Installation: FAQs
Are there any specific requirements for cold water storage cistern outlet valves?
Where practicable all outlets from a storage cistern should be located at the bottom of the cistern and to encourage mixing and prevent areas of stagnation or ‘short circuiting’ within the cistern on the opposite side to the inlet.
All outlets from cold water storage cisterns, except vent pipes, overflow pipes and warning pipes, should be fitted with a servicing valve as close to the cistern as is reasonably practicable.
