WATER CONNECTIONS
System circuit connection
• Remove the protective caps from the water connections
• Use a flat gasket to ensure tightness
• Connect the flexible joints to the heat pump system fittings
• Connect the system pipes to the flexible joints
• Use two spanners to tighten the water connections
• Install the filter on the system return pipe
The heat pump is supplied with an expansion vessel for the
system (NOT FOR DOMESTIC hOT WATER) and a 6 bar
safety valve.
The expansion vessel is suitable for the radiant panel sys-
tem, hydronic terminal system and radiator system with fol-
lowing installation maximum water content *:

The expansion vessel pre-charge pressure depends on the
height the heat pump is installed at.
To determine the pre-charge value, proceed as follows:
Vessel pre-charge = h + 0.3
h in bars (10 metres ~ 1 bar)
For height differences exceeding 12 metres, the volume of
water in the system as described above may decrease; eval-
uate whether the expansion vessel supplied is sufficient for
each system, otherwise install an additional expansion ves-
sel.
