I have never fitted anything like this before. I have no tickets for these sorts of things if indeed they are needed. It appears to need what I presume is mains cold in and then has hot out. It was pulled off wall of a shop being closed down by builders and sold for a tenner to a passer-by, my friend. She lives in a house without gas and with an "old system" which I've not seen but I understand from description is prob immersion heated vented traditional.
This weighs a lot, doesn't have it's bracket, no instructions, no idea of how much it was used or any problems with it, evidence of scale round connections to machine.
I presume the attatchments are a expansion vessel of some sort? Builder said he thought it was a water softenener but doesn't look like it to me, a tundish and connection intended to join to overflow, and some sort of red dial perhaps for selecting at which point it might cut-out of an expel if over-heating? No idea, basically. That could all be nonsense.
She wondered if I could plumb it in in her house and she got get a spark to connect since is due for a re-wire shortly.
Given there is no bracket and so something would have to "improvised" (but it weighs a tonned so no idea how safe using anything other than recommended bracket would be,) that I've yet to see her house or whether there is a suitable place for it, given my complete lack of knowledge and experience about these systems, any rules and regs, testing proceedures, no instructions, having never fitted one before... Should the answer be no? Or could it be yes? And what would be the main reasons for whichever is the answer?
For the record I've 3 yrs plumbing experience, lots of basic stuff, taps, toilets, tanks, that sort of thing.
I'm not interested in doing anything illegal, unwise or unsafe.
