Unvented Hot Water Cylinders G3

This course is aimed at experienced plumbing and heating operatives who require a qualification an re-assessment in the installation, servicing and maintenance of unvented hot water systems from 15 to 500 litres. The course has recently been updated in line with the Part G Building Regulation and also includes new information and guidance on accumulators. 

Competent Person schemes
The course is recognised by those Competent Person Schemes approved to offer a self certification scheme under the Part G Building Regulation enabling installers of unvented cylinders to self certify the installation and have CPS notify the local building control and issue a certificate of compliance to the householder.
Scope
  • Regulations, standards and guidelines
  • Theory of understanding of expansion of hot water
  • Principles of HW storage
  • Design considerations
  • Components and function
  • Safety controls, discharge and integration
  • Accumulators
  • Installation of unvented HW cylinders
  • Maintenance and servicing of unvented HW systems
  • Re-assessment of G3 every 5 years
  • Health & safety considerations

 

Minimum Criteria For Training And Assessment
It will be essential that the candidate will be experienced in the installation of domestic cold and hot water systems. It is also essential that the trainee holds one DCLG recognised competency in a conventional fuel i.e. gas, oil or solid fuel; or for those in the plumbing field an NVQ level 2 or equivalent plumbing qualification. A basic knowledge of the Water (fittings) regulations is also desirable although this course is available separately.
Further information
With the requirement by all certification bodies to issue 5 year certificates of competence only for unvented as required by the CPS's, awarding body Logic has recently issued an Unvented Re-assessment package offering the candidate savings in time and money over the normal full course; contact UK One for more details.
