Handy guide for vessels installers

Altecnic, one of the UK's leading suppliers of plumbing products, has published a handy guide for anyone who installs heating, potable or flow through expansion vessels.

The pocket -sized booklet is centred on the acclaimed Reflex range and clearly highlights the advantages of using a nitrogen fill over compressed air to ensure that the performance and reliability of central heating systems isn't compromised.

Chris Brass, Technical Manager at Altecnic, explained: "The latest guide is part of our growing collection of easy-to-follow information booklets that cover a range of critical plumbing components.

"As well as offering advice on sizing and installation, it highlights the benefits of the Reflex range, including their extended life expectancy and unrivalled reliability."

Central to the performance of the Reflex range is the use of nitrogen rather than compressed air inside the vessels. This reduces the risk of corrosion as the gas is less able to permeate through the vessel's internal membrane - helping to maintain the correct pressure in the system for longer than more traditional designs.

"So confident are we of the reliability of the Reflex range, we are proud to offer a five year warranty," Chris added.

Further information about the Reflex expansion vessel range is available on the Altecnic website at www.altecnic.co.uk, and copies of the handy guide can be requested by telephoning 01785 218 222.
