance with the relevant regulations.
In every installation it is mandatory for the Group combination valve to be installed on the mains cold water supply to the
boiler. This will protect the boiler and prevent constant opening of the 7 bar relief valve (The Group combination valve is
comprised of a pressure reducing valve, a pressure relief valve, a check valve, a filter and a balanced cold water outlet all
included in a single valve. These inlet control groups are designed to control the pressure on the mains supply to the integral
unvented hot water cylinder).
The installation of the thermostatic blending valve (not supplied) is recommended, as per the diagram shown in 4.7 to ensure
a safe and economic supply of hot water.

Technical/user product literature
In any situation where the volume of heated pipework (eg. secondary circulation pipes or manifold pipework
for multiple units) exceeds 10 litres, then an additional expansion vessel must be fitted to accommodate the
extra expansion volume.
CAUTION: Modifications should not be made to this product. Replacement parts, including immersion heaters,
should be purchased from Elnur UK Limited, or agents approved by them.
Unvented hot water storage vessels need regular routine checks, and these are detailed below. It is for this reason that this
manual must always be left with the Gabarrón Mattira combi boiler.
It is essential that these checks be carried out at the time of boiler maintenance by a qualified installer:
1. Manually open the relief valves in turn, and check that water is discharged from the valves and runs freely through the
tundish and out at the discharge point. Ensure that the valves re-seat satisfactorily. (Note
–
the water may be very hot).
2. It is important to check that the discharge pipework is carrying the water away adequately. Check for blockages etc. if it is
not.
3. Turn the mains water off and remove and clean the strainer element in the Pressure Reducing Valve.
4. Check the charge pressure in the expansion vessel and repressurise if required.
5. Re-fill the system and ensure that all relief valves have re-seated.
6. The Service Record should be updated at each service.
