must be installed underneath the water heater. A drainage device connected to the sewer
system is required.

0.8 MPa (8 bar) and size 1/2» in diameter must be fitted. The safety valve must be protected
from frost.

(5 bar) and will be installed on the main supply pipe.
• Connect the safety unit to a discharge pipe, kept in the open air, in a frost-free environment,
continuously sloping downwards to drain off the heat-expanded water or to allow for drainage
of the water heater.
