Copper tubing to BS EN 1057:1996 is recommended for water pipes.
Jointing should be either with capillary soldered or compression fittings.
Where possible pipes should have a gradient to ensure air is carried
naturally to air release points and water flows naturally to drain taps.
The appliance has a built-in automatic air release valve, however it should
be ensured as far as possible that the appliance heat exchanger is not a
natural collecting point for air.
Except where providing useful heat, pipes should be insulated to prevent
heat loss and avoid freezing.
Particular attention should be paid to pipes passing through ventilated
spaces in roofs and under floors.

The appliance has an integral sealed expansion vessel to accommodate the
increase of water value when the system is heated.
It can accept up to 6 l (1.3 gal) of expansion water. If the heating circuit has
