Understanding the Requirements for Unvented Cylinder Pipework

Unvented cylinders need specific pipework configurations to operate safely. This includes correctly sized vent pipes, pressure relief valves, and temperature relief valves. The discharge pipework must also be installed in a way that safely directs any released hot water to a safe discharge point. Altering this pipework without the correct knowledge can compromise the safety of the entire system.

Common Pipework Alterations We Handle

We handle a wide range of unvented cylinder pipework alterations, including:

  • Re-routing pipework: Adjusting pipe runs to accommodate new layouts or building work.
  • Upgrading pipe sizes: Ensuring adequate flow rates for optimal performance.
  • Installing additional safety features: Adding or upgrading safety valves and discharge pipes.
  • Connecting new appliances: Integrating new showers or taps into your existing unvented system.

The Importance of a Tundish in Your Unvented System

A tundish is a critical component of an unvented cylinder system. It's a small, open funnel installed in the discharge pipework that allows you to visually check if the pressure relief valve is discharging. This is a key indicator of potential problems within the system. We ensure your tundish is correctly positioned and functioning correctly during any pipework alterations.

Avoiding Common Mistakes with Unvented Cylinder Pipework

Incorrect pipe sizing, inadequate ventilation, and improper discharge termination are common mistakes that can render an unvented system unsafe. Our experienced engineers are trained to identify and correct these issues, ensuring your system operates safely and efficiently for years to come.
