Installation requirements of
domestic hot water plumbing
systems
Unit 206: Domestic hot water systems
A standard, gravity fed, hot water system requires the head
height between the cold water storage cistern and the hot
water cylinder to be a high as possible.
The greater the head height, the greater the pressure.
The larger the pipe diameter, the greater the flow rate.
Installation
Installation
When a hot tap is opened the weight of the water under
gravity pushes the cold water from the CWSC, down the
cold feed pipe into the hot water cylinder.
In turn, the hot water in the cylinder leaves the top of the
cylinder via the hot distribution pipe and travels through the
pipework towards the outlet.
Installation
Installation
The connection to the CWSC of the cold feed is made via
a tank connector – these can be compression or push fit.
The position of the connection is vital.
From the bottom of the CWSC, measure
up 25mm, which will be the cold
distribution. Measure up a further 25mm
and this will be the cold feed position.
The cold feed is sized
according to BS6700.
Installation
The cold feed is always positioned above the cold
distribution. This is because if the float operated valve was
to fail and the cistern did not refill with water, the CWSC
would eventually empty of water.
The highest tapping is the cold feed, which would mean the
hot water would stop first and therefore avoid any scalding
to people, particularly in a shower.
All pipes should be laid with a slight fall (except the hot
water draw off) to prevent airlocks within the system.
Installation
On a rising main to the CWSC, just prior to the float
operated valve, a service valve must be installed to allow
maintenance on the float operated valve.
On the cold feed pipe, a fullway gate valve must be
installed, generally within 1 metre of the cistern. (It must be
a fullway gate valve, as this is a low pressure system.) This
means it will generally be found in the loft or airing
cupboard. This gate valve, if closed, will stop the flow of
water to the hot water system and therefore allow
maintenance to be carried out.

When a hot water outlet is opened the hot water leaves the
cylinder via the hot distribution pipe. The initial part of the
hot distribution, which leads to the vent pipe connection,
must be a minimum of 450mm in length and slightly rise
towards the open vent.
The 450mm length of pipe prevents one pipe circulation
which causes loss of heat. The rise in the pipe allows for
any air to migrate up towards the open vent, rather than
being trapped and causing an air lock.
Installation
Installation
450mm long
preventing
one pipe
circulation.
Slightly rising
allowing any
air to escape
up the open
vent.
Parasitic circulation (or one pipe circulation) is circulation
that occurs within the same pipe. It generally occurs in
open vent pipes that rise vertically from the hot water
storage cylinder.
The hotter, central water rises up
the vent pipe and the cooler water,
near the walls of the pipe, falls back
into the cylinder. This can be a major
cause of heat loss from hot water
storage cylinders.
Installation
The open vent pipe rises vertically from this connection to
the CWSC cistern. Both the open vent pipe and cold feed
pipe (but primarily the cold feed pipe)
take up the
expansion in the
hot water when
it is heated.
The water level in
the CWSC will
rise slightly.
Installation
The open vent pipe must not be smaller than 22mm and
must terminate over the cold water storage cistern. It also
must not have any valves
connected to it, as its primary
function is safety in case of
the system overheating.
Installation
It is important that the height of the open vent pipe over the
CWSC is measured correctly.
From the water level:
The 22mm vent height from secondary hot water system is
worked out by:
150mm + 40mm per metre of system height (m)
Installation
All hot water cylinders must be part L compliant, which
means they heat up efficiently and they do not lose the heat
when heated, due to the insulation.
The cylinders are labelled with a
Benchmark certificate, outlining the
details of the cylinder.
Installation
If a hot water cylinder is required to be installed in a loft or
attic area (sealed system) where height may be restricted,
a horizontal cylinder may be an option.
Installation
Components
Thermostat
The boiler has a thermostat that regulates the primary
water temperature, which flows to the coil. When the
primaries are up to temperature, the boiler will cut out until
the temperature reduces.
Components
Thermostat
There is a problem with the control of the temperature
produced by solid fuel boilers. With a gas or electric boiler
the heat can be switched off and controlled; with a solid fuel
boiler it is uncontrolled.
Components
The cylinder has a thermostat that regulates the domestic
hot water temperature. This is placed one-third of the way
up the cylinder. When the water is up to temperature, this
operates the motorised valve and stops the primary water
from circulating through the coil.
In all hot water cylinders, when they are up to temperature
there is a temperature difference between the top and bottom
of the cylinder. This is called temperature stratification.
There is a baffle installed in
some cylinders, which
prevents incoming cold
water mixing with the hot
water.
The temperature difference
can be up to 100
C. The cylinder
stat is place one-third of the
way up the cylinder.

Installation
Installation
All hot water systems, whether centralised or localised
need to have the advantages and disadvantages outlined
to the customer.
Before suggestions are made the engineer needs to
consider:
•Property size
•Storage capacity
•Usage
•Fuel type
•Installation cost
•Efficiency

Installation requirements

  • 1. Outcome 3 (part 1) Installation requirements of domestic hot water plumbing systems Unit 206: Domestic hot water systems
  • 2. A standard, gravity fed, hot water system requires the head height between the cold water storage cistern and the hot water cylinder to be a high as possible. The greater the head height, the greater the pressure. The larger the pipe diameter, the greater the flow rate. Installation
  • 4. When a hot tap is opened the weight of the water under gravity pushes the cold water from the CWSC, down the cold feed pipe into the hot water cylinder. In turn, the hot water in the cylinder leaves the top of the cylinder via the hot distribution pipe and travels through the pipework towards the outlet. Installation
  • 6. The connection to the CWSC of the cold feed is made via a tank connector – these can be compression or push fit. The position of the connection is vital. From the bottom of the CWSC, measure up 25mm, which will be the cold distribution. Measure up a further 25mm and this will be the cold feed position. The cold feed is sized according to BS6700. Installation
  • 7. The cold feed is always positioned above the cold distribution. This is because if the float operated valve was to fail and the cistern did not refill with water, the CWSC would eventually empty of water. The highest tapping is the cold feed, which would mean the hot water would stop first and therefore avoid any scalding to people, particularly in a shower. All pipes should be laid with a slight fall (except the hot water draw off) to prevent airlocks within the system. Installation
  • 8. On a rising main to the CWSC, just prior to the float operated valve, a service valve must be installed to allow maintenance on the float operated valve. On the cold feed pipe, a fullway gate valve must be installed, generally within 1 metre of the cistern. (It must be a fullway gate valve, as this is a low pressure system.) This means it will generally be found in the loft or airing cupboard. This gate valve, if closed, will stop the flow of water to the hot water system and therefore allow maintenance to be carried out. Installation
  • 9. Installation Service valve prior to the float operated valve Fullway gate valve on the cold feed
  • 10. When a hot water outlet is opened the hot water leaves the cylinder via the hot distribution pipe. The initial part of the hot distribution, which leads to the vent pipe connection, must be a minimum of 450mm in length and slightly rise towards the open vent. The 450mm length of pipe prevents one pipe circulation which causes loss of heat. The rise in the pipe allows for any air to migrate up towards the open vent, rather than being trapped and causing an air lock. Installation
  • 11. Installation 450mm long preventing one pipe circulation. Slightly rising allowing any air to escape up the open vent.
  • 12. Parasitic circulation (or one pipe circulation) is circulation that occurs within the same pipe. It generally occurs in open vent pipes that rise vertically from the hot water storage cylinder. The hotter, central water rises up the vent pipe and the cooler water, near the walls of the pipe, falls back into the cylinder. This can be a major cause of heat loss from hot water storage cylinders. Installation
  • 13. The open vent pipe rises vertically from this connection to the CWSC cistern. Both the open vent pipe and cold feed pipe (but primarily the cold feed pipe) take up the expansion in the hot water when it is heated. The water level in the CWSC will rise slightly. Installation
  • 14. The open vent pipe must not be smaller than 22mm and must terminate over the cold water storage cistern. It also must not have any valves connected to it, as its primary function is safety in case of the system overheating. Installation
  • 15. It is important that the height of the open vent pipe over the CWSC is measured correctly. From the water level: The 22mm vent height from secondary hot water system is worked out by: 150mm + 40mm per metre of system height (m) Installation
  • 16. All hot water cylinders must be part L compliant, which means they heat up efficiently and they do not lose the heat when heated, due to the insulation. The cylinders are labelled with a Benchmark certificate, outlining the details of the cylinder. Installation
  • 17. If a hot water cylinder is required to be installed in a loft or attic area (sealed system) where height may be restricted, a horizontal cylinder may be an option. Installation
  • 18. Components Thermostat The boiler has a thermostat that regulates the primary water temperature, which flows to the coil. When the primaries are up to temperature, the boiler will cut out until the temperature reduces.
  • 19. Components Thermostat There is a problem with the control of the temperature produced by solid fuel boilers. With a gas or electric boiler the heat can be switched off and controlled; with a solid fuel boiler it is uncontrolled.
  • 20. Components The cylinder has a thermostat that regulates the domestic hot water temperature. This is placed one-third of the way up the cylinder. When the water is up to temperature, this operates the motorised valve and stops the primary water from circulating through the coil.
  • 21. In all hot water cylinders, when they are up to temperature there is a temperature difference between the top and bottom of the cylinder. This is called temperature stratification. There is a baffle installed in some cylinders, which prevents incoming cold water mixing with the hot water. The temperature difference can be up to 100 C. The cylinder stat is place one-third of the way up the cylinder. Online resource: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SV2vdGPLRiY&feature=related Installation
  • 22. Installation All hot water systems, whether centralised or localised need to have the advantages and disadvantages outlined to the customer. Before suggestions are made the engineer needs to consider: •Property size •Storage capacity •Usage •Fuel type •Installation cost •Efficiency
