iii) Discharges at high level; i.e. into a metal hopper and metal down pipe with the end of the discharge pipe clearly visible (tundish visible or not). Or onto a roof capable Fig. 4 Suggest ways of terminating discharge pipes safety Temperature & pressure relief valve Metal discharge pipe (D1) from temperature & pressure relief valve to tundish. 600 mm Max. Tundish 300 mm Min. Discharge below fixed grating. (see page 6 for alternative points of discharge). Metal discharge pipe (D2) from tundish with continuous fall. See Table 2 and worked example. Fixed grating. Trapped gulley 14 Or onto a roof capable of withstanding high temperature discharges of water 3 m from any plastic guttering systems that would collect such a discharge (tundish visible). iv) Where a single pipe serves a number of discharges, such as in blocks of flats, the number served should be limited to not more than 6 systems so that any installation can be traced reasonably easily. The single common discharge pipe should be at least one pipe size large than the largest individual discharge pipe to be connected. If unvented hot water storage systems are installed where discharges from safety devices may not be apparent i.e. in dwellings occupied by the blind, infirm or disabled people, consideration should be given to the installation of an electronically operated device to warn when discharge takes place. Note: The discharge will consist of scalding water and steam. Asphalt, roofing felt and non-metallic rainwater goods may be damaged by such discharges.

Worked example The example below is for a G 1/2” temperature & pressure relief valve with a discharge pipe (D2) having 4 no. elbows and length of 7 m from the tundish to the point of discharge. From Table 2 Maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 22 mm copper discharge pipe (D2) from G 1/2” T & P valve is 9 m. Subtract the d) resistance ELECTRICAL for 4 no. 22 WARNING: mm elbows at 0.8 m each = 3.2 m. Therefore the The maximum appliance permitted must length be equates earthed to: 5.8 m. As 5.8 m is less The than electrical the actual installation length of 7 m must therefore be in calculate line with the next the largest current size. I.E.E. wiring regulations. Maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 28 mm pipe (D2) from G 1/2” T & P valve equates to: 18 m.
