Unvented hot water systems<br />

Unvented hot water systems are gaining in popularity<br />

and market share every year in the UK.<br />

The advantages that these unvented systems offer<br />

over traditional, vented systems has led to unvented<br />

systems becoming the standard for supplying<br />

domestic hot water.<br />

Unvented systems have the following characteristics:<br />

• Pressure is applied directly by the incoming water<br />

supply.<br />

• Pressure reducing valve limits the system pressure<br />

to a safe level as well as providing back flow<br />

prevention.<br />

• A pressure and temperature relief valve provides<br />

protection against over-pressure and over-temperature.<br />

• Expansion is accommodated by an expansion<br />

vessel.<br />

Hot water and heating systems<br />

improving the performance of taps and showers.<br />
