Packages of this type, fitted with a tempering valve can be used.
A drop tight pressure reducing valve
MUST
be fitted if the supply pressures
exceed 5 bar maintained.
An expansion vessel
MUST
be fitted (and regularly maintained) if any form of
backflow prevention device is fitted, e.g. non-return valve, PRV. This will
