Un-vented Hot Water Sealed Systems
Blue Flame Heating Solutions are certified to Install, Commission and Service Un-vented Hot water Sealed Systems.
Prior to 1985 it was illegal to install an un-vented hot water storage system with a capacity greater than 15 litres directly connected to the cold water mains supply.
With the introduction of the Building Regulations 1985, a relaxation of the Water Byelaw's current at the time and the Water Byelaw's which came into force on the 1 January 1989, such systems may now be installed in the UK.
Testing Requirements
Because of the differences between un-vented hot water storage systems and traditional vented hot water storage systems within the UK regarding the requirements for safety devices, it is essential that un-vented systems comply with the Building Regulations and that installers are competent i.e. one holding a current Registered Operative card for the installation of un-vented domestic hot water storage systems.
The advantages of the un-vented system are:
-
Balanced hot and cold water pressures.
-
Improved shower performance.
-
Less pipework and no storage tanks.
-
Reduced risk of frost damage to system.
-
Saving on installation time and costs.
-
High resistance to corrosion.
-
Excellent heat transfer capability.
-
Allows the use of a wider range of modern tap fittings and showers.
-
High efficiency insulation.
-
Flexibility of vessel location and hence system design.
Did you know that un-vented (or pressurised/mains pressure) hot water systems should only be repaired or installed by certified engineers?
Ask your installer if they are certified and check their ID card before getting work done!
