Understanding the Importance of Correct Tundish Installation

The tundish is a critical component in an unvented cylinder system, acting as a visual warning sign for potential issues. It's a small, open funnel that allows you to see if the pressure relief valve is discharging water. Incorrect installation or obstruction of the tundish can prevent you from identifying problems early, potentially leading to more serious issues. Our engineers ensure the tundish is correctly positioned and connected, allowing for easy visual inspection and safe discharge of any excess pressure.

Adhering to G3 Regulations for Unvented Cylinder Safety

Unvented hot water cylinders are subject to strict G3 building regulations, designed to ensure their safe installation and operation. These regulations cover everything from cylinder sizing and pressure ratings to pipework materials and safety device requirements. At Preferred Gas, we have a thorough understanding of G3 regulations and ensure all our pipework alterations comply with these standards.

Minimising the Risk of System Failure

Incorrect pipework alterations can significantly increase the risk of system failure in unvented cylinders. This can lead to costly repairs, property damage, and even potential safety hazards. By entrusting your pipework alterations to Preferred Gas, you can minimise these risks and ensure your system operates reliably for years to come. We use only high-quality materials and proven techniques to ensure a safe and long-lasting solution.
