Installing the Fittings
On the tap water side of the calorifier, use only corrosion-resist-
ant fittings (stainless steel or brass).
WARNING!
Never use fittings made of steel or iron!
Fit a non-return valve (8) on the tap water intake and an excess
pressure valve (6) on the tap water outlet.
Pressure Valve
The pressure valve should be adjusted to 4 Bar (4 kgf/cm
the water heats up, the pressure valve will operate, water drop-
lets and a little water loss is normal.
If you do not want water running about freely, then connect the
outlet connection to a pressure-free drain pipe.
When assembling all accessories and fittings, use a good qual-
ity, removable screw-thread sealant. Disassembly may be nec-
essary for maintenance, draining and preparation for winter!
Pipes for Tap Water
Use a good quality reinforced hose, stainless steel or copper
pipes for the tap water pipes. Always connect pipes to the
calorifier with short lengths of hose. These lengths of hose will
accommodate vibration and prevent the pipes splitting.
The reinforced hose must be of foodstuffs quality and resistant
to at least 100˚C and a pressure of 8 Bar (8kgf/cm
Insulate the pipes and fittings to prevent unnecessary heat
loss.
Vetus supplies a hose which is suitable for tap water. This hose
has an internal diameter of 16 mm., is tasteless, non-toxic,
resistant to temperatures up to 160˚C, with a working pressure
of 8 Bar (8kgf/cm

Pipes from Engine to Calorifier
The coolant water pipes from the ship's engine to the calorifier
should be as short as possible, so that the increase in engine
coolant capacity is kept to a minimum and no extra expansion
space is required. These pipes must be installed so that they
are absolutely self-bleeding.
The pipes should have the same cross-section as the calori-
fier/heater connections on the ship's engine, so that no extra
resistance is created.
Also consult the engine supplier's instructions.
Use a good quality reinforced hose or copper pipes.
TAKE CARE
Always connect metal pipes with short lengths of hose to
the engine and the calorifier. The hose will accommodate
vibration and prevent the pipes splitting.
The reinforced hose should be resistant to a temperature of
at least 100˚C, and a pressure of 4 Bar (4 kgf/cm
use the same hose as for the tap water - Vetus Article Code:
WHHOSE16.
Fit each hose connection with a stainless steel hose clamp.
Calorifier WH20B, WH31B, WH45B, WH55B and WH75B
In order to reduce heat loss with the engine off, it is recom-
mended that the pipes and fittings are insulated.
Heating Element
There is an electrical heating element, power 1000 Watt / 230
V, fitted in the boiler. The heating element is controlled by a
thermostat.
Connect the heating element as shown in the wiring diagram.
Connect the earth terminals, both from the boiler and the heating
element, to the earthing point on the boat!
A different heating element can be fitted as an alternative. The
following electrical heating element (with adjustable thermostat)
is available:
