1 Introduction & General Requirements1.1 Installation RequirementsThank you for purchasing a Grantunvented hot water storage cylinderfrom our cylinder range. This installationmanual must be read carefully beforeyou begin installing the cylinder.

This cylinder must be installed by acompetent person in compliance withall current legislation, codes of practiceand local by-laws covering theinstallation of an unvented hot watercylinder. Please also make sure that anyinstallation complies with theinstructions contained in this installationinstruction manual.

1.2 Water Supply RequirementsWe recommend that your GrantUnvented cylinder is installed with anuninterrupted water supply.

Where possible the unit should be fedvia a Ø22mm supply pipe. It requires asupply pressure of 1.5 bar with a flowrate of at least 20 litres per minute as aminimum for it to function. Even withthese rates, flow from the outlets will bedisappointing if several outlets are usedsimultaneously. Generally speaking, thehigher the supply pressure, the betterthe incoming system will function. Thecylinder control equipment is factory setto limit the incoming system operatingpressure to 2 bar. The maximum supplypressure into the pressure- reducingvalve (PRV) is 12 bar.

1.3 LocationThe unit is designed to be floorstanding, vertically mounted, indoors, ina 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(s).

The cylinder may stand on any flat andlevel surface without any specialfoundation preparations, provided that itis 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.

1.4 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.

1.5 About Your New Cylinder Twin Coil Solar indirect cylinders havetwo coils for connection to Primary heatsources. For Solar Thermal to beconnected, the bottom coil must beused. Please refer to the manufacturersinstallation instructions for moreinformation.

The central heating connections shouldbe made to the top coil.

Twin Coil indirect cylinders are alsosupplied fitted with a single 3kWelectric immersion heater.

1.6 Open Vented Hot WaterSystemsIf required, your Grant Twin CoilCylinder can be used as part of anOpen Vented hot water system, i.e. fedfrom a cold water storage cistern andfitted with an Open Vent pipe, providedthe maximum head does not exceed20m.

When used in this way, it will not benecessary to install the expansionvessel and cold inlet manifold suppliedwith the cylinder.

Note:The Temperature and Pressure relief(T&P) valve should be left connected tothe cylinder (as supplied). As it may stilloperate due to temperature it should beconnected in the correct manner – referto guidance given in Section 4 of theseInstructions.

1.7 Pipework ConnectionsAll Pipework connections to the cylindermust be made in accordance withFigures 2-4 to 2-6 as appropriate.

See note on page 7.

1.8 ScalingIn hard water areas scaling will forminside the cylinder and this will reduceboth the performance and working lifeof the cylinder. Where the totalhardness exceeds 125ppm a highcapacity water softener, or suitablewater conditioner, should be installed inthe incoming cold water supply to thecylinder.

It is recommended that the watertemperature control thermostats (on theimmersion heaters and dualthermostats) fitted to the cylinder be setno higher than 60°C to minimise scalebuild up.

1.9 InsulationAll Grant Cylinders are insulated with40mm thick CFC/HFC free, fireretardant, polyurethane foam injectedbetween the copper cylinder and theouter casing. This polyurethane foamhas a Global Warming Potential (GWP)of less than 3 and an Ozone DepletionPotential (ODP) of 0.

1.10 Health and SafetyThe information supplied in the table inSection 2 Technical Specification willhelp you assess the safest way tomanoeuvre your cylinder into position.Please use the table to find the emptyweight of your cylinder and thenconsider how you can safely move itinto its final position.

Please leave this manual with thehouseholder after installation.

3 Primary Circuit Installation3.3 Primary Connections 1. The primary flow and return

connections from the boiler shouldbe made to the upper coilconnections of the cylinder.

The motorised valve (supplied) mustbe fitted into the primary flow. Theprimary flow and return fittings are28mm compression. The valve has22mm compression connections.

2. Locate the dual thermostat in thepocket (refer to either Figure 2-1 or2-2, as appropriate, for location)and secure using the retainingscrews on the thermostat housing.

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

3.4 The 2-Port Valve To prevent gravity circulation when theboiler switches off, the 2-port motorisedvalve supplied with the unvented hotwater kit, must be fitted in the primaryflow pipe to the cylinder and wired inaccordance with Figures 5-3 or 5-5 forboilers (depending on system design) tocomply with current legislation.

3.5 Auxiliary PrimaryConnectionsSolar Heating

1. The Solar flow and returnconnections should be made to thelower coil connections. The lowercoil must be thermostaticallycontrolled.

2. If you are connecting anotherprimary heat source please refer tothe installation manual of thatappliance. Do not connect anuncontrollable appliance to thiscylinder (e.g solid fuel stove, multifuel stove, etc.).

3.6 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 the migrationof suspended solids in the water andhelp prevent the build up of lime scale.

No liability is accepted for cylinders inwhich no preventive action is taken toprevent limescale build-up.

3.1 Grant Twin Coil SolarCylindersGrant Twin Coil indirect solar cylindersare suitable for connection to most fullypumped domestic gas or oil firedcentral heating boilers working on anopen vented or sealed system having amaximum working pressure of 3 barand a maximum working temperature of90ºC. If you are in any doubt over theSuitability of a boiler for use with thecylinder, consult the boilermanufacturer.

IMPORTANTSolid fuel cookers or boilers andgravity circulation systems mustnot be used on the primary circuitof an unvented hot water system.

3.2 Systems (Twin Coil IndirectSolar Cylinders Only)If an existing system is a “flow share”arrangement such as an “S” or “Y” plantype system, (see Figures 5-4, 5-5 and5-6) they will provide satisfactoryresults, but during central heatingdemands, hot water production will notbe as responsive.

Note: No brass reducing setsshould be fitted into the coilconnection. A short section ofpipe should be fitted first andthen reduced.

4 Secondary Circuit Installation4.1 Cold Water Inlet ManifoldThis manifold contains a pressurereducing valve (with integral strainer),double check valve, expansion valvewith a stainless steel seat. The pressurereducing valve is factory set. The setpressure is shown on top of the valve.Maximum inlet pressure to valve is 12bar.

4.2 Installation1. Cold water supply to be 22mm

nominal size.

2. Flush supply pipework beforeconnection to remove all flux anddebris prior to fitting the inletcontrols. Failure to do this mayresult in irreparable damage tothe controls and will invalidatethe warranty. Once the pipeworkis flushed connect the coldsupply to the Inlet manifold.

3. The manifold can be installed in anyposition as long as it is installed inthe correct flow direction. Refer tothe arrows on the side of the body.Make sure that the head of theexpansion relief valve is offset fromthe cylinder for ease of access.

4. The expansion relief valve should beeither horizontal or upright - if fittedinverted, debris may be depositedon the seat and cause fouling of theseat when the valve operates.Check direction of flow arrows.

5. The black plastic plug in the body isa pressure gauge connection toenable pressure monitoring to becarried out, should the systemdevelop a fault. It is recommendedthat this be accessible.

4.3 Expansion VesselA suitable expansion vessel with a pre-charge pressure of 2 bar is supplied forfitting to all cylinders.

The supplied expansion vessel mustbe connected into the cold watersupply between the expansion reliefvalve (in the inlet manifold) and thecylinder using the flexible hoseprovided. Flexible hose not suppliedwith 50 litre expansion vessel. Thisvessel to be connected using rigid pipe.The expansion vessel must bepositioned with the entry point at thebottom. No valve should be fittedbetween the expansion vessel andcylinder.

The air charge pressure in theexpansion vessel must be regularlychecked (e.g. at every service) andtopped up as necessary. The correct aircharge pressure is 2 bar.

Refer to Sections 7.1 and 7.5 for furtherdetails.

4.4 Temperature and PressureRelief ValveThe temperature and pressure reliefvalve (T&P Valve) is supplied factoryfitted to the cylinder. The T&P valvemust not be removed from the cylinderor tampered with in any way. The valveis pre-set to lift at 4 bar or 90°C andany attempt to adjust it will invalidatethe warranty.

4.5 Hot Water Supply1. Connect the hot water supply pipe

to the top outlet (1) of the cylinder.

4.6 Prevention of ScaldingBuilding Regulations ApprovedDocument G (Part G3) requires that thehot water temperature supplied to abath should be limited to a maximum of48°C by using an in-line blending valve(available from Grant Engineering (IRL)Ltd) with a maximum temperature stop.The length of the supply pipe betweenthe blending valve and the bath hotwater outlet should be kept to aminimum to prevent the colonisation ofwaterborne pathogens (e.g. legionella).Refer to Approved Document G forfurther details.

6. Expansion relief drain pipeworkmust be connected to a safe visibledischarge point via a tundish andthe pipework must have acontinuous fall. Connect theExpansion Relief valve outlet intothe discharge pipe from theTemperature and Pressure Reliefvalve using a 15mm copper pipeand tee piece (not supplied). Fit theTundish below this tee piece usinga short length of copper pipe. Referto Sections 4.7, 4.8 and 4.9 forfurther information on Tundish andDischarge pipe.

7. The pressure reducing valve hastwo outlets, the second one is for abalanced cold water supply, to ashower or a bidet (over rim typeonly, ascending spray typerequires type AA, AB or AD airgap). Major shower manufacturersadvise fitting a mini expansionvessel in the balanced coldsupply to accommodate thermalexpansion and prevent tighteningof shower controls. If thedwelling has a shower mixingvalve (manual or thermostatic) ora Bidet (over rim type) use thecold water supply from theBalanced Cold water connectionon the Inlet Manifold for theseoutlets. Do not use the balancedcold connection to supply bathtaps as this can reduce the flowof water available to the cylinder.If the balanced cold water outlet isnot required, blank off the port.

4.8 Tundish The tundish must not be positionedabove or in close proximity of anyelectrical current carrying devices orwiring.

4.9 Discharge Pipe1. The discharge pipe from the

Tundish should terminate in a safeplace where there is no risk topersons in the vicinity of thedischarge, be of metal and:

a) Be at least one pipe size larger thanthe normal outlet size of the safetydevice unless its total equipmenthydraulic resistance exceeds that ofa straight pipe 9m long, i.e.discharge pipes between 9m and18m equivalent resistance lengthshould be at least larger than thenormal outlet size of the safetydevice, between 18m and 27m atleast three sizes larger and so on.Bends must be taken in to accountin calculating the flow resistance.See Sections 4.10, 4.11 and 4.12.

b) Have a vertical section of pipe atleast 300 mm long, below thetundish before any elbows or bendsin the pipe work.

c) Be installed with a continuous fall of1:40 (2.5°).

d) Have discharges visible at both thetundish and the final point ofdischarge but where this is notpossible or practically difficult thereshould be clear visibility at one orother of these locations.

2. Examples of acceptance dischargearrangements are:

a. ideally below a fixed grating andabove the water seal in a trappedgully.

b. downward discharges at a lowlevel; i.e. up to 100mm aboveexternal surfaces such as car parks,hard standings, grassed areas etc.are acceptable providing that wherechildren may play or otherwisecome in to contact with discharges,a wire cage or similar guard ispositioned to prevent contact,whilst maintaining visibility.

c. discharges at high level; e.g. in tometal hopper and metal down pipewith the end of the discharge pipeclearly visible (tundish visible or not)or onto a roof capable ofwithstanding high temperaturedischarges of water and 3m from

any plastics guttering systems thatwould collect such discharges(tundish visible).

3. Where a single pipe serves anumber of discharges, such as inblocks of flats, the number servedshould be limited to not more than6 systems so that any installationcan be traced reasonably easily.The single common discharge pipeshould be at least one pipe sizelarger than the largest individualdischarge pipe to be connected. If unvented hot water storagesystems are installed wheredischarges from safety devices maynot be apparent i.e. in dwellingsoccupied by blind, infirm or disabledpeople, consideration should begiven to the installation of anelectronically operated device towarm when discharge takes place.

Note:The discharge will consist ofscalding water and steam. Asphalt,roofing felt and non-metallicrainwater goods may be damagedby such discharges.

4.12 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.

The manual re-set high limitthermostat must not under anycircumstances be bypassed. This is pre-set to 80°C and to preventnuisance tripping the controlthermostat should always be left inposition 4.

! WARNING

d) The temperature setting of thecontrol thermostat should alwaysbe left in position 4.

5.3 Dual Thermostat (IndirectTemperature Control) For the Indirect models one DualThermostat (a combined control andhigh limit thermostat) is supplied withthe unvented hot water safety kit. It isfitted into the upper sensor pocket inthe cylinder (see Figures 2-4 to 2-6 forposition) to control the operation of theboiler primary coil.

The control thermostat has anadjustment range between 25°C and65°C, however it is recommended thatit is set to 60°C. The overheatthermostat incorporated within the dualthermostat will operate at 90°C.

5.4 2-Port Valve (Indirect only)To comply with regulations governingthe installation of indirect unventedcylinders, a 2-port motorised valvemust be fitted in the primary flow toprevent gravity circulation when theboiler switches off. Your Grant Twin Coilunit has been supplied with a 2-portmotorised valve, which will act as apositive energy cut-out should thesafety cutout operate. Should thishappen the motorised valve will operateand close down the primary flow to thecylinder. The valve should be wired inaccordance with Figures 5-3, 5-5 or5-7 depending on system design, tocomply with current legislation.

This motorised valve will also controlthe temperature of the domestic storedwater via the cylinder thermostat, whichis located in the upper dual thermostat.The unit should be installed on a “S” or“Y” plan system as shown in Figures 5-2, 5-4 and 5-6.

5.2 Immersion Heater WiringInstructions a) Ensure the main’s voltage

corresponds to the voltage rating of the immersion heater as shownon the rating label on the terminalcover.

b) The immersion heater is factoryfitted to the cylinder. If theimmersion heater needs to bereplaced it must be fitted to thecylinder using the gasket providedon the unit. Use a shaped spanner,Stillsons or pipe grips should not beused. The use of sealing compoundis not recommended.

c) Wire the immersion heater inaccordance with the wiring diagram(Figure 5-1). It should be wiredthrough a double pole isolator switch or controller, with a minimumbreak capacity of 13 amp havingcontact separation of at least 3mm, using 1.5mm sq. flexible cable,85°C rubber insulated HOFRsheathed, to comply with BS 6141table 8 and must be fully earthed.

6 Commissioning, Draining Down & Safety6.1 Filling the CylinderIMPORTANTBefore filling the cylinder check that theimmersion heater has not loosened intransit. Tighten as necessary using ashaped spanner. Stillsons or pipe gripsshould not be used.

1. Open all hot water taps.

2. Turn on the stop cock.

3. When water flows from all taps close the taps.

4. Allow system to stabilise for five minutes.

5. Open each hot water tap in turn to expel air from the system pipe work.

6. Check for leaks.

7. Manually operate Temperature andPressure Relief Valve (16) - Figures2-4 to 2-6, to ensure free waterflow through discharge pipe. (Turnknob to left).

6.2 Draining DownSwitch the electrical power off(important to avoid damage to element).Isolate boiler from Twin Coil Copperunit.

Turn off the cold water supply valve(stop cock). Open hot water taps. Opendrain (20) - Figures 2-2. The unit willdrain.

6.3 Safety Cut-Out1. The safety cut-out operates if:

a. Wiring is incorrect.

b. The immersion heater thermostat orcylinder thermostat fails.

c. Thermostat is set too high.

2. Remember before resetting thesafety cut-out or altering thethermostat setting, isolate electricalsupply to the unit prior to removalof the electrical box lid.

3. Reduce thermostat setting andpress the reset button. Afteradjustments are completed, ensurethe lid to the electrical box isreplaced correctly and the retainingscrew is fitted.

4. If the problem persists, pleasecontact your installer in the firstinstance.

6.4 Cold Water Discharge fromTundishThere are two reasons why cold waterwill discharge from the tundish:

1. The pressure reducing valve hasmalfunctioned (This will cause alarge volume of water to flowthrough the tundish).

2. The Expansion relief valve is lettingby (This will cause a very lowvolume of water to flow through the tundish).

In both cases, identify the defectivecomponent and replace. All repairsmust be carried out by a competentperson.

6.5 Hot Water Discharge fromTundishThere are four reasons why hot waterwill discharge from the tundish:

1. Thermal cut-out has malfunctioned.

2. The control thermostat hasmalfunctioned.

3. The T & P valve is letting by.

4. The expansion vessel has failed orlost its charge.

In all cases, should a repair benecessary, the work must be carriedout by a competent person.

Isolate the cylinder from all electricalsupplies before commencingmaintenance work.

6.6 Expansion Vessel1. The expansion vessel is connected

into the cold water supply to thecylinder using the flexible hose.Flexible hose not supplied with 50litre vessel. This vessel is connectedusing rigid pipe. Refer to Section4.3.

Note:No valve should be fitted betweenthe expansion vessel and thesupply pipe.

2. Ensure that the air charge in thevessel matches the pressure settingshown on the pressure reducingvalve.

3. The expansion vessel must beinstalled even if an accumulator isfitted.

4. The charge of the vessel must bechecked at every annual service.

5. The expansion vessel must be fittedafter the pressure reducing valve.

6.7 Customer Handover1. Explain the operation of the system

to the User, referring to Section 10of these instructions.

7 Maintenance7.1 Servicing and Maintenance1. Servicing and maintenance must

only be carried out by a competentunvented hot water installer, or byGrant Engineering (IRL) Ltdauthorised 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 Figures 2-4 to 2-6) androute it to a convenient gully. Openthe drain cock and all hot taps thatare served by the cylinder. Thecylinder may take several minutes toempty 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.

6. Remove the cartridge from thepressure-reducing valve (PRV).Check the strainer and if necessaryremove any debris from in front ofit. Replace the cartridge. Refer tosection 7.3 on the right.

7. Check the charge pressure in theexpansion vessel and top up asnecessary. The charge pressureshould be 2 bar. Refer to section7.5 on the right.

! WARNING

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. Manually lift the expansion relief andtemperature and pressure reliefvalve one at a time, every 12months (more frequently in hardwater areas) 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.

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

7.2 Manifold AssemblyThe manifold assembly should not,under normal circumstance, require anymaintenance. During annual servicing itmay be necessary to inspect and/orclean the line strainer, the pressurereducing valve cartridge, expansionrelief valve cartridge. The frequency ofcleaning will depend on the local waterconditions.

7.3 Pressure Reducing Valve1. Isolate the cold water supply.

2. Unscrew the retaining nut of thevalve. The complete operatingmechanism, including the strainercan be removed.

3. Clean the filter mesh and thecartridge under running water.

4. Replace cartridge ensuring thatstrainer is correctly located andreassemble the unit.

10 User Instructions10.1 User Instructions1. Your Grant Twin Coil Solar unvented

hot water cylinder has beendesigned to give many years oftrouble-free service and is madefrom high grade copper.

2. The flow temperature of the hotwater can be set to yourrequirements on the immersionheater up to 60°C and the indirectsystem dual thermostat up to 65°C.These temperatures should not beset any higher otherwise nuisancetripping of the high limit thermostatwill occur. If you are in any doubt,these adjustments should be bestleft to a qualified electrician.

3. When a hot tap is turned on theremay be a short surge of water, this isquite normal with unvented systemsand does not mean there is a fault.

4. When you first fill a basin the watermay sometimes appear milky. Thisis due to very tiny air bubbles in thewater, which will clear very quickly.

If water is seen to flow from either theTemperature & Pressure Relief (T&PValve) valve or the Expansion ReliefValve (EV) on the cylinder seek expertadvice immediately.

If the water is flowing from the T&PValve, immediately:

Shut off the electrical supply to theimmersion heater(s)

Shut down the boiler

Switch off ALL other heat sources tothe cylinder e.g. solar, etc.

DO NOT SHUT OFF THE WATERSUPPLY TO THE CYLINDER.

Contact your installer to check thesystem.

IMPORTANTDo NOT tamper with any of the Safetycontrols fitted to the cylinder. If yoususpect a fault always contact aCOMPETENT installer who isQUALIFIED to work on unventedwater cylinders.
