Sealed System Kit FAQs
Sealed System Kit FAQs
Which System Would a Sealed System Kit be Compatible With?
Nearly all domestic closed systems would be compatible, however, it’s advisable to check actual system expansion needed so as to size the vessel correctly. It must also be noted that certain age radiators cannot be sealed due to pressure issues.
Can a Sealed System Kit Be Used to Upgrade an Open Vented System?
It’s the perfect solution to convert an open vented system to a sealed one, thus removing the risk of storing water in the loft space.
What Rating Does The Safety Relief Valve Carry That is Found Within the Kit?
This product is supplied with a 3bar safety relief valve which is normally the standard across domestic installation.
Can the Vessel Be Mounted in Any Position?
It is acceptable to mount in any orientation, however, Altecnic would always recommend following local building regulations and where possible having the safety relief valve positioned in such a way that debris cannot sit on the valve seat.
What Colour Should the Vessel Be?
Do I Have to Fit All the Components In the Kit Together?
The sealed system, or “robokit”, provide a one-stop shop for a sealed system, however, it is not always the case that all components require fitting. If you have a combination boiler or a system boiler, the machine already includes an SRV which requires installation, removing the need to install the SRV included in the robokit.
Do I Have to Check the Kit Annually?
The vessel will require the “pre-charge” testing once a year, this usually forms part of the annual service carried out when the boiler is checked.
