The manufacturer’s notes must not be taken as overriding statutory obligations.
The BoilerMate BP is suitable for use with either a sealed primary or an open vented
central heating system.
The BoilerMate BP is not covered by section G3 of the current Building Regulations
and is therefore not notifiable to Building Control.
TheBoilerMateBPisnotintendedforusebypersons(includingchildren)withreduced

they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by
a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Description
The BoilerMate BP is an indirectly heated hot
wateronly thermalstore. Itis designedfor use
with a remote gas or oil boiler and is suitable
for both open vented and sealed heating
systems as long as they comply with the
recommendations of contained in the rest of
thismanual.Whenitisusedinasealedheating
system, the boiler should also be suitable for
the sealed heating systems.
An important feature of this concept is that
the hot water can be supplied directly from
the mains at high flow rates without the need
for temperature and pressure relief valves or
expansion vessels. This is achieved by passing
the mains water through the heat exchangers
insidethethermalstore.Theoutlettemperature
of the domestic hot water is regulated by a
thermostatic blending valve which is factory
set at 55±3°C .
Because the BoilerMateBP does not require
a safety discharge from a temperature and
pressure (T&P) valve, the installations in
buildings will be easier and will not suffer the
problems associated with using the PVCu soil
stacks to take discharge from the unvented
cylinders.
