CONNECTION TO THE WATER SUPPLY

Connection to water supply should be made according to the markings for the connections, as defined in the previous Chapter.
For safety reasons the supply pipe must be fitted with a safety valve or, alternatively, a valve of the safety class that prevents the
pressure in the tank from exceeding the nominal pressure by more than 0.1 MPa (1 bar). The outlet opening on the safety valve
must be equipped with an outlet for atmospheric pressure. The heating of water in the storage tank causes the pressure in the tank
to increase to the level set by the safety valve. As the water cannot return to the water supply system, this can result in dripping
from the outlet opening of the safety valve. The drip can be piped to a drain by installing a catching unit just below the safety
valve. The drain installed below the safety valve outlet must be piped down vertically and placed in an environment that is free
from the onset of freezing conditions.
In case you want to avoid water dripping from the safety valve, an expansion tank for domestic water with at least 5 % of the
volume of the storage tank should be installed on the inlet pipe of the storage tank.
To ensure proper functioning of the safety valve, the user should perform regular controls to remove limescale and make sure the
safety valve is not blocked. To check the valve, open the outlet of the safety valve by turning the handle or unscrewing the nut of the
valve (depending on the type of valve). The valve is operating properly if the water comes out of the nozzle when the outlet is open.

The storage tank can be connected to the domestic water supply network without a pressure regulator if the pressure in the
network is lower than the nominal pressure (see the label). If the pressure in the network exceeds the nominal pressure, a pressure
regulator must be installed.
