d) It is preferable for the discharge to be visible at both the tundish and the fi nal point

of discharge but where this is not possible or practically diffi

cult there should be

clear visibility at one or other of these locations. Examples of acceptable discharge
arrangements are:

1. Ideally below the fi xed grating and above the water seal in a trapped gulley.

2. Downward discharges at a low level; i.e. up to 100mm above external surfaces

such as car parks, hard standings, grassed areas etc are acceptable providing
that where children play or otherwise come into contact with discharges, a
wire cage or similar guard is positioned to prevent contact whilst maintaining
visibility.

3. Discharges at a high level; e.g. into metal hopper and metal down pipe with the

end of the discharge pipe clearly visible (tundish visible or not) or onto a roof
capable of withstanding high temperature discharges of water and 3m from
any plastic guttering systems that would collect such discharges.

4. Where a single pipe serves a number of discharges, such as in blocks of fl ats,

the number served should be limited to not more than 6 systems so that any
installation can be traced reasonably easily. The single common discharge pipe
should be at least one pipe size larger than the largest individual discharge pipe
to be connected. If unvented hot water storage systems are installed where
discharges form safety devices may not be apparent i.e. in dwellings occupied by
blind, infi rm or disabled people, consideration should be given to the installation
of an electronically operated device to warn when discharge takes place.

Safety

The safety devices supplied or fi tted on an Stainless Lite are selected for their suitability
for the temperatures and pressures involved. They must not be changed, removed or
by-passed and it is essential that only genuine replacement parts supplied or approved
by Gledhill Building Products Limited are used. This includes the immersion heaters,
which must incorporate an energy cut-out. All parts are available to approved installers
from Gledhill Building Products Limited, Sycamore Estate, Squires Gate, Blackpool
(Telephone 01253 474402).

Combination Inlet Group

Combines elements 1, 2 and 3 below.

Pressure Reducing Valve

- This must be fi xed near the cylinder. The cold water supply

to any mixer taps/showers must be taken from the cold water tapping of this valve
to ensure balanced hot and cold pressures. This valve is factory set to ensure the
correct operating pressure for the Stainless Lite.

Non Return Valve

- This is integral with the pressure reducing valve to prevent

backfl ow of hot water towards cold water draw off points.

Cold Water Expansion Relief Valve

- This safety device is preset at the factory and

will relieve excess cold water pressure resulting from a fault condition.
